Whatever was said about discipline and composure at half-time, can we bottle it?

Forget the analysis, forget the X’s and O’s, forget who got selected and who didn’t. The way we defended at the end showed what it means to be an All Black. Everything on the line for a do or die match. We were focused and we played for each other.
The irish really fell off. Didn't ask many questions - just static straight running - quite disappointing.
Conor and Jonny looked like shadows of their former selvesOur defensive shape shut down their attack, and then they didn't have anywhere to go
We were really tight in the midfield.

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

Knockout games are slow games - we should know this by now. They grind rather than open up

Well done NZ. Super performance. Better team won tonight. Great defense and strong at the breakdown. No complaints.

Great game. Ireland were bloody good mate, that was an all time game
All kiwis know how you are feeling now

30+ phases after 78 minutes of playing and Ireland were at a standstill. Was great to see us not chasing the game and then defending for our RWC lives.

Match stats. I can’t ever remember the ABs conceding that many running metres and winning.
Amazing second half defence saw us home. https://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/match?gameId=596195&league=164205

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! -

@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!
