Wow Ireland have been great. SA physical reputation not bothering the greens at all and they look the far superior side. C'mon Ireland from this wallabies supporter.

Tough old battle Well done Ireland

Super strong panel great manager great supporters great anthem and above all great heart in this team monsters

The world hello hello

Terrific result yesterday, but was that Ireland’s final? Saffers left 11 points out there, 8 of them relatively easy ones. An absolutely brutal game.

Can see these two meeting again in the semi-final, though not a given against the hosts and the All Blacks.

Still can’t get my head around why the best four teams are in one half of the draw and all the crud in the other though.

They can’t meet in the semi final

IRE vNZ

Fra v SA

England v Fiji / Aus maybe Wales?

Argentina v Fiji / Aus probably Wales

Semi Final possibly imho IRE ( NZ ) v Bye Fiji / Wales / Aus / Arg

SA  or FRA v Englund

They can’t meet in the semi final

Thanks for that. I’d heard in more than one outlet that the top half and bottom half were separate, but you’re correct. Could be the final though.

Your welcome fink

I would be astonished if it wasn’t the final

There should be two easy semi finals!

Not sure about easy whispering

Not for us son

IRE / NZ v Wales  / ARG

SA / FRA v Engerland

Where is your money?

Like I said the only chance we have is that the occasion gets to the better team and if develops into a massive arm wrestle. Nog saying we are bigger and stronger but that side of the draw have the better rugby players. We have no chance playing rugby against them. I am not saying wd ard bigger and stronger either but strange things can happen.

Personally taking allegiance out of it I would love to see a Ireland v France Final or a brutal Ireland v SA

My money is on the brutal final but wouldn’t have a clue who would win.

It's a very tantalising semi final line up.

Of the top guns I'd pick France as the least likely potential winner and it's take your pick out of the other three. Just my thoughts which could easily come back to haunt me later.

England effectively could be in the Semis but I struggle to see us getting past a proper side

Ireland get through that possible match up vs NZ in the quarters it might be hard to stop them

Have been strongly against England for ages but the forwards have been ok so far; the set pieces of the top 3 teams haven't been functioning well. With a pedantic ref what's the possibility of another couple of nine three pointers ?

That is the beauty / ugliness of Rugby

The 2 quarter finals are mouth watering entres

Thd / semi’s will be steak and chips

And the final most likely a full stodgy affair that we just cannot help but have.

I just want France to win for the good of the game

Yes I agree W.D. with your sentiments and I'm trying to remain focused and impartial from a punting perspective but...Ireland winning would be absolutely magnificent.

Agree, would be great if Ireland could win the World Cup. I just get the feeling they will come up short.

Huge respect for Scotland  great team against lowe aki  Hanson ringrose sexton Doris porter o Mahoney  van Der flier Keenan henshaw  Gibson park earls Sheehan Henderson herring furlong great stadium Aviva mark 2 great fans,a gentleman of a manager Farrell a truly superb backroom staff each and every one especially catt superb anthem  Ireland's call   bring it on no fear

Next up the all blacks into the Irish cauldron of Paris holds no fear whatsoever monster Irish team epic pack hugely skilful  players across the park I have no worries  about this Irish team  New Zealand caught in the headlights of a barnstorming start from Ireland bring it on

Mad the way the draw worked. A poor England side has an easier draw. It's almost as though those incomer think this is football. Anyhow at least the current buns are out...

* in charge

No worries again here the skill set of the Irish players is off the scale across the park no problem in taking care of the all blacks  extremely well disciplined  and Bundee aki is worth 3 players against all blacks  titans of strength in the rucks  furlong Henderson porter o Mahoney van der flier Beirne  Doris  great anthem  great fans great manager  home stadium Paris for us it’s a win from me  the thread rolls on

hilaryjaane if they lost tonight perhaps you could take off those green tinted specs until the 6 nations at least.

obviously you've no worries mind

Unwavering support awesome team our night again and the guys to front up and dominate all blacks can’t wait

All English refereeing panel in an Ireland match. What could possibly go wrong?

Ffs.

Never in
DOUBT
tHE all
blacks

pleasing.

The anthem is absolute bow lucks

England left to carry the standard!

Ireland quarter final chokers.

Clinical finishing by the All Blacks, but the Irish should still had chance's to win. Had a man advantage for 20 mins but kept going for the big play rather than being patient. Pressure of occasion and great defensive performance by AB's won the day. Hope I'm wrong but NZ v SA final is looking on the cards. France only serious opposition now !

I think SA v NZ would be a pretty tough final, ferocious.

I am a romantic and hope France persevere but would certainly not bet on it.

I think Rugby Union needs a SA / NZ straightener but sport needs France in the final.

Strange thing to say , why does sport needs France in the final .Might be your opinion but I'm not sure sport would agree!! Unless of course you are French....

Sport engages people. A nation and the World. It’s a great story and they are also thd most attractive dynamic team who should provide exciting rugby as opposed to a stressful arm wrestle, enjoyable though that can be if you don’t have skin in the game.

at least they've shut up hilaryjane's non stop green drivel/ love fest

well until the 6 nations

Are you not entertained H,L and C?

Yes , but its not only your French friends...

I must admit that on Saturday night, I wondered if all four semi finalists would be Southern hemisphere. Sunday redressed the balance a bit with England the only European team left.

Good team ireland
