    Fupping hell. That was the longest 10 mins of my life. Incredible.

    Its a credit to NZ that I really thought they would score right until the last minute. Commiserations to our kiwi members. Despite that result, your team are still number 1 in the world.

    Thats history. Phenomenal. Im in bits here.

    Kept New Zealand to 0 tries...that's a serious achievement in itself

    The big game against the States is what is on the minds obviously. Its the scalp they really want.

    World Cup will be ours for sure now. This NZ team is child's play, by next year we should be able to roll them over.

    Enough of this lamenting of players who are injured.

    The team we have out today is good enough to win.

    Ireland by a score.

    Awec will show you the way.

    When was the last time this happened to NZ, when it wasn't poor conditions?

    The all blacks had a dry clean surface, and our defence didn't allow a single try.

    Amazing game, soured by the griping about the ref. Blaming him for the touch judge calling that forward pass was a particular highlight.

    All Blacks are most definitely only human like the rest of us. Roll on Japan, can't wait.

    McGrath was a lucky boy. 2 ridiculous box kicks in the last 5 that put us under needless pressure.

    That said, woooohoooooooo :D

    Look at 2013 and what happened. Barnes even warned us about the puck and go.

    They showed us so much respect in their play in the first half, shows the credit this Ireland team deserves
