The Silver Fern

Ah look lads, I’m drunk. Best of luck. You’re the best at my favourite sport. Over and out for real.

Ah lads, it’s been difficult reading this forum over the last few weeks. So many of you putting us down, spitting on us and talking shit about our players. There has been a hint of a paradigm shift in the last few years and some of you have struggled with that and when I read the comments here it reminds me of the way people used to speak about the all blacks and the way they conducted themselves in the past. It may surprise you, but in Ireland we see NZ as the ultimate rugby team, presumably the best team in any field sport, ever. You were sensational last night. You clearly hate us but well done and good luck. Your ruck work and line speed was astonishing.

I’ll be back in 4 years for the next 1/4 final exit. Over and out.

We gave you a good game. Please don’t forget it.

Dunno. Never felt offended by gobby, audacious players like Mike Philips and McCaw. Ireland needed gobby and audacious players like sexton and o’mahony too. You don’t like losing to us because of the history, but we ain’t ever winning those those games without characters just like that. Anyway to the victor the spoils. You’ll put 40+ on Argentina.

Meh. You are better than us but all the bad mouthing of sexton by all blacks fans comes across as weak to me. He pumped you a good few times and that doesn’t sit will with you because he’s not meek and self effacing like you expect us to be. But guess what. Winning is what counts and we’ve gone from never beating you to pumping you five times in ten years. Would be a sad and soppy game if we turned everything into a saddo popularity contest. Maybe have a bit of grace and realise he’s one of the best you’ve come across.

Lads you beat us by playing an astonishingly perfect game that on balance every critic described as amazing. But the NH came back to bite you. SA are our boys now. Count your winning with a teaspoon.

@antipodean
Loved mccaw. Loved winning a three test series against you in NZ too.

Every Irish person that reads this forum and reads all of the CONSTANT and incessant WHINING about the supposedly offensive and egregious and horrible personalities of Sexton and O’Mahony on this forum knows exactly what’s up too (is this a sports forum or a reality tv celebrity gossip forum??!!) .

You got pumped a whole bunch of times in the last few years by us and you’re struggling to deal with that and despite us losing you know in your hearts we’ll be back to challenge you in the future again. Fluffy bunnies doesn’t even cover the insecurity and whininess of this forum. You should be glad your team takes us more seriously than you do. good luck going forward. New Zealand and South Africa in the final again. Fair play. You’re the pinnacle of the sport we all love.
