    Well, this is finally really satisfying to watch.

    I'd have loved us to have met that SA team.

    We should never have lost to Japan. That was the real end of our WC

    That had to be one of the worst cover tackles I've ever seen

    Matsushima is electric but his defence is awful.

    This is exactly how we should have seen out the pool game against Japan

    Only been about 24hrs and the Irish rugby fan delusion kicks in again, Ireland would not beat either of these teams

    Mapimpi Player of the Match.

    How do we think this is looking?

    All the favourites won this weekend. Is that the first World Cup where that's happened for a while? 2015 had Argentina upsetting Ireland, in 2011 Wales beat Ireland. and in 2007 France beat NZ.

    Not sure where our scores would come from against SA they are tremendous defensively

    Would obviously have been tighter than yesterday but I'd be fairly sure they'd have beaten us with a bit to spare on form

    Do SA team not like Kolbe, maybe they can't pass off left hand.
    They've got Mapimpi on the other side.

    In 2011 I think Oz beating SA, and France beating England were upsets too?

    3 group runners up got through that year

    4 best teams in world on form in semis, top 2 in 6 nations and top 2 in rugby championship. Can't complain with that

    Buzzing for the semis

    Co-commentator on Eir talking about 6 Nations taking things out of the teams even though the Rugby Championship is the same length and requires more travel etc.

    I would say potentially the teams maybe out too much emphasis on the 6 Nations, particularly in a World Cup year.

    NZ v SA final...get your money on. Francie has spoken!

    Sadly no NH teams going beyond this stage.

    Great to see felix Jones doing well. Great shot of him Erasmus having the craic.
    Another own goal by Schmidt.

    An England win next week will really make this World Cup look absolutely horrendous from an Irish perspective

    You couldn't put a penny on that Welsh team after that, without being declared foolhardy. A lot to prove.

    Only marginally if at all in Wales's case IMO...
