RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

[gt12]

Mr Peter O’Mahoney, Sam Cane may be a shit Richie McCaw, but he is going to a semi final at the WC.

MOTM

I don’t mind if we don’t win the World Cup from here. That was our final. The Irish were the best team in the world. We stopped their winning streak. We were underdogs. We played 20 mins with only 14 men. This win was bigger than a final I reckon. Our best performance in four years. Just epic

Yeah nah. I'll go postal if they lose to Cheika and co.

[Bones]

Sorry I fucked up the score guys. Had it until Taylor fucked me over.

Where has that Sam Cane been all my life? Unlucky to not be mom.

Brilliant control from Mounga.

Wound back the clock Beauds.

Forwards unbelievable.

Christie played his best game in black, he should be proud.

How about that rock solid midfield.

REDEMPTION

We have Argentina, and either SA who we know well, or the French with a monkey on their back

[Victor Meldrew]

@chimoaus

Yeah, he and the forwards got their shit together in the last few weeks. Impressive - particularly the breakdown

In fact kudos to all the coaching staff. Our D in the last 20 minutes was unbelievably good as was the headspace stuff.

moment of the game for me was when Jordie held the Irish maul up over the line. Won the game right there

He had a massive game.

Who didn't?

yep. Even the likely suspects that the Fern like get stuck into, all did well.

Beaudie’s speed came through.

Fainga’anuku work at the ruck and link play.

Ioane defended like a demon

ALB has a hard shoulder off the bench

The two young props didn’t do anything dumb.

Closest I’ve ever come to crying at a final whistle.

Hold on, did Cane not win MOTM?

[Godder]

We won! And Wayne Barnes called a penalty for us at the end of an All Black quarterfinal!

ignore it, it's as bad as the ratings made up in the media. This place gets better assessments (when people don't get provincial one eye going)

[Bones]

Just got this from one of the fellas. About sums it up.

@nzzp

Who got it?

That was 2011 style tense

[Damo]

Who was MOTM if not Cane? Savea I guess the other option.

I thought Barnes was quite good.

Only bad decision was the non PK to Savea. Whitelock had clearly rolled away and Savea was right on the ball correctly.

@antipodean said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:

Cane and Jordie more deserving IMO

I really don't think any of them give a fuck, TBH. Least of all Cane.

[Tordah]

the first try coming off a Beauden chip kick, Cane playing brilliantly and Foster not bottling it with pre-planned subs shows what fucking idiots us Ferners all are

[Bones]

@gt12 Ardie, so not far off

[gt12]

@Bones

Top three with Jordie so not a terrible choice

[BerniesCorner]

TBH some of those up n unders are shite. Give the ball away
