Went steaming through the middle there

The New Zealanders are scoring with a bit more ease than Ireland.

I may have to seek solace in a bottle or three...

Very good try that, well played Mo'unga

North Lower Neil

Missing that penalty is criminal at this level.

MrOneLung

Gotta fancy Ireland now after the penalty try and sin bin 

MrBurns

What a game 

Callumcafc

Incredible ending. Ireland are out. 28-24.

NZ v Argentina, first semi final next Friday.

ValleyGary

Not a huge rugby fan but that was class

guinnessaddick

Well played NZ, Ireland just didn’t take points when in their 22.

NornIrishAddick

Feck!!!

Really good game, but New Zealand deserved it.

Ireland will regret that maul forever.

Wellred

Well a top game well done NZ

Thank god for that, thought that final attack was never gonna end. How many phases was that ? 

North Lower Neil

Wow that was tense.

Quick question though - Kiwis had the ball in hand with 5 mins or so to go, inside the Irish half, then kicked it back which gave Ireland the chance.

Why not keep it?

The better team won, and had to play with 14 twice 

NornIrishAddick

I think they trusted their ability to tackle, tbh, and they were right.

North Lower Neil

*Insert joke about Irish rugby players not being able to manage even a semi here.*

Once again England left flying the flag for the home nations.

Nothing changes.

Don’t think I’ve seen a passage of play like that last one
