RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
Against the odds of cards and some 50 50 calls. Amazing. Sam Cane you were the best on the park today.
And up yours to several of you pric*ks incessant in your criticism of Cane and Fozzie on the forum.
So proud of the pride and spirit shown by Fozzie and the whole squad. You just beat the best team in the world. But the job is not finished yet! -

@Joans-Town-Jones Hard to call those ones in the last minute. Thank goodness, Whitlock clearly won the turn over.
Bro, they were clear as mud. They had no problem sending AS to the bin over a fingertip and cover defence. Anyways. FUCK YES!!!!
Yeah, that Aaron Smith yellow was pretty dubious, but we won it despite the ref and his crew.
Actually, it was ironically an advantage because it gave Smith a 10 min rest.

Well done NZ. Super performance. Better team won tonight. Great defense and strong at the breakdown. No complaints.
An amazing game by them to come back and then played with their disciplined attack.
Also an amazing run of wins for this team.

Best game I've seen Sam play. McCaw-like. MoM for me by a mile.

@sparky that was one of the reasons I was happy with ALB in the mix. He's accurate af and put in some great shots when they were needed.
Coles didn't even have a chance to grub!
I've been critical of ALB. But he played huge tonight

Honestly Stan, get a commentator that can string words together ffs.
They also have NZ coverage lol
Fuck, wish I had seen that 100 minutes ago.
They have had it the whole tournament

Barnes always swallows his whistle at the end of matches. Savea had a penalty every day of the week there. Forward pack was O for awesome to a man. Cane and savea take a bow.

2/2 SH over NH so far. Come on SA ... could still be 3/4 in the Semis, despite the poor performances over the last 4 years
Kind of want France to win…
Me too
I wonder if this comes in green?

We have to give Ryan some credit, our protection of ruck ball was the best for a long time, I don’t think Ireland got that many turnover penalties but we got heaps.
The forwards were incredible tonight. Was absolutely night and day compared to the past 4 years. Don't have the cattle? Fucking bullshit.

The Roigard Christie selection did not matter in the end.
Yup, Christie and Dmac never got off the bench.
Right decision too. Keep thr old heads on
We had all the right people on at the end.
Cane had played himself to an absolute standstill. Was huge. So Dalts fresh legs with all those defensive rucks was important.

@frugby said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Can I just point out, people criticising McLeod, but look at the amount of breakdown turnovers we won. That was a result of excellent structure.
Agree. Our defence structure was awesome - even with some missed tackles by individuals.
