16th straight win for Ireland.

Impressive considering who they have beaten in that streak also.

Congratulations Ireland, huge performance.

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

I think the defences is the nullifying factor,

Ireland have looked great against lesser opponents a bit like us

SA the better rugby players, Ireland the better team.

This illustrates the Lowe is overrated argument.

[Canes4life]

I’m glad the Irish won, I think I’d rather play them in the quarters than the Boks.

@Machpants just watched it again. Definitely don’t hear ‘use it’

[sparky]

Ireland very impressive. Hugely organised, incredible discipline and so much rugby smarts.

[KiwiMurph]

It's Ireland's World Cup to lose.

I can't see us being clinical, smart or physical enough to beat them in a quarter.

[Kirwan]

I see the Boks winning the whole thing.

[game_film]

Simultaneously fascinating and joyless

Pressure is a funny thing, and Ireland are bigger chokers than even the French at world cups.

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph France are up there aswell if Du Pont is fit.

[Mattasaurus]

SA will simply not leave that many points on the field again this cup.... was it 9 , 12 points they missed from the tee today?

[stodders]

@Canes4life he won’t be

Not this team under Farrell. I don't see it. I hope i'm wrong cos they are boring as batshit.

@Mattasaurus 11 I think (1 conv and 3 pens)

Not sure about who will win it, but definitely see these two teams playing again in the final - streets above the rest.

[Dan54]

I loved every minute of that game. Just the intensity and accuracy of those two teams was bloody great to see. I know there weren't many tries or anything, but just great rugby.

[sparky]

Ireland the team to beat in this competition IMHO.

[mencey]

Well deserved. The Boks need a kicker. Great game to watch thought.
