The better team won. Considering how many players we've got out, we did our best.

Fitzgerald, best and McGrath were great.

Hopefully Joe stays with us.

Obviously it's disappointing. But ultimately the better side one. Argentina were ruthless and it's quite scary comparing them to their last two World Cups were it was kick everything, they ran at us from everywhere and kicked very little and caused us serious issues.

We never seemed to have a plan to get into the Argentina half and create chances.

Oh woe is me :-(

Obviously disappointing, certainly didn't deserve a 23 point beating. You get the sense there was a massive momentum swing between the red card issue and the subsequent missed kick.

Fitzgerald had a massive game off the bench, Madigan does not deserve the vitriol that is certainly going to be directed at him.

Ultimately the fast start killed us

Argies were fantastic
Hopefully we hold on to Joe
English and French will be knocking

Think our reductive game plan came back to bite us somewhat, it's not very good for chasing games. Serious questions have to be asked about the defensive plan, why so passive? Almost a carbon copy of the issues we had against Wales last time out, standing back off tackles and drifting too passively.

Such a waste of talented players again.

I'm gutted. Have so enjoyed this World Cup, but we were beaten by a better team.

Support your team win lose or draw. Fair play argentina.

I encourage you to read the first 20 pages of the other thread. Hilarious stuff.

Better team won, really that simple. Blame on the ref? Meh, play the ref in front of you not how you want the ref to play.

Defensively poor all game, too narrow

LeinsterDub

The start left us too much to do. But aside from that for the majority of the game they out played Ireland in all aspects of the game expect for the line out

McGrath5

Hard luck to Ireland.

Argentina where simply the better side, best of luck to them for the rest of the competition.

Gap between the hemispheres is as great as its ever been.

A complete re-tool of NH rugby is in order, or NH is going to have a hard time ever making another World Cup Final, let alone winning one.

Rory Best was my man of the match. Played like a man possessed. What a shame that man won't get another shot at it.

I think they stole the French's soul last time out. They play like France used to, beautiful to watch. Rugby the way it's meant to be played tbh.

Well they kept going to the end. Did'nt do a la France. Argentina were certainly up for it. You just had to look at their reaction to their anthem, to know they had fire in their bellies. Will be interesting to see how the match up to Australia.

Absolutely better team won but that ref did not put in a display he'd want to remember no doubt, some shocking oversights.

Red King

I don't understand why Murray keeps booting the ball away straight to an opposition player. It doesn't seem to achieve anything?

Can somebody explain this to me? Yes I'm a rugby noob but addicted after this World Cup.

nah, not buying that "players injured battered tired blah blah"

writing was on the wall from the Italian game AND the warm up games where we apparently we're keeping something up our sleeve.

CptMackey

Argentina were outstanding but the team from 1 to 15 played poorly. Madigan, what to say. I can't say he cost us the game but his kicking from hand was soul destroying. Every time he got on the ball my heart was in my mouth.

Both kearnys were caught out badly defensively. Earls was poor.

Everybody else was 6/10 at best.

**** that's exactly who they reminded me of actually. Scary pack and a backline which doesn't exactly scare you when you give them them the eyeball test but bloodhell are they creactive, strong and fast.

Chris Henry and Rory Best had great games I thought
Obviously gutted but Argentina were very impressive, and have been throughout the tournament

The Talking Bread

AUSTRALIA v ARGENTINA going to be an epic game (hopefully).

Sad to say but semi finals contain the tournaments 4 best teams....


And yes Australia will beat Scotland....

A-Train

Calmed down a bit now, just so disappointed tbh like everybody!

Argies the better team today in general, got the rub of the green for the littles knocks and touchs! Especially with ref with the breakdown and 2nd yellow not given.

The France match killed us! Never going to recover after missing the 5 lads!

Ireland have never won a knock out match in the World Cup I think that's what is so annoying to be honest!

Fireball07

I thought Best & Murray were top class. Fitz & McGrath were very good from the bench. Too many of the rest weren't up to standard, and we were too passive in defence.

Taco Corp

No questioning Ross at scrum time but think his work around the rest of park is not enough. He served us well, no doubt but now time to look beyond him in the 6nations

the ref!?!??!? oh ffs

nice_guy80

better coached team won, with better set of players

well done Argentina

MD1990

Ireland seem to struggle when they don't have the underdogs tag. Argentina had much greater pace being lighter in the backs.
