All Blacks will win the world cup.

Still saying France myself.

Ireland the better side but far too many mistakes for such a big game.

France's tournament to lose for me

Ireland have thrown this away now, clearly the better side and just not able to get there

Got to say, NZ defence was very good, and Ireland lineout very poor, there were options and moments in game, but it wasn't to be. France and SA crush this NZ side. NZ will annihilate Argentina. Bloodbath stuff.

That game should have been a final.. sport at its apotheosis...wonderful wonderful spectacle

They didnt let you down, they played crap for 60% of that game and lost by a score.

[Poor language removed] happens

I don’t know, it just feels like this was our golden generation and losing in another quarter final feels so cruel

A noble effort but that poor start killed them.

Kicking it away, Hansen in particular in the final 22 trying to force tries cost them. Sexton remaining on when he couldn't move or tackle.
Over 400ms more made, two yellow cards no excuses as an Irish lad should know
"points win games, take your points and the goals will come"

I feel genuinely broken mate. I’m used to Everton letting me down, but this is a different level of pain

Bad start and too many errors cost us, fine margins but massive opportunity missed

Ireland the better side but far too many mistakes for such a big game.

We weren't tonight, NZ played their best game in about 3 years, we played one of our worst.

There's no choking there, we could've been well beaten by HT but they kept pluggin away. NZ were just very good.

Barnes let them away with murder at times but thats what happens.

BTW Sexton looked to be walking for the last 30 mins.

Englands got this…..

South Africa for me and quite comfortably as well.

I thought they looked much better than Ireland when they met and I just don’t see anyone getting close to them now we’re down to winner takes all.

I reckon they’ll beat NZ by 20 points if that’s the final (which I think it will be now).

Most of that squad is around 27ish, theres another WC there

Argies have played against NZ far more than any northern hemisphere team, they will know enough not to get wiped out, you can't rule anyone out at the semi's

Expect Fiji to complete the hatrick
