Ireland look set to continue their knock out choking. Have been poor.

Rubbish. They are beatable but hardly poor. Our guys got wiped off the floor by SA. I’d be delighted if NZ could play at Ireland’s level.

Ireland win!

I think it’s more accurate to say the Boks lost. Ireland were shit.

[booboo]

Fuck the ball came out.

Knock on?

[Stargazer]

Those missed kicks at goal costing SA the game.

Interesting set of circumstances for us going into a quarter final as underdogs

If they meet again in the final, I can't see Boks missing that many kicks again

You know that they'll have a new ten for the rest of the tournament

[Kirwan]

And who took that maul down?

[taniwharugby]

neither team much chop with ball in hand, but gee thier defence and ruck work is top notch

Sounds like Brer O’Keefe says:

There it is. Where is it. No, hasn’t come out.

Maybe the defence is why neither team could attack much….

No real use having attack, if they don't allow you to use it. As what will happen to ABs

[Kirwan]

Out of those two teams, much prefer to play Ireland. We get a fluke try and Ireland can’t chase a game.

[sparky]

16th straight win for Ireland.

[Victor Meldrew]

SA the better rugby players, Ireland the better team.

He said use it, they didn't, turn over. Right call

[His Bobness]

@taniwharugby It’s the World Cup success recipe, though, isn’t it? Ball in hand a distant disadvantage.

[Mattasaurus]

Discipline has been awesome from both teams. No cards - not even a warning

BOK reffed very well - one of his best i think. (I genuinely feel an English or French ref would have made this a very different game)

Cracking game as a neutral - ( my dislike of Sexton makes me want him to lose)

Ireland celebrating like they just won the cup - long way to go yet...... Goal kicking was the difference for me.

Impressive considering who they have beaten in that streak also.

[Tim]

Congratulations Ireland, huge performance.

I think the defences is the nullifying factor,

Ireland have looked great against lesser opponents a bit like us
