Ieuan Evans; "A tough week for that man Joe Schmidt..."

What about Andy Farrell behind him who has to keep coaching these lads next season?

Irish backline has been particularly disasterous today

Great way to end it.

What a cunt of a comment.

Don't pick any woman beaters if you don't want the comments then.

Beauden Barrett has been amazing.

The best player on the pitch for me today, and by some distance.

Jordie makes up for Nigel's mistake/pisstake

I'm starting to think Ireland may not squeak this at the end.

What a manshaming

Just like the Barrett boys practiced in their backyard...

This is the most depressing game I’ve ever been to. Feels like we didn’t fire a shot.

All blacks were brilliant, didn’t give us an opening. Gotta be very happy going forward. Good luck guys.

Hats off to the AB forwards. Had to turn up tonight and they bloody well did.

Commiserations Ireland. ABs had to bring their A-game today to beat a team as good as the Green.

I’m disgusted about Nigels Irish love.

Well done kiwis, different class. Dont think anyone will stop you, England will make a game of it but thats it

46-14
Well played NZ

Salanya · Post by **Salanya** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:13 pm

Not how Joe and some of our players deserved to end their Ireland careers, but you have to earn it on the day.

And we were outplayed by the best - congrats kiwis

Is that Todd yellow legit?

I mean it's done, but how can he be offside?

ovalball · Post by **ovalball** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:14 pm

Jeez - A man up and they let NZ have the biggest overlap imaginable.

Terribly disappointing game (if you aren't a NZ fan).

Gazzamonster · Post by **Gazzamonster** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:14 pm

Ah that is nice by the Irish fans towards Joe.

BlueThunder · Post by **BlueThunder** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:14 pm

Thank you Mr Schmidt, mission accomplished, transferring the funds now.

Quarter final exit

Tradition upheld

Pump the pigdogs NZ!

1st game today was gripping. This was horrible to watch. Ireland gone back rapidly which is a shame

Ah well, roll on tomorrow.

Well done NZ. Again, sorry we didn't give you a game.

Should be a belter next week.

Off to find a cat to kick.

Yep - best game from him I have seen in ages.

Congrats NZ - too good.

So that’s Ireland still with a worse World Cup record than Scotland over the years.

bessantj · Post by **bessantj** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:15 pm

Well done New Zealand, a really comprehensive game by yourselves. Must be chuffed at the result.

Well all reset for Ireland now.

Congrats to both teams for an enjoyable rugby match...

Very very pleased with the ABs - really high quality performance...

It is. It's a true statement (All Blacks do have only one though), but the timing is a bit off. Sour grapes.
