Loved Eddie saying post match of the first quarter that he was hoping it would be the ABs he would be facing in the semi
That is pure gold. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

Many thanks to @Snowy for providing score updates throughout - much appreciated bro.
You have no idea how much I drank today. There would have been no point in even trying to give scores. Everybody I have ever met was hiding from me.

What a wonderful endorsement of just head down and play rugby.
Against a team constantly slowing and whining and whining some more ( at 41-14!), and Owens refereeing the occasion not the game, the way we kept disciplined and shrugged off the setbacks was a source of great pride.
Fantastic performance and hopefully the black machine isn't quite optimally tuned just yet.
Happy, and impressed

More a question than a statement, but you have to wonder whether this win puts the Japanese win over Ireland into perspective. Are the Japanese really that good, or were Ireland (and Scotland) just shit? Or a bit of both?
Weird question. They can only play who’s in front of them, and they played well.
They are clearly in that next rung down, with teams like Scotland and Ireland, Samoa etc.
Nobody has said anything else, they most likely will get pumped by the Boks
Of course they will get pumped. Have you seen that Bok side. They have giant Goliath locks, 150kg mobile props, bodybuilder like loosies, goal kicking genius, and sub 10.5s/100m outside backs.

A few randoms
Its going to be tougher mentally for the next match to play like that. Massive pysch energy gone into that.
Crazy that a forward didnt get the MOM
Read was the MOM.
The scoreline was flattering to Ireland why do refs feel the need to favour the underdog.
The M Todd decision was just wrong
Pleased for Todd getting that try
Laulalas made a big difference
First five was never Beaudens best position, its obvious.
I thought before the game this team was more talented than 2011 or 2015 -

I'm boycotting any MOTM thread - unless I get 23 votes.
You the real MVP

McCaw, Carter GOATs
Nonu-Smith - GOAT Midfield combination with Nonu arguably being the GOAT of all NZ 12s
Kev and Myth - all time great ABs -
This was the most appalling match Nigel Owens has refereed....at least three yellows missed by head high and neck rolls by the Irish and the penalty try was absurd...Todd was hemmed in there against the post by an Irish player and couldn't get away even if he tried...lucky that wasn't a decision that could've effected the out come of the match. The world's best Ref?????

We won 46-14, ref had nothing to do with it.
And yes, the worlds best ref.

I think he's suggesting that we'd have won by more if not for Nige's terrible refereeing

Quick question - how many tries did Ireland's starting wingers score over the tournament?
