Rugby

Right at the start of tournament I said Ireland, not changing my mind, get through the quarters v All Black's and I think they can win it.

Unfortunately I think NZ will sneak past them today

Half time came at a good time there for Wales. Very lucky that Williams wasn't carded as well.

Any other day he’s getting a yellow there , fell off it at the end of that half , simply can’t switch off like that .

Some early missed chances from Ireland and NZ with 3 scores already

That’ll settle Ireland

That’s a huge 5 mins from Ireland to get back quickly

breath taking game this looks like the All Blacks have arrived should never right them off but all to play for 18-10

Well this is a different game than earlier

What a half of rugby

Ireland a point behind but I don’t think they’ll be that unhappy with the way the half ended.

Think NZ have just enough to keep Ireland out here

Surely Ireland take charge now, got all the momentum

They keep making silly mistakes though

Yeah, every time you think they'll kick on they are shooting themselves in the foot a bit.

Wayne Barnes is certainly trying his best for NZ

Wow how did NZ hold out there one of those games no team deserved to lose Ireland were superb but the NZ defence was just incredible

Ireland didn’t take their chances , too many silly mistakes and penalties, to not score when NZ down to 14 isn’t great - massive missed opportunity

Was a fantastic game of rugby.

Agreed enough, Ireland didn’t take their chances enough and that was the downfall.

Incredible game of rugby. The final stages were absolutely nerve-wracking. All Blacks fought like lions and Ireland I thought were just a shade off their usual high standards and didn't capitalise when NZ went a man down. Phenomenal effort from both though and great to watch. It wouldn't have taken much to swing it the other way.

Credit to both teams, huge effort all round with neither team deserving to be on the way home...Gutted for Ireland, thought this was their year.

Was a superb game, that last passage of play was unbelievable to watch. Ireland will be kicking themselves though, had their opportunities to seize control of the match but failed to take them.

Hopefully France and South Africa serve up another classic tonight.

They're a bit like the Germans used to be in footie, the All Black's just find a way to win. Great game though.

Two more good games today France v S.Africa could be special
