I’m so impressed that we made it through that game. Holy shit, two YC, a penalty try, and the ref out his whistle away for the last 5. Brilliant.
Edit, Sam Whitelock you beauty.
Nice little bit of redemption for the lions...or was it the semi?
-
Seeing us in the semi-final again is a blast, but it's almost as good seeing Ireland with all these Kiwis and an English coach, miss out on the win record, hahaha.
What a great night, first Wales, then Ireland knocked off by teams that love to play rugby. -

Penalty try call was utter bullshit.
I didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the utter inconsistency from Branes around the ruck.
I don't care if he's a good communicator, he's a shit ref who predictably swallowed his whistle in the final minutes until Whitelock the Great forced him into making a call.
-
I’d rank Pretoria 1996, Sydney 2000 and the France-Australia 1987 semi final a bit higher, but yeah one of the great games of Rugby.

Barnes was great. Raynal would have killed us and Jack O'Peyper would have ignored the breakdown
Plus he called the Irish prop for boring in 3 times.
A clear miss was Irish prop picking ball up while under Scott Barrett’s foot at the back of the ruck
-
He's a top bloke.

Scoreboard pressure means something aye!
The fact they needed a try and Jordie had nailed that penalty to get it out to 4 points meant they couldn’t set up for a droppie.
We can’t underestimate how important Aaron Smith was at the end of the game. You can hear him just barking to our boys to get up and realign after each ruck. He would’ve had a point to prove after the YC. Thanks Nuggie, you are an AB legend.

I think Whitelock now has the record of most RWC games and he has two more to add to his total. Will be hard to beat.
At least 1 more.
Let’s not get cocky with this AB team.
You are forgetting about the 3vs4 playoff.
