Ah yes, I’d forgotten the Wayne Barnes experience.

Our line out has been awful all tournament. Barnes is letting them close the gap too early but you have to deal with it better

At this level it's all about decision making and NZ were better in those key moments. They had a maul at the end they should have scored but couldnt out muscle Barrett. How does that whippet keep a forward from grounding that. Sexton showed his age near the end of that, very lethargic at times when they needed line breaks. Great game but yet again, ireland come up short. Just fucking disappointed. |

I don’t think so either but when NZ are coming in from the side at every ruck it’s difficult to get a good platform. NZ were clever, they weren’t pinged for it so you keep doing it. |

Unlucky again, just can't get over that line in a WC. Thought they would get to the final this year aswell. |

Genuinely gutted for Ireland though. That team deserved more and rugby deserved more than that being just a quarter final.

BS has followed them everywhere during this WC. The hype after the SA game was over the top considering SA left 9 points on the pitch from poor kicking. That England team that won the WC like Ireland had great players in prime condition but they knew how to play to win. Winning is all that matters in WCs. |
