    This could get ugly, we're gonna have to take risks and they'll probably rip us apart. They're absolutely sensational though. Keeping that ball in play when Sexton was trying to find touch just summed it up.

    At the same time we're committing too many errors in a game where we'd need to be perfect to stand a chance.

    All Blacks are forcing some of the errors but their ball in hand play is just sensational to watch. Ireland aren’t helping themselves but the pressure they are under is crazy.

    Ireland peaked too early. Had this been a year ago I think we'd be seeing a different game.

    Doesn't help that the ABs have a week extra rest.

    I dunno I think New Zealand tend to just get the better of these types of games regardless, even if we're not helping ourselves in this one. As good as we were, New Zealand are a step up from anything we face in the six nations. And world cup New Zealand are a step up from the New Zealand we'd face in the Autumn internationals too.

    The Kiwis are ridiculously strong here..

    So cool..

    Got to say England swamped the Aussies earlier. Nullified their attacking threat and exposed the Aussies weaknesses from their 22 also. Aussies looked hurried and nervous under pressure..

    Hopefully the Kiwis do a number on them next..

    Time to start thinking about the semi now for the All Blacks.

    3 times Ireland have not found touch from penalties, that’s criminal against any team but to do it against New Zealand. Hope they get at least a try.

    France blew it,just blew it. Not good for this sport as the anti Rugby go through.
    The good news is now South Africa know it is entirely in their hands to get to the final.

    All Blacks v South Africa final come on with 2 Semi final massacres.
