Sounds like Brer O’Keefe says:

There it is. Where is it. No, hasn’t come out.

He said use it, they didn't, turn over. Right call

@taniwharugby It’s the World Cup success recipe, though, isn’t it? Ball in hand a distant disadvantage.

[Mattasaurus]

Discipline has been awesome from both teams. No cards - not even a warning

BOK reffed very well - one of his best i think. (I genuinely feel an English or French ref would have made this a very different game)

Cracking game as a neutral - ( my dislike of Sexton makes me want him to lose)

Ireland celebrating like they just won the cup - long way to go yet...... Goal kicking was the difference for me.

16th straight win for Ireland.

Impressive considering who they have beaten in that streak also.

[Tim]

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.

[game_film]

@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.

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