New Zealand vs Ireland RWC Quarter Final,19th October 2019 match thread.

May as well put Carberry on for the experience. Sexton needs to move off the stage.

Owens is giving absolutely nothing.

White lock was in on the side on Stander. Nige looking at it.

Can't see us getting past 9 pts by full time.

Well this looking like a disastrous end for Schmidt.

Earls has been shocking

Thus is Earls in these games. Be decent in defence positionally, but still a bit lightweight in contact and will do very little in attack

Charles Leclerc

Forward again from Smith but lets just play on eh Nigel.

Niallof9

We have no discernible game plan.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Jesus Owens is getting everything wrong.

Irish sports team... within touching distance... enough talent... but... FÛCK IT UP... “sure didn’t we do great to get this far”. They’ll probably put them on a fûcking bus through the city like they did for the soccer team in ‘90’ for getting to a quarter final.

I can guarantee that will not happen.

Casuals and a heap of posters delighted we’re losing so they can post their hostilities about the team...

Owens is at Peyper levels for being a **** ref. Just makes up calls half the time. Can't stand him

ErnestBorgnine

This has the makings of a 50 point defeat.

Niallof9

Henshaw s body language looks awful get him off

tayto lover

There’s a blind eye being shown to forward passes today.

Snow Garden

NZ want it more. Seriously organised too. They are stretching us constantly.

Look, they're not bottling anything, there was always the hope after what we done in the past against them, but if we're honest, since england hammered us in the warm up, we've done nothing to suggest we would be capable of beating NZ today

Lenehan is making this all the worse.

Brought on himself. It’s not like its come out of the blue.

Feel bad for the thousands who spend thousands to head over to watch the AB murder us.

New Zealand are just phenomenonal with the basics. Bread and butter rugby.

Strazdas

Must be desperate stuff for the Irish fans in the arena....we're not even giving them a crumb of comfort to cheer

Gwynplaine

The fella with the mullet is their superpower

daheff

nz have so many types of play.... Through the forwards, out wide, off loads..... we've nothing

It’s the overly happy (because we’re losing) couch slobs using this to slag the lads that I was addressing.

Ewan McKenna brigade!

Yup. Will be inundated before full time. Saddo's who enjoy other people's disappointed.

Will leave it there, chat to ye all in a few weeks, hope Ireland pull a Leinster in the second half.

friendlyfun

Blame the ref !!haha ****

It's like 40 NZ players on the pitch right now

Most are event junkies who can afford the pain!!

Niallof9

Nothing to do with want. We look unfit, underpowered ( for humidity see bundee) clueless, nervous. Utter disaster that’s been coming. Selection wrong and tactics wrong as has been pointed out for ages. Sickened

It was lost in the cluster**** of japan

Two superb tackles. I don't see how you can pick on Earls.

I don't mind losing to NZ (great side) but not to even show up in the game is horrible to watch

Dr. Bre

Next try massive NZ get it’s over . If Ireland then hope there is

randomname2005

Defense is one thing, but holding the ball is another. Mixed performance, but we need everyone at 100% today.

Now some of you dreamers on here saying Ireland would win. Good to get a reality check tbh. We are terrible.

GreeBo

Lads this looks like it's going to be painful enough without every second post bitching about Owens.
Any chance we can give it a rest for an hour?

Give out about tactics, but the Irish players have been beyond thick this half. Sexton with a terrible kick and others knocking it on without much pressure. Missed tackles happening now as I type.

You’re bang on, Yoda.

Gidea

Missing simple tackles, we've been awful with basic stuff

eigrod

They’re throwing us around like rag dolls.

Get Murray off, kicking it straight back to them every time. Compare his use of the ball with Smith.

fitz

No ground made, but advantage over. F*ck off, Nigel.

Gidea

Late on sexton and nothing...

Mantis Toboggan

These stone age tactics from Joe of kicking it back to them is suicidal stuff.

Agree. This talk of something up Schmidt's sleeve was absolute rubbish

Larbre34

So, what's everyone having for lunch?

Utopia Parkway

Ireland look shattered already.

FINALLY!


in at the side called.

What do you expect though? AB on top, right order, easy for him.

Realistically this team in decline this past year and Joe went back to them again.
