"I started a joke, that started the whole world ......" | Ireland v New Zealand.

This loss is nothing like four years ago. It was all Ireland in that second half. Had we mauled a metre more and got over was a different story. This team has given us some fantastic days and those are the fine margins.

Anyone calling this team bottlers wouldn't last a single tackle in a game like that. Savea was absolutely exhausted in his interview.

Felt there was a penalty or two in those last phases but we shouldn't have been in that situation.

Is it too early to ask what blame has POC has in all this?

We were okay, but we kept it close without ever taking the game by the throat. I feel had we managed to go ahead we would have managed the game far better. Every time we’d bring it back to a point I’d hope they’d go again but they never did.

NZ were excellent when they needed to be. Their ability to make a try out of nothing ended up being the difference today.

For Ireland, it was a below par performance but at least not a total capitulation as in previous years.

And it annoys me greatly that 2 incredibly poor teams in England and Fiji will contest for a SF tomorrow. I hope World Rugby learn there lesson and do the draw maximum a year out.

Ah well, better team lost. If Kelleher got the ball down over the line would have been enough. Even at that, Sexton kicks that easy penalty it’s only a point at the end and a drop goal was on.

Too many set piece mistakes cost us.

That can all be fixed, we’ll be stronger in 2027!

Best team, best coach, best form, 2 opposition yellow cards, worst NZ team in a generation.

And never at any point looked like taking charge of the game.

5 letter word lads, rhymes with coke, woke and broke.

NZ had the better kicking game and played phenomenal today. Hats off to them them.

Wrecked. Considering New Zealand played 20 minutes with 14 men it was weird how Ireland's fitness fell off a cliff in the last 20 minutes.

Well that doesn't mean they are not the best Irish team ever.

Just wonder if we'll drop off considerably with Sexton gone from the side. He's a generational player and conducted most of our attacks. Am not overly disappointed, thought that it would be a coin toss beforehand. Proud of the effort of the last four years and think that we've a chance to win the tournament in future. A lot better than the last few quarter finals.

You are a rent a quote whose post count shows you live on this board.We all know we lost we all know what it means. You probably have never touched a rugby ball in your life.So give it a rest

But we didn't score the try did we? We had the chances and were considered by most to be the better team, all the bookies had us as favourites.

We didn't score when we needed to and NZ did. It's the very definition of choking.

ROG to lead the team to glory

Best stay away from internet forums if you think people can't give opinions on internet forums.

England have won lots of quarter finals in soccer.

Because other teams don't give a fock until wc nothing else matters
