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

reg114

Spirit and passion are not enough to beat the All Blacks. We had both married with quality play by players at the top of their game last year. 2019 has been a collapse on form. Sexton not kicking to touch a few moments ago is unforgivable. We just have looked lethargic all this year. Joe has failed to evolve our game. Now don't get me wrong he is a legend for what he's done for Ireland but 2019 has been painful to watch.

Earls has been shocking

He has to cover qtr of the pitch because Henshaw and Ringrose are getting sucked into the center.

It's New Zealand's power and pace that is causing this. We needed them to have an off day. Unfortunately they are on form.

There's a long way to go in this game, but boy that's an awful start

Loafing Oaf

That NZ hooker is a waif compared to most top-level forwards these days...

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

Exactly the only things the players are at fault is for the blind faith. I feel sorry for them..

Luckily our assistant is the new coach...

It's the hope that gets you. However, today should come as no surprise we have been poor for a long time

Fecking hell.

Right. Back to bed for me

Lads!!

Ireland look like a team who view that a pass before contact is a tactical revolution. Offering nothing. NZ are light-years ahead in their play.

**** me

Just lethal from New Zealand.

AB look fresh and fit as Ireland take a hammering if they don't keep it up plus 65 mins onwards when team gets tired.

Professor Genius

The Schmidt apologists should hang their heads in shame. We’re an embarrassment

Harry Palmr

An utter shambles. Simple errors all over the shop.

Shocker by Sexton. He has literally thrown/kicked the game away.

troyzer

Well, that's that.

TV off

UnknownSpecies

3 mistakes, 3 tries. They are lethal.

touts

What the **** were Sexton and Kearney doing????

c.p.w.g.w

Absolutely embarrassing from Sexton & Kearney...game over

Niallof9

Schmidt is to blame this isn’t on the players. Irfu need to review Farrell appointment

Squidgy Black

This is heart breaking stuff.

Palmach

Game over.

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

You’re insufferable.

No bottle job here. NZ just on a different planet to Ireland and they will walk this World Cup. Disappointing end for Joe and Rory Best.

Ffs, thread has gone to pure ****e already with this crap.

Luckily this is not a thread where you only can say nice things. Can you seriously say the team are good. I would say something if we were playing well and losing but it is a crap show

MadYaker

Nidge doing his best for us here

NIMAN

How were we ever above the AB in the world rankings.

Shows they count for nothing.

yourdeadwright

Ireland are awful school boy stuff , its a bottle job unforced erros

BBDBB

All over, pity

A-Train

Terrible just terrible. We might as well give up going to world cups

No way I'll stay watching this as it's going... too painful.

Hopefully Farrells taking note as we need a total overhaul in our approach.

edgecutter

Christ, that was pathetic from Kearney

whatawaster

Who would have thought 6 years ago that Joe Schmidt would become possibly the poorest attack coach in international rugby

Shocking stuff

Masters of our destruction again when it matters.

Very true. The bottle job was against Japan.

Strazdas

I think this is mainly a bad Irish performance

NZ are playing superbly but we are still bad

Itssoeasy

Nigel Owens trying his best but the try is good.

Mokuba

Wonder how many more points Sexton is planning to give them today.

Everything 50/50 going NZ's way, which really isn't what you want.

On kearney, gave me no option

Burkie1203

We have no functioning backrow on the pitch

Vicxas

This would make you sick to your stomach

facehugger99

This could be 50 or 60 points today.

Gidea

Over with 50 minutes to play. Ireland have no awnsers here and we dont look like we have a score in us. A whitewash in a quater final..
