It's almost time to remove our Ireland hats, and put on our Anyone But England hats.

Hope we can create one last opportunity but it looks a big ask.

I’ll be roasted for this but we’ve bottled it tonight. Too nervous, too many mistakes, not enough composure. NZ haven’t been wonderful but we’ve not been able to capitalise, even playing a quarter of the game against 14. No. 1 in the world rankings, 6 nations etc is all very well but how can we be considered a strong team if we can’t ever get beyond a WC quarter final.

NZ trying to strangle the life out of it, looks like they've done enough here.

Ireland just not good enough.
Maybe they could beat 14AB's but they cant beat a full team of them.

Very very little between teams. Ultimately penalties deciding this

Over and out. Can’t turn up against NZ without a line out or scrum and expect to win.

Best team won. Despite Wayne Barnes being on our side.
Mack Hansen wasn't fit. Should never have started.

Andrew Porter had a nightmare
