Rugby World Cup 2023

[Elpenor]

Sexton must be injured he’s barely moving

 

[Steel Icarus]

Such an effort but not quite enough tonight

 

[Elpenor]

Oh Ireland

 

[A380]

Fuck me.

 

[Bingoman]

That was a crazy ending

 

[two sheds]

Amazing last 5 minutes shame

 

[starfish]

ABs gonna AB. But that was a game & a fucking half.

 

[planetgeli]

Good game. But so much for this.

The Breakdown | Northern powerhouses aim to shut south out of World Cup semi-finals

Each quarter-final pits a northern hemisphere group winner against a runner-up from the southern hemisphere. Could a historic lockout be made in France this weekend?

well fuck sake

good game NZ out played us

 

[Elpenor]

A great defensive set by New Zealand at the end. They dominated the breakdown and if you do that you’ll rarely fail to win.

Ireland left at least 10 points out there; some poor decision making about kicking at goal / corner and Porter was a liability.

 

[flypanam]

We played in the last 5 mins how we should have started the first ten.

 

[Elpenor]

With that said if you’re never ahead in a close game that’s also down to the team that beat you

 

[Rebelda]

Bollocks I thought there was going to be a magical finish for a minute there.

 

[Cerberus]

Incredible last 5 mins. Crying shame for Ireland, really feel for them.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Sexton can't accept it.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Just hugely disappointing really, thought we would win tonight but we were always chasing the game despite their yellows. Lacked composure.

 

[Ax^]

We played in the last 5 mins how we should have started the first ten.

ffs why did we not just go threw the phases thought the game

the Gaelic football stuff is great but not against the fucking all blacks

 

[Ax^]

Sexton can't accept it.

can you blame him

 

[Steel Icarus]

Could have - maybe should have - had semis of all Northern Hemisphere teams. Neither who've played has got through so far.

 

[gawkrodger]

Could have - maybe should have - had semis of all Northern Hemisphere teams. Neither who've played has got through so far.

And so far both winners of their groups have gone out

 

[Rebelda]

Sexton can't accept it.

That's his last ever game probably

 

[Ax^]

last game for a generation of the great Irish team ever being building to it for 15 years and we fuck.it up

ffs gutted but we did not deserve to win tonight

looked overwhelmed by the occasion throughout

 

[Elpenor]

And so far both winners of their groups have gone out

Doesn’t augur well for tomorrow

 

[Elpenor]

Someone needs to update the Ireland sponsored by viagra meme to say 2027

(Too soon probably)

 

[flypanam]

Fuck it I’m damn fucking proud of the team, we played badly and we could have won. Our own errors beat us.

Damn proud.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Brian O'Driscoll's glasses are terrible

 

[sleaterkinney]

Have stuff to do tomorrow so can’t get pissed, probably just as well.

I think you're doing a slight disservice to the ABs tbf. They were superb.

 

[iona]

What was the final score please?

I'm on a coach next to someone with no phone signal who wants to know..

 

[Ax^]

no disservice they have history of the big occasion and rightly so

we just folded under the pressure again :/
