    Great win for Ireland, deserved it
    Rode our luck mind you
    I still think New Zealand will be hard to beat next year.
    Rugby is played in cycles, we always seem to bpeak quite well before a World Cup but struggle when it comes around
    Long way to go yet mind you.

    It's only a game there are far more important things to be passionate about.

    Just to add, the post match discussion is going to be minimal. There's very little to talk about in terms of performances. 1-23 were excellent.

    It's great when you consider

    The injuries we had

    The ruled out try

    The mistakes in the line-out

    Some very uncharacteristic mistakes from the All blacks today. Both Reid and Retallick made a number of handling errors.

    thats the pressure form ireland, made NZ look ordinary

    Loved what was said there in the interview, he played along side his best friends. I think alot of teams, players and managers need to realise, buy/selling players is all well and good, the guys need to gel with each other and have each others backs. Really like that when he said it.

    CJ Stander speaks: “It was tiring,” he says, in an accent I can’t quite place. Is he from Cork? Or one of the Standers from Kerry, perhaps? It’s difficult to tell. “But you can’t get tired with this noise behind you. We said we were going to work in this November series for the Six Nations and the World Cup.”

    England hurts..........

    Think the 2 we lost near the end, was that not down to the AB's just reading the call, just getting up ahead of the Irish jumper?

    Then why are you posting here......

    Leave us plebiscites to our win and you go off and do whatever you find is fun.

    Self fellatio, perhaps.

    Waiting for sky sports to claim that England made NZ tired for today's game, or something like that.

    Rugby is a sport only played by a handful of nations, that is a fact.

    I used to watch rugby years ago and Ireland less conditioned and fit for the hard games.
    They would be worn out in the last 20 minutes but that was some match they held off NZ to the end physically.
