@Billy-Tell said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
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.
There three or four in that last 2 mins he wouldn't call. What really impressed me was they all took a step back from the ruck to protect the offside line yet still kept knocking them back. The most impressive was seeing Jonny Loudmouth SEXTON running his bitch slapper at the end.

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.
To be fair, I think most of us have said we have the cattle but not consistently for 80 mins.

The best bit was watching that Irish attack capitulate to just 3 guys and through the hands in the last 15. We fucked up JGP
They were robotic on attack. Will have to watch again but JB & Reiko seemed to be closing down the outside space really well.

Just watched the last 5 minutes again this time with the NZ commentators.
When ALB landed that hit!

Barnes was great. Raynal would have killed us and Jack O'Peyper would have ignored the breakdown
Thought so too. Was having nothing to do with Ireland's whinging game

Best game since 2000 Bledisloe?
There can’t be many better performances by a losing side than that by Ireland.

Penalty try call was utter bullshit.
It was spot on
yeah, textbook, Codie dragging the maul down with him. Lineout steal nearly came off, though.
Commend Barnes for seeing through Porter clearly stepping out and driving in and penalising him for it. NZ set piece was brilliant.

Sexton looked out on his feet. No wrap arounds to create the extra man in attack.
