Hook on the button there about not taking the 3 points with 5/6 minutes left. Happens all the time but it's still retarded.

Fantastic performance.

Kidney suitably restrained in his post match interview.

IMO one of the best sporting performances of an Irish team in my memory.

I thought the RTE panel especially Hook were a little downbeat.

Cian Healy MOTM, well deserved.

UTV/ITV been very positive about Irelands chances, saying they can go all the way

Brent Pope - "Tommy Bowe had half the crowd blowing him...".
Now that's the way to show yer gratitude.

Huge performance from Ireland, they had a few errors but in fairness they played out of their skins.
How did Australia opt to tap that last penalty rather than kick at goal or call another scrum and hope for a penalty try? Fair play to Tommy Bowe

Front row was awesome, awesome and awesome.

Big call to put Sexton at centre when Darcy went off but it worked, looking at Darcy later I get the feeling his WC could be over too, hopefully not

Well done lads, you've done yourselves and the country proud.

Paul McGrath, Richard Dunne, BOD in Paris, Front 5 in Auckland!

What summed the entire day up for me was Ferris picking up Genia and running him backwards.

Aggression. Pure manic aggression.


Now to go drink my weight in beer!

What a performance.

To all those who were calling for certain players and the management teams heads, god how wrong you were. I hope people can now start getting behind our team, trust the management team who see their players day in day out and stop the over critical comments I read here on a constant basis. Ireland quenched the best attacking team in the world. Im so proud to be Irish and proud of the Irish team.
Roll on Russia and Italy.

Great result delighted, never doubted Kidney. Generally his teams deliver when/where it matters most.

Onwards and upwards.

there will be a northern hemisphere side in the final now - that's a good thing in itself - hopefully it could be us! beat Wales, then Eng!

Pienaar saying Lawrence got some calls wrong on itv.

course we can

We're good enough to beat Russia and Italy to win the group

Wales/Samoa in the next isn't any sort of mammoth task

England/France in the semis - on our day and fired up and play like we did today and is it that hard to envisage a win???

and the New Zealand in the final - why not sure

Not surprised. They are only happy when Ireland are losing...

Or play Sexton vs. Russia so he can get his goal kicking mojo back.
