Im Argentino and for us the 99 worldcup and that particular game against Ireland was historic for us and made a big change in rubgy here. A lot of people start playing the game and joining clubs here wich wasn´t popular. A lot of people of that squad came from amateurs teams and this performance open the doors to more players to develop in professional leagues teams and profesional rugby countrys. I would say that 2007 give us even more of a pump here but without that 99 triumph i don´t know if rugby would have grown enough to reach that 2007 performance wich was crucial to the possibility to play an international competition like the Rugbt championship today. That was a match impossible to forget from begining to the unnerving end. Hope you all know the amount of respect we have for the irish team and what it meant for us and the tears of joy we had to be able to win that game against a world class opponent. Despite the lost, you should know how important you are and the amount of respect we have for Ireland.
Thanks mate I think I can speak for most Irish rugby fans and say the feeling is mutal. We have huge and well earned respect for Puma rugby and personally for me, watching you guys beat the AB's for the first time, with all the covid related inactivity the Pumas had to endure leading up to it was one of rugby's great stories and probably the greatest level off happiness I've personally felt watching a different nation to my own win at sport! Shout out to Japan beating the Boks too (not so much beating us though 😂)
@@zimzimma5688 Japan beating the boks was the best thing that happened to the boks. They immediately assessed their error and changed the way they played to come back as the world champions.
That was the first game of rugby i ever watched, i've had a healthy fear of us playing Argentina ever since. It was such a crazy ending to the match, one meter short every time :( Good luck to ya'll in the WC... un'ess you're playing us in the SF :P
Thanks for those kind words it means a lot. Love your country a lot. Hope we don´t get own by Japan either next match, we didn´t play well so far and hope we wake up. @@zimzimma5688
G'day mate, kiwi here. Great summary of Irelands world cup performances. As much as you're not feeling overly confident about playing NZ in the quarters, we aren't feeling overly confident about playing you guys either. Should be a great battle and may the best team win (not some dodgy ref call). Anywho, if you guys do knock us out, I'll be throwing my support behind you guys as I believe your consistency over the last few years deserves the silverware. Good luck bro 🤗
@andredelamare6290 what complete garbage, I’m a kiwi and very confident heading into the quarter finals. Stop saying ‘we’ when spouting your ‘own’ views. You’re going down paddies!!
Kiwi here, and relieved we won today but sad for Ireland. They are a quality team and I've been so happy to see how much they have improved since the 90s. I hope next time they make it to the semis or further, as they are overdue that success. If they'd won today, I'd be cheering them on hoping for them to win the tournament. From what I understand, largely based on what Gregor Townsend said, they have some amazing talent coming through and he expected them to dominate world rugby for the next 5-10 years. The groundwork is certainly there so let's see what they can do!
Thanks for the respect and congratulations on the win. That All blacks performance was stellar in every aspect of the game. I am definitely rooting for you guys to win a 4th and become the greatest of all time. 🇮🇪🤝🇳🇿
Everyone talks about Ireland winning the World Cup one day but I think if any nation deserves a WC it’s France they’re always competing at the World Cup they’ve made a few finals but never won I feel sorry for them
@@taraishot100As an Irish person I agree, we have been at the top table for a relatively short time but France have been competitive for much longer and have had some great teams. I think people talk about Ireland a lot because of their transformation from underdogs to a team that can regularly beat the best in the world
As a New Zealander it's great to see the gap between us and the rest of the world getting smaller. That Quarter Final was brilliant and heartbreaking. All sport is better when it's contested like that. Honestly I had been cheering on Ireland from the get-go. I remember vividly the 2016 Ireland v NZ game in Chicago (of all places), Soldier's Field. I had relatives living there, Americans who knew nothing of the game who I convinced to watch the game. It was a hectic and exciting match which they very much enjoyed. The significance of Ireland's win was lost on them...but I managed to impart the gravitas; 110 years; 28 tests. This was the first time Ireland had ever won. We've met 8 times since. You've won 4 🍀
I remember having unbearable butterflies from excitement in anticipation of the 2011 quarter final. I ended up missing most of the game as I had turned off my alarm clock by accident. While sleeping I had a terrible nightmare Ireland were being beaten by the Welsh. Then I woke up and realised with enormous relief that it was just a horrible nightmare. Then I turned on the TV and realised it was a nightmare come true. Argentina for me was another heartbreaker. I remember them flooding our wings with players and offloads which we couldn't deal with. I remember being in the pub, as was natural for an irish child of the time, watching the 1991 quarterfinal. The whole pub went absolutely silent in dismay when Lynagh went over our line. Tbh the way New Zealand destroyed Italy I am bracing myself for more heartache. No way would we have put 96 points on Italy.
With all due respect Italy never showed up and downed tools after 20 mins,Italy ran France close in the 6N this year...as well as running us close aswell ! We are definitely in the heads of the AB's,notcsaying it will be a walk over but we have the blueprint to beat them....here's to the semis 😂
The reason Italy lost so heavily to the ABs is because they played right into their system. The ABs like to force an attacking team wide and compete at the breakdown, they've been doing this for 10 years. Italy love to throw it out wide. Not to mention the Italians seemed to give up after 20 minutes. Ireland will have done their homework and I don't think Ireland have too much to worry about from that game.
As an AB supporter, I honestly believe this will be your year. This Irish team was the first to beat nz in a series on their home ground, they’re on a 16 match winning streak, have the fastest ruck speeds and defensively strong, perfect for a World Cup.
@@whokilledjr3719while you could be very well correct I believe it could still be our year but regardless of the puff piece pushed out by nzr+ I still don't believe there is cohesion in our all blacks setup going on for 4/5 years now..I think it's all lip service and a mistake was made at the close of 2019 (but I'm from Canterbury so I think most of us down here feel this way) Ireland deserve the respect they've earned and could go all the way and while that would mean most likely losing to them in the qtrs I would back them for the remainder in that scenario. For me......and some other teams fans can and will take this as an excuse if they want but I really don't like the way the game is reffed these days or the amount of gamesmanship going on. But tbf though it may just point to our coaching staffs incapability (or more probably stubbornness) to draw up plans and adapt to the current interpretations and applications of the rule book along with a wishy washy selection dilemma
As a Springbok fan watching this video what I see is a team that have improved every year over 36 years. What a story! I love Irish rugby and still, every now and again, have a moment of deep sadness, nearly shock, when I realise that I won't see Brian O'Discoll on a rugby pitch again.
After watching this, it occurred to me that the Irish have had the team to make semis since 07 and each team gets stronger as time goes on. - 87: Needed to top the pool to have a realistic chance at the semis. - 91: Did as well as could have been expected and was close to the second biggest upset of the tournament. - 95: Agree - did well to make it out of the pool. - 99: Should have made the QFs but the beginning of a tier 1 team was made that day after always threatening to do so for so for years. - 03: Survived the pool. - 07: Same as 99 but top tier confimred. - 11: Not the best Irish WC team but the best chance of making the semis. Had the team to beat a very good Welsh side and face an erratic French team. - 15: Unlucky with injuries but should have won that QF. - 19: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. - 23: Heartbreaking. Deserved to be a semi-finalists. As did all teams from that side of the draw. Thanks for the great vid.
Great video. As a Kiwi I'm really hoping we play you in the 1/4s because Ireland's number one ranking is totally deserved and I really want to see where we are at in comparison, this is the best way. If Ireland win then I feel the cup is there for the taking and once again, it would be totally deserved. If we win that 1/4 final then it will set us up for a great shot at it as well. Big, big game.
I agree. There are still some weird scenarios where the Boks could end up leaving the pool in first place but I think and Ireland v All Blacks game would be amazing to watch. Also it leaves us facing the highly unpredictable French which makes me super nervous. But then I would be super nervous if we were playing the ABs too! Good luck to all the teams.
As a South African I of course want the Springboks to win back to back RWC. The game against Ireland was fantastic. I think Foster under plays how tough this game was. Irish fans were fantastic after their win. I believe that Ireland has shown the world that they can defend & attack to best the best teams in the world. I am sure they will get to the quarters. Both Ireland & Springboks must believe that they can beat the “haka” mentality of the All Blacks. Outside of the Springboks I hope Ireland wins the RWC2023, good luck.
What exactly is "haka mentality" - and (how) does it differ from the attitude other teams bring to the field? Even under the most woeful AB's coach in recent history, and an incompetent rugby union rife with cronyism, the AB's still have a decent chance of beating the Irish, who, as this video shows, can't seem to put it all together at RWC's - the AB's have won 3 so maybe the haka has some value after all...
@@tiomiguel999 I believe that the haka definitely benefits the AB. @Springboks have only won the series against the @AllBlacks once in NZ when they performed the Nhlamba Zulu war cry. A “haka mentality” is one of entitlement - we have a right to perform the haka, we have the right to beat you, we are the best team in the world and will become RWC champions. Other teams must develop this mindset of entitlement - @Springboks will win the RWC or @Ireland will win the RWC
@@202bluebellrd Haka as performed by the All Blacks is a challenge and has nothing to do with entitlement unless you want to bring the politics of actually performing it into the conversation. Other international teams such as Samoa and Fiji have versions and I'd like to see the Boks perform their Zulu war cry before every game, too.
It's a challenge - deal with it as you will. Your choice. But when you get some of the reactions some have - you're beating yourselves. I think many great international players have seen it as an experience to be savoured then rip in. Laugh at it - whatever . . . don't forget to play the game. It didn't seem to bother Cockerill. 🤣 I've also read reports that scientists believe the Haka is as likely to be detrimental to the All Blacks as they lose focus on their first priority - a good start to the game. After the Irish / All Black game today, I didn't hear the Irish complaining the Haka gave the ABs an advantage. If The ABs meet SA in the final - big if - I'm sure it won't worry the Boks at all.
This is defo a different feel to all of the other times for Ireland. I remember them being so good leading up to the world cups and then in the year of the world cup they start to dwindle in performance. This time it looks like they are still peaking and looking to even beat the world record for wins in a row. Would be amazing for Ireland to win. Coming from a Springbok fan here. If the boks dont win I would like Ireland or France to win. Would be great for the game.
Best of luck From an Englishman You have been the top team and played some fantastic rugby All i hoped for us is some entertaining attacking rugby like yours .dont even care about a win this time You have raised the bar
I remember each and every one of these defeats, heartbreak all. You were spot on about the ABs, the performance is key and despite the errors and only playing 80 pc, we were Jordie Barrets hand from the Semis. Best of luck to NZ in the tournament now.
Great summary. Shows how hard it is to win a World Cup. While I think Ireland should be favourite. Anything can happen in a knockout game. Cards, injuries, etc.
NZer here - Rooting hard for the All Blacks!!🏴Being ranked No 1 means little at the RWC🏉- as one bad game can literally knock you out of the tournament (it's happened to NZ - when ranked No:1- many times)!! Also, teams whom you may have beaten convincingly prior to the tournament can come up and beat you at the RWC (which again has happened to NZ many times)!! So, all I can say to Irish Fans is firstly Good Luck against Scotland, then Good Luck against the All Blacks, then maybe at best guess Good luck against either France or the Boks again?!! BUT should you win the RWC, the Irish AFTER MATCH PARTY will be LEGENDARY!! 🍺I'll be Rooting for an Irish☘RWC win (but only if the AB's🏴get knocked out first - of course) !! 😂🍻👍
Completely agree with your thoughts on the AB's decline being overstated and especially with the point that a bad 20 mins and they can take games away from teams in a way that no other team in world rugby really can. Having said that and even if we lose to Scotland who have a great team at the moment as well or NZ in the quarters, I still think this is the greatest team we've ever produced in my opinion and sure we'll get trolled by other nations, but that's not going to change my mind. Immensely proud of them no matter what happens. To be the best you have to beat the best so bring it on!
As a South African, I truly understand your pain. We had a similar situation with our cricket team. We've had world-class players in years past, and we went to many world cups considered to be amongst the favorites, but we managed to find a way to lose every single time. Now our team sucks and everyone has given up, but hopefully, your team will have a different outcome to ours. ❤️ from South Africa.
ABz fan here. Commiserations Ireland! You have been the benchmark for the last few years. Sad to see you go again but you have some good talent rising thru the U20s Hold your head high and never give up God bless
Thank you for this video! I’ve only started following Irish rugby since ROG. So it was great to see the progression of Irish rugby through the decades - Amazing 🤩 ❤
Great video, agreed Ireland were not good enough when it mattered in previous tournaments. Also agree that NZ will bring their best to bare on Ireland in the quarters but I do feel that the quality of this side is not disputable. They may not win it but it is certainly within their ability to beat an in-form NZ side if they also bring a top performance.
Back then Ireland was not ranked the number 1 team in the world. So there is more realistic hype now. The Irish played excellent rugby in the past. Respect to the older players. The game was faster and more physical. And I must say the passing was excellent just by looking at this video😊
True. Also in years past where Ireland did well they did so against fairly weak Northern Hemisphere teams. NH rugby has been going from strength to strength and to be #1 now when playing in the Six Nations is a big deal. Even, Italy (although I feel overhyped for the ABs game) are a tough team to get past.
I am really hoping Ireland and France progress to the semi-finals to guarantee new champions for the first time in twenty years. I just feel it would generate an incredible amount of buzz for the game.
As a Springbok fan, if we don't win it, I have to say I would be so chuffed for the Irish or French to win it. Couldn't agree more: it will be good for rugby.
My dude, guessing you're speaking slowly because you're worried about the accent but definitely think you could do with upping the speed a bit. Perfectly understandable, great video
Per the question at the end, the loss to Wales in 2011 was worse than Argentina in 2015. We had too many players missing in 2015 with Sexton, POC, POM, Payne, and O’Brien missing from the start, and Bowe then going off injured. Payne’s absence is often overlooked given his defensive skill at 13, and Argentina destroyed us down that channel in the first half. Against Wales, we had the majority of the 2009 Grand Slam winning team in their prime and just didn’t rock up, and couldn’t figure out how to attack a fast line and chop tackle defence.
The loss against Wales in 2011 was bitterly disappointing. However, that was an excellent (and under-rated) Welsh side. They went on to win the GS in 2012. We underestimated them. The loss against Argentina in 2015 was disappointing. We'd lost some key players. I think they would have beaten us, even if we had our first team - they looked so pacy, and their recycling at each ruck, was mesmerising. I'm more optimistic about our chances against NZ next Saturday. They don't seem to have the spark that previous AB teams had, but it's going to be very tough. Hopefully we'll break our WC duck and get to the semis.
Really great video - some fantastic archive footage which I enjoyed! Thanks for putting it together. I do think you're being a little kind to some Irish teams (especially 2007) who massively underperformed throughout the tournament. Yes they got knocked out by good teams, but they also nearly lost to Georgia! Best of luck vs NZ on Saturday - such a tough draw for those in Groups A and B this time around
@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I think it could happen again, New Zealand look ominous, and Scotland won't go gently into the night, and there could be a possibility of meeting Wales, who have found another gear and have been to few semis.
It's a monkey we need to get off our backs, just like beating the All Blacks for the first time (Chicago) and also the first time at home 2018 in Dublin.
I'm French but I'm still shocked about Ireland. They had the best team in their history and surely in the world, but history has repeated itself for them. It's like Ireland is cursed. But that was the risk of the quarter-finals. We knew that 2 of the 4 best teams in the world would be eliminated. It was very close, but Ireland and France lost. It's frustrating but that's sport, you can't win all the time, we just chose the wrong moment to lose lol
Great video. As a Wales fan, assuming we make the semis, I'd much rather face Ireland than NZ. Ireland are an unbelievable side, but can't help thinking their previous WC performances will play on their minds as they get deeper into the tournament. Not saying we'd win, but I could see it being pretty tight as Gatland has outsmarted a lot of quality Irish sides in recent years
Great summary. Thank you for all the hard work that went into that . I’m looking forward to these games ahead of us and I’m not really bothered who we face . If we deserve the top ranking we should deal with who ever is in front of us This is assuming we beat Scotland of course and get out of the group stages
As an England fan (recovered from Saturday’s loss) this is a pretty honest assessment of why Ireland keep failing in the knockout stages (when there are no second chances). Bearing in mind most of this team are Leinster, I believe that the two devastating losses to La Rochelle in the finals of the European Cup damaged some deep down belief in the players. Ireland went through the last 37 phases but the Irish guys I was watching with all thought they were going through the motions. The All Blacks were well and truly ready for Ireland this tournament. (stand up Joe Schmidt) Maybe a little more contrition is needed next time and a little less over confidence.
Brilliant video thanks. Myself and family travelled over for a very memorable trip to New Zealand in 2011 and we attended that heartbreaking game against Wales. Il never forget the craic with the other fello rugby supporters as we made are way around to each match it was class!! But Wales have been enemy number 1 since that day 😂
NZL are not in decline. Our biggest problem position is our Coach. We have the players, it’s just that no one knows Fozzies game plan so anything could happen and Ireland are a great defensive team.
Man I was gutted when Ireland lost on the weekend. The quarter final curse continues in 2023… as world #1’s again! Very upsetting and was hoping to see an early exit from NZ :(
Ireland have become to great in the last 10 years! I think it's just unfortunate how they've placed and when they've looked their best ever, they had to vs an All blacks team on their path of redemption. You guys definitely had what it takes to win this cup, it was just unfortunate timing
If you had a look at just this record: 10 World cups, 9 quarter final appearances, you'd think, Wow, pretty good. Then you see '0 Semi-Final appearances' and realise lol
Cool video. As a kiwi watching i can feel the frustration. That 2019 game vs nz i remember clearly. The allblacks played their finals vs Ireland and left nothing on the table vs England. I remember the hype for the England game... lol. This weekend will be epic. Nz vs Ireland and France vs SA are like their own finals. Such a bummer these teams play now and dont meet later. Ireland have won a good 17 in a row... a bloody good effort. If they win the cup they will be the undisputed best in the world. I would pick Ireland to win, but i cant say id be disappointed if the allblacks win.
Needs updating now after another quarter exit 😢,some say we are cursed, a game we could n should of won but didn't, 2023 exit has been different because Ireland are as good as any team in it.
As an Aussie, I was shocked when wales won in 2011 I thought you guys would be able to walk through that side of the draw based on the weakness of the French and English at the time
im an irish person and i have to say that 2011 and 2015 were our worst exits and if i had to chose id pick 2011 as the more painfull of the two because the loss was by more than double for argentina and i thought we had a chance only them to go and double our points
@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee they didn't struggle against minnots in 2015 and they hammered France. Injuries definitely killed us and France was the last game of the pool while the Argies had an easy game. Angentina were great though, just making the point that the injuries gave us no hope.
Love your video, we're a nation a tears when it comes to rugby, just rarely they're tears of joy! On a serious note, I think you're take on the current NZ team is well measured. Teams often don't show their cards until they're out of group stages and NZ are still one of the best sides in the world. I have no doubts we'll come out on top still, gotta have faith in the lads, they can bloody win this thing.
As an Irish fan both 2015 and 2019 were incredibly disappointing, 2015 because of the incredible group stage and going against Argentina I believed we could win. In 2019 the group stage was poor, but the game against the AB’s was humiliating.
I remember argentina in 2015, it was very rough. Was shocked argentina played so much better. 2019 was a slaughter. This year was not. So you could say it was an improvement. Some people say we'll never have such a good team again but something tells me thats been said before. Is it better to lose by an inch or by a mile? Our only solace is we beat south africa in one of the best games of rugby ever
No kiwi is confident that we will win Ireland are to good atm but we still love the challenge and fancy our chances it’s anyone’s game good luck Ireland from a humble Kiwi
Great video. Very differnet this time. Also, Leinster got hurt this year and that makes them stronger. Munster won the RFC with one team, so they are pumped. Aki and Hansen from Connacht... say no more. Ian Henderson is one of the best players in the world - when fit . It' Sexton's last chance. He was lucky to be sidelined until the WC. The stars are aligning. Ireland will win this World Cup. (Oh and Dupont..)
If we don't make it to the semis this time, it won't be because we choked. It will be because of small errors and small margins against the best teams in the world. Obviously hoping we make it to the semis, just to prove that we can and have stepped up, and no longer cave to the pressure.
Ireland’s biggest challenge is that they can not handle the pressure at the big stage. Argentina for example is a much less consistent rugby team than Ireland and many other nations, however at the big stage they thrive. They have stronger mentality and are more resilient under pressure. Argentina possesses today a better rugby world cup record over other professional rugby nations such as Ireland, wales, & Scotland. These are facts no opinions! As a side note; 1- Argentina is still a amateur rugby nation, although 95% now play professionally in europe. 2- Argentina national team has 100% of its players borne, rise, and learn to play amateur rugby in Argentina. This is not the case Irish team. Cheers!
As a Welshman I absolutely love my Irish brothers! This world cup they rlly remind me of England in 2003 (form wise) and I genuinely think they could do it! It's just if they meet France in the final 😬
Ireland vs NZ - Irish have to be favourites. I'm an ABs fan and they'll be coming off some soft victories over the minnows compared to the Irish who've downed SA and most likely Scotland so they'll be battle-hardened, we won't. If the ABs come thru the pool games without injuries, they'll definitely have a chance (not to mention the home series loss last yr being a great motivator) but they'll need all their A team onboard. I just wonder if investing in Schmidt will pay dividends, we shall find out.
Nah in my experience Kiwi fans are actually amazingly sound and humble win or lose. Honestly! Ireland have beaten them a few times and each time they mostly comment well done etc.. they are a PROPER rugby nation full of genuien fans that love the sport like NO OTHER country. South Africans... god damn, they are so arrogant its awful.@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
As you pointed out the supposed decline of the kiwis is very overstated. Too many people hyped the Irish up and that was their downfall. Ireland was thoroughly outclassed by the all blacks and I think the Irish knew they had to play well but I don’t think they expected to have to go the distance like that.
I dont think they were "outclassed", that is a strong word and would suggest a 50-10 drilling rather than a 4 point nail biter. New Zealand were certainly better but it was a close game.
It was a game for the books, one to return to in years to come. What I think they where trying to say is that the ABs did there home work better. We worked out a defensive system that worked and employed it ruthlessly. Zero handling errors always helps too. Great game by both teams, good luck to the Irish as they work towards getting the gorilla off their back.
@@CouncilofOneElectronic I think given Irelands ranking they were outclassed because NZ were ahead the whole way. Ireland did well to not let the game blow out but all in all it was a forgettable night at the office for Irish.
To watch this video after Irelands defeat to NZ in 2023s WC (back to back for that matter) is just a sad affair to see. Irelands dominance of rugby in the past year has been nothing short of amazing. As a rugby fan, I would have loved for the Irish to win it all in this years tournament. But unfortunately as we have seen countless times before, sports can be cruel in the of best times and in Irelands case it came in the form of another world cup exit after being the best team in the world for over a year or so. If there was one team that deserves to win it all, its truly the Irish. I truly hope they continue this run and look to continue on to the next world cup heads held high.
I'm really excited for Ireland vs New Zealand 🏉 next Saturday. I think it's going to be a great game and the champions will come out of that series. I think Ireland are finally going to lift the Web Ellis Cup 🏆 at the end of this tournament. 👏🏽 🇮🇪
as a South African and Springbok supporter i can confidently say there was no one more deserving of a world cup final appearance than Ireland. The dominance the Irish have over the game is unparalleled. I look forward to the Ireland and the northern hemisphere as a whole to beat our asses in 27!

Thanks mate I think I can speak for most Irish rugby fans and say the feeling is mutal. We have huge and well earned respect for Puma rugby and personally for me, watching you guys beat the AB's for the first time, with all the covid related inactivity the Pumas had to endure leading up to it was one of rugby's great stories and probably the greatest level off happiness I've personally felt watching a different nation to my own win at sport! Shout out to Japan beating the Boks too (not so much beating us though 😂)

Ireland was terrible. The 90's were Ireland's dark ages

Nicholas Sanchez masterclass knocked Ireland out in 2015
G'day mate, kiwi here.
Great summary of Irelands world cup performances.
As much as you're not feeling overly confident about playing NZ in the quarters, we aren't feeling overly confident about playing you guys either. Should be a great battle and may the best team win (not some dodgy ref call). Anywho, if you guys do knock us out, I'll be throwing my support behind you guys as I believe your consistency over the last few years deserves the silverware.
Good luck bro 🤗
as, for all of those people that didn't believe me at all, karma will come back and hunt yous all
not too sure about that. Most kiwis are quite confident in beating ireland now. We are building great. I cant wait to destroy ireland in the quarters
Yup, if the Irish beat the All Blacks, I'll be fist pumping for you guys too bro
@andredelamare6290 what complete garbage, I’m a kiwi and very confident heading into the quarter finals. Stop saying ‘we’ when spouting your ‘own’ views. You’re going down paddies!!
*not some dodgy ref call😂😂😂😂😂 have you seen Wales vs Fiji or SA vs Ireland. Never underestimate the establishment 😂
RUclips algorithm is ruthless! this vid shows up on my feed an hour after the ABs v Ireland quarter-final. Ouch!
Kiwi here, and relieved we won today but sad for Ireland. They are a quality team and I've been so happy to see how much they have improved since the 90s. I hope next time they make it to the semis or further, as they are overdue that success. If they'd won today, I'd be cheering them on hoping for them to win the tournament. From what I understand, largely based on what Gregor Townsend said, they have some amazing talent coming through and he expected them to dominate world rugby for the next 5-10 years. The groundwork is certainly there so let's see what they can do!
Thanks for the respect and congratulations on the win. That All blacks performance was stellar in every aspect of the game. I am definitely rooting for you guys to win a 4th and become the greatest of all time. 🇮🇪🤝🇳🇿
Born losers. We will win nothing
Thanks they fall again to the southern hemisphere. For sure they don't have it never will
Everyone talks about Ireland winning the World Cup one day but I think if any nation deserves a WC it’s France they’re always competing at the World Cup they’ve made a few finals but never won I feel sorry for them
@@taraishot100As an Irish person I agree, we have been at the top table for a relatively short time but France have been competitive for much longer and have had some great teams.
I think people talk about Ireland a lot because of their transformation from underdogs to a team that can regularly beat the best in the world
23 was the worst one
Boy shut up no it wasint
It was cuz the ref robbed us
@@Baz502😂😂😂
Yeah thr was bad one
Well this video aged perfectly. Sorry to the Irish.
excelent recap. Best of lucks for this RWC -from an argentenian-.
As a New Zealander it's great to see the gap between us and the rest of the world getting smaller. That Quarter Final was brilliant and heartbreaking. All sport is better when it's contested like that. Honestly I had been cheering on Ireland from the get-go.
I remember vividly the 2016 Ireland v NZ game in Chicago (of all places), Soldier's Field. I had relatives living there, Americans who knew nothing of the game who I convinced to watch the game. It was a hectic and exciting match which they very much enjoyed. The significance of Ireland's win was lost on them...but I managed to impart the gravitas;
110 years; 28 tests.
This was the first time Ireland had ever won.
We've met 8 times since.
You've won 4 🍀
Cuck
Thanks man, as an Irishman I appreciate that, I just hope we can eventually make a semi-final 😞
Let’s not forget, Ireland have been the first team in almost 30 years to make us taste defeat in a home test series
I’m Irish but best of luck to New Zealand it’s wide open for u now because France are out
You give a great message. But still you give the same message if the ABs has losse ? Because its easy when your team win to be humble
I remember having unbearable butterflies from excitement in anticipation of the 2011 quarter final. I ended up missing most of the game as I had turned off my alarm clock by accident. While sleeping I had a terrible nightmare Ireland were being beaten by the Welsh. Then I woke up and realised with enormous relief that it was just a horrible nightmare. Then I turned on the TV and realised it was a nightmare come true.
Argentina for me was another heartbreaker. I remember them flooding our wings with players and offloads which we couldn't deal with.
I remember being in the pub, as was natural for an irish child of the time, watching the 1991 quarterfinal. The whole pub went absolutely silent in dismay when Lynagh went over our line.
Tbh the way New Zealand destroyed Italy I am bracing myself for more heartache. No way would we have put 96 points on Italy.
With all due respect Italy never showed up and downed tools after 20 mins,Italy ran France close in the 6N this year...as well as running us close aswell ! We are definitely in the heads of the AB's,notcsaying it will be a walk over but we have the blueprint to beat them....here's to the semis 😂
The reason Italy lost so heavily to the ABs is because they played right into their system. The ABs like to force an attacking team wide and compete at the breakdown, they've been doing this for 10 years. Italy love to throw it out wide. Not to mention the Italians seemed to give up after 20 minutes. Ireland will have done their homework and I don't think Ireland have too much to worry about from that game.
As an AB supporter, I honestly believe this will be your year. This Irish team was the first to beat nz in a series on their home ground, they’re on a 16 match winning streak, have the fastest ruck speeds and defensively strong, perfect for a World Cup.
@@whokilledjr3719 I can feel it in my bones !!!!
@@whokilledjr3719while you could be very well correct I believe it could still be our year but regardless of the puff piece pushed out by nzr+ I still don't believe there is cohesion in our all blacks setup going on for 4/5 years now..I think it's all lip service and a mistake was made at the close of 2019 (but I'm from Canterbury so I think most of us down here feel this way)
Ireland deserve the respect they've earned and could go all the way and while that would mean most likely losing to them in the qtrs I would back them for the remainder in that scenario.
For me......and some other teams fans can and will take this as an excuse if they want but I really don't like the way the game is reffed these days or the amount of gamesmanship going on. But tbf though it may just point to our coaching staffs incapability (or more probably stubbornness) to draw up plans and adapt to the current interpretations and applications of the rule book along with a wishy washy selection dilemma
As a Springbok fan watching this video what I see is a team that have improved every year over 36 years. What a story! I love Irish rugby and still, every now and again, have a moment of deep sadness, nearly shock, when I realise that I won't see Brian O'Discoll on a rugby pitch again.
Same was a huge O'Discoll too. From a Kiwi
After watching this, it occurred to me that the Irish have had the team to make semis since 07 and each team gets stronger as time goes on.
- 87: Needed to top the pool to have a realistic chance at the semis.
- 91: Did as well as could have been expected and was close to the second biggest upset of the tournament.
- 95: Agree - did well to make it out of the pool.
- 99: Should have made the QFs but the beginning of a tier 1 team was made that day after always threatening to do so for so for years.
- 03: Survived the pool.
- 07: Same as 99 but top tier confimred.
- 11: Not the best Irish WC team but the best chance of making the semis. Had the team to beat a very good Welsh side and face an erratic French team.
- 15: Unlucky with injuries but should have won that QF.
- 19: Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
- 23: Heartbreaking. Deserved to be a semi-finalists. As did all teams from that side of the draw.
Thanks for the great vid.
Great video. As a Kiwi I'm really hoping we play you in the 1/4s because Ireland's number one ranking is totally deserved and I really want to see where we are at in comparison, this is the best way. If Ireland win then I feel the cup is there for the taking and once again, it would be totally deserved. If we win that 1/4 final then it will set us up for a great shot at it as well. Big, big game.
I agree. There are still some weird scenarios where the Boks could end up leaving the pool in first place but I think and Ireland v All Blacks game would be amazing to watch. Also it leaves us facing the highly unpredictable French which makes me super nervous. But then I would be super nervous if we were playing the ABs too! Good luck to all the teams.
SO it will be
Update 😅😊
@@Martin-pb7tsIt was amazing to watch, you were right. Good luck to the All Blacks in the final!
As a South African I of course want the Springboks to win back to back RWC. The game against Ireland was fantastic. I think Foster under plays how tough this game was. Irish fans were fantastic after their win. I believe that Ireland has shown the world that they can defend & attack to best the best teams in the world. I am sure they will get to the quarters. Both Ireland & Springboks must believe that they can beat the “haka” mentality of the All Blacks. Outside of the Springboks I hope Ireland wins the RWC2023, good luck.
It's too scary right. The haka 😅
What exactly is "haka mentality" - and (how) does it differ from the attitude other teams bring to the field? Even under the most woeful AB's coach in recent history, and an incompetent rugby union rife with cronyism, the AB's still have a decent chance of beating the Irish, who, as this video shows, can't seem to put it all together at RWC's - the AB's have won 3 so maybe the haka has some value after all...
@@tiomiguel999 I believe that the haka definitely benefits the AB. @Springboks have only won the series against the @AllBlacks once in NZ when they performed the Nhlamba Zulu war cry. A “haka mentality” is one of entitlement - we have a right to perform the haka, we have the right to beat you, we are the best team in the world and will become RWC champions. Other teams must develop this mindset of entitlement - @Springboks will win the RWC or @Ireland will win the RWC
@@202bluebellrd Haka as performed by the All Blacks is a challenge and has nothing to do with entitlement unless you want to bring the politics of actually performing it into the conversation. Other international teams such as Samoa and Fiji have versions and I'd like to see the Boks perform their Zulu war cry before every game, too.
It's a challenge - deal with it as you will. Your choice.
But when you get some of the reactions some have - you're beating yourselves. I think many great international players have seen it as an experience to be savoured then rip in. Laugh at it - whatever . . . don't forget to play the game. It didn't seem to bother Cockerill.
🤣
I've also read reports that scientists believe the Haka is as likely to be detrimental to the All Blacks as they lose focus on their first priority - a good start to the game.
After the Irish / All Black game today, I didn't hear the Irish complaining the Haka gave the ABs an advantage.
If The ABs meet SA in the final - big if - I'm sure it won't worry the Boks at all.
This is defo a different feel to all of the other times for Ireland. I remember them being so good leading up to the world cups and then in the year of the world cup they start to dwindle in performance. This time it looks like they are still peaking and looking to even beat the world record for wins in a row. Would be amazing for Ireland to win. Coming from a Springbok fan here. If the boks dont win I would like Ireland or France to win. Would be great for the game.
It feels different this year
Said evry Irishman ever lol
Lmao you were saying? It's the same shit every world cup y'all don't learn 😂😂😂
Best of luck
From an Englishman
You have been the top team and played some fantastic rugby
All i hoped for us is some entertaining attacking rugby like yours .dont even care about a win this time
You have raised the bar
Another glorious QF exit for the spud pickers this weekend.
I remember each and every one of these defeats, heartbreak all. You were spot on about the ABs, the performance is key and despite the errors and only playing 80 pc, we were Jordie Barrets hand from the Semis. Best of luck to NZ in the tournament now.
Great summary. Shows how hard it is to win a World Cup. While I think Ireland should be favourite. Anything can happen in a knockout game. Cards, injuries, etc.
Wouldn't be surprised if Scotland win and Ireland get knocked out in the group tbh
oh wouldn't ya@@loganwilliams7635
NZer here - Rooting hard for the All Blacks!!🏴Being ranked No 1 means little at the RWC🏉- as one bad game can literally knock you out of the tournament (it's happened to NZ - when ranked No:1- many times)!! Also, teams whom you may have beaten convincingly prior to the tournament can come up and beat you at the RWC (which again has happened to NZ many times)!! So, all I can say to Irish Fans is firstly Good Luck against Scotland, then Good Luck against the All Blacks, then maybe at best guess Good luck against either France or the Boks again?!! BUT should you win the RWC, the Irish AFTER MATCH PARTY will be LEGENDARY!! 🍺I'll be Rooting for an Irish☘RWC win (but only if the AB's🏴get knocked out first - of course) !! 😂🍻👍
Completely agree with your thoughts on the AB's decline being overstated and especially with the point that a bad 20 mins and they can take games away from teams in a way that no other team in world rugby really can. Having said that and even if we lose to Scotland who have a great team at the moment as well or NZ in the quarters, I still think this is the greatest team we've ever produced in my opinion and sure we'll get trolled by other nations, but that's not going to change my mind. Immensely proud of them no matter what happens. To be the best you have to beat the best so bring it on!
As a South African, I truly understand your pain. We had a similar situation with our cricket team. We've had world-class players in years past, and we went to many world cups considered to be amongst the favorites, but we managed to find a way to lose every single time. Now our team sucks and everyone has given up, but hopefully, your team will have a different outcome to ours. ❤️ from South Africa.
Lol our cricketers seem to have somehow found form though at the right time. Pisses me off because now I have hope again haha
@@tristankeuning That's how it is all the time and then they exit the world cup in the knockout stages. Maybe semis exit again? :P
new zealand is cricket world cup up the black caps
kinda like the rugby championship?
@@tristankeuning Then we go and lose against the Netherlands xd
I'd swear that was Frankie from 'Meditations for the anxious mind' narrating xD great vid bro
ABz fan here. Commiserations Ireland! You have been the benchmark for the last few years. Sad to see you go again but you have some good talent rising thru the U20s Hold your head high and never give up God bless
This is brilliant 😂😂 nearly 13 x mins of us getting booted out.
🇮🇪 Fan here .
Watching this only makes me think if we win the World Cup you cant say we dont deserve it.👏👏.
May the best team win it .
Good 🍀
Thank you for this video! I’ve only started following Irish rugby since ROG. So it was great to see the progression of Irish rugby through the decades - Amazing 🤩 ❤
Great video, agreed Ireland were not good enough when it mattered in previous tournaments. Also agree that NZ will bring their best to bare on Ireland in the quarters but I do feel that the quality of this side is not disputable. They may not win it but it is certainly within their ability to beat an in-form NZ side if they also bring a top performance.
excellent recap! Was at Landsdowne Road in 1991 for the Aussie defeat.Never forget the silence when Lynagh went over.
Back then Ireland was not ranked the number 1 team in the world. So there is more realistic hype now.
The Irish played excellent rugby in the past. Respect to the older players. The game was faster and more physical. And I must say the passing was excellent just by looking at this video😊
True. Also in years past where Ireland did well they did so against fairly weak Northern Hemisphere teams. NH rugby has been going from strength to strength and to be #1 now when playing in the Six Nations is a big deal. Even, Italy (although I feel overhyped for the ABs game) are a tough team to get past.
I am really hoping Ireland and France progress to the semi-finals to guarantee new champions for the first time in twenty years. I just feel it would generate an incredible amount of buzz for the game.
As a Springbok fan, if we don't win it, I have to say I would be so chuffed for the Irish or French to win it. Couldn't agree more: it will be good for rugby.
Oh dear....
-15 October 2023
You were so right. I was shocked to hear they werent afraid of the ABS.
Absolutely no reason to be afraid jackass
Your voice is pure Guinness mixed with melted gold!
And maybe a little bit of tranquiliser....
Well done mate, nice video. Even enjoyed the memories. So much anticipation, same as this week. Best of luck Ireland 🇮🇪
My dude, guessing you're speaking slowly because you're worried about the accent but definitely think you could do with upping the speed a bit. Perfectly understandable, great video
Per the question at the end, the loss to Wales in 2011 was worse than Argentina in 2015. We had too many players missing in 2015 with Sexton, POC, POM, Payne, and O’Brien missing from the start, and Bowe then going off injured. Payne’s absence is often overlooked given his defensive skill at 13, and Argentina destroyed us down that channel in the first half. Against Wales, we had the majority of the 2009 Grand Slam winning team in their prime and just didn’t rock up, and couldn’t figure out how to attack a fast line and chop tackle defence.
The loss against Wales in 2011 was bitterly disappointing. However, that was an excellent (and under-rated) Welsh side. They went on to win the GS in 2012. We underestimated them. The loss against Argentina in 2015 was disappointing. We'd lost some key players. I think they would have beaten us, even if we had our first team - they looked so pacy, and their recycling at each ruck, was mesmerising. I'm more optimistic about our chances against NZ next Saturday. They don't seem to have the spark that previous AB teams had, but it's going to be very tough. Hopefully we'll break our WC duck and get to the semis.
Great summary - cheers
Really great video - some fantastic archive footage which I enjoyed! Thanks for putting it together.
I do think you're being a little kind to some Irish teams (especially 2007) who massively underperformed throughout the tournament. Yes they got knocked out by good teams, but they also nearly lost to Georgia!
Best of luck vs NZ on Saturday - such a tough draw for those in Groups A and B this time around
If NZ and Ireland meet in the quarters it's going to be one hell of a game that's for sure.
all blacks by 20 probably
🏴 It seems to be a curse, Ireland can't get over the quarters, great analysis and a realist.
@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I think it could happen again, New Zealand look ominous, and Scotland won't go gently into the night, and there could be a possibility of meeting Wales, who have found another gear and have been to few semis.
It's a monkey we need to get off our backs, just like beating the All Blacks for the first time (Chicago) and also the first time at home 2018 in Dublin.
@@spud7823😂😂
I'm French but I'm still shocked about Ireland. They had the best team in their history and surely in the world, but history has repeated itself for them.
It's like Ireland is cursed.
But that was the risk of the quarter-finals. We knew that 2 of the 4 best teams in the world would be eliminated. It was very close, but Ireland and France lost. It's frustrating but that's sport, you can't win all the time, we just chose the wrong moment to lose lol
Great video. As a Wales fan, assuming we make the semis, I'd much rather face Ireland than NZ. Ireland are an unbelievable side, but can't help thinking their previous WC performances will play on their minds as they get deeper into the tournament. Not saying we'd win, but I could see it being pretty tight as Gatland has outsmarted a lot of quality Irish sides in recent years
Great summary. Thank you for all the hard work that went into that .
I’m looking forward to these games ahead of us and I’m not really bothered who we face .
If we deserve the top ranking we should deal with who ever is in front of us
This is assuming we beat Scotland of course and get out of the group stages
2023 NZ have beaten Ireland..
A game that will go down in history..
Ireland should keep Farrell..
Team will be ready 2027.
Love from Fiji🇫🇯
Great video. Must have taken a lot of time to get the video footage from all those games. Thanks!
You were on the ball with NZ being able to pull away with a good 20 minutes. Shame we fell short again today. Maybe next time
As an England fan (recovered from Saturday’s loss) this is a pretty honest assessment of why Ireland keep failing in the knockout stages (when there are no second chances). Bearing in mind most of this team are Leinster, I believe that the two devastating losses to La Rochelle in the finals of the European Cup damaged some deep down belief in the players. Ireland went through the last 37 phases but the Irish guys I was watching with all thought they were going through the motions. The All Blacks were well and truly ready for Ireland this tournament. (stand up Joe Schmidt) Maybe a little more contrition is needed next time and a little less over confidence.
Nicholas Sanchez single handedly knock Ireland out
That was Juan Imhoff ya dolt, Sanchez single handedly knocked Wales out
Brilliant video thanks. Myself and family travelled over for a very memorable trip to New Zealand in 2011 and we attended that heartbreaking game against Wales. Il never forget the craic with the other fello rugby supporters as we made are way around to each match it was class!! But Wales have been enemy number 1 since that day 😂
Looks like they can do a part 2 now with yesterdays result.... too soon?
NZL are not in decline. Our biggest problem position is our Coach. We have the players, it’s just that no one knows Fozzies game plan so anything could happen and Ireland are a great defensive team.
Too true!!.Fozzie gotta go
I agree, NZ are still the team to beat. Still the benchmark.
Agree - how can NZ be in decline when they have a full trophy cabinet and currently battling for the Webb Ellis!
Excellent video 👍
Man I was gutted when Ireland lost on the weekend. The quarter final curse continues in 2023… as world #1’s again! Very upsetting and was hoping to see an early exit from NZ :(
As a kiwi I remember the day of Christophe Dominici one of my top 10 wingers of all time
Ireland have become to great in the last 10 years! I think it's just unfortunate how they've placed and when they've looked their best ever, they had to vs an All blacks team on their path of redemption. You guys definitely had what it takes to win this cup, it was just unfortunate timing
If you had a look at just this record: 10 World cups, 9 quarter final appearances, you'd think, Wow, pretty good.
Then you see '0 Semi-Final appearances' and realise lol
Cool video.
As a kiwi watching i can feel the frustration. That 2019 game vs nz i remember clearly. The allblacks played their finals vs Ireland and left nothing on the table vs England. I remember the hype for the England game... lol.
This weekend will be epic. Nz vs Ireland and France vs SA are like their own finals. Such a bummer these teams play now and dont meet later. Ireland have won a good 17 in a row... a bloody good effort. If they win the cup they will be the undisputed best in the world.
I would pick Ireland to win, but i cant say id be disappointed if the allblacks win.
We'll be waiting. 🇳🇿
Excellent video, 2011, 2023, 2015 in that order.
Good video. Nice work.
Excellent my boy, you just keep making these videos, nevermind what they say
Great insight! Good luck and we’ll see you guys in the quarters! 🙏 ire v All Blacks! Let’s go the fern 👍
Sanchez was robbed in 2015. Should've won player of the tournament.
As much as I agree, DC was very hard to top, especially getting motm in the final
Rough to be Irish supporter but love to watch you guys play
Cool video cheers
This needs to be updated
Needs updating now after another quarter exit 😢,some say we are cursed, a game we could n should of won but didn't, 2023 exit has been different because Ireland are as good as any team in it.
NZ rugby fan here. The ABs went through something similar at RWCs in 91, 95, 99, 03 and 07. We know the feeling.
Great video, straight to the point. Cheers mate and good luck against All Blacks.
And today. 14/10/2023 vs AB.
Goog job guys.
I feel bad right now for Ireland Rugby 😢
I love 🍀🇮🇪 from Arg
As an Aussie, I was shocked when wales won in 2011 I thought you guys would be able to walk through that side of the draw based on the weakness of the French and English at the time
Watching NZ put 40plus past us in a very excited pub at 8am in 2019 almost killed all interest in the sport for me
im an irish person and i have to say that 2011 and 2015 were our worst exits and if i had to chose id pick 2011 as the more painfull of the two because the loss was by more than double for argentina and i thought we had a chance only them to go and double our points
And just in time for the Scotland Banana Skin!
thanks for putting this together.
In 2015 they also lost O'Mahoney to injury in that France game and Sean O Brien to suspension.
@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee they didn't struggle against minnots in 2015 and they hammered France. Injuries definitely killed us and France was the last game of the pool while the Argies had an easy game. Angentina were great though, just making the point that the injuries gave us no hope.
Also lost sexton and o Connell, personally wales in 2011 was the worst one to take
@@djharto4917 ya those were mentioned in video. Agree about Wales. Sickening
Love your video, we're a nation a tears when it comes to rugby, just rarely they're tears of joy!
On a serious note, I think you're take on the current NZ team is well measured. Teams often don't show their cards until they're out of group stages and NZ are still one of the best sides in the world. I have no doubts we'll come out on top still, gotta have faith in the lads, they can bloody win this thing.
maybe next time brother
We are behind you Bokke❤
As an Irish fan both 2015 and 2019 were incredibly disappointing, 2015 because of the incredible group stage and going against Argentina I believed we could win. In 2019 the group stage was poor, but the game against the AB’s was humiliating.
I remember argentina in 2015, it was very rough. Was shocked argentina played so much better.
2019 was a slaughter. This year was not. So you could say it was an improvement. Some people say we'll never have such a good team again but something tells me thats been said before.
Is it better to lose by an inch or by a mile? Our only solace is we beat south africa in one of the best games of rugby ever
No kiwi is confident that we will win Ireland are to good atm but we still love the challenge and fancy our chances it’s anyone’s game good luck Ireland from a humble Kiwi
Don't forget to add their most recent exit, cheers to the allblacks
I don’t support the Irish rugby team however they play fabulous rugby and long may it continue.
Great video. Very differnet this time. Also, Leinster got hurt this year and that makes them stronger. Munster won the RFC with one team, so they are pumped. Aki and Hansen from Connacht... say no more. Ian Henderson is one of the best players in the world - when fit . It' Sexton's last chance. He was lucky to be sidelined until the WC. The stars are aligning. Ireland will win this World Cup. (Oh and Dupont..)
I agree about New Zealand
One correction though - New Zealand doesn't need twenty minutes, they can do it in seven! Go watch the pool game between them and SA in 2019....
If we don't make it to the semis this time, it won't be because we choked. It will be because of small errors and small margins against the best teams in the world.
Obviously hoping we make it to the semis, just to prove that we can and have stepped up, and no longer cave to the pressure.
Yip totally agree we really screwed up in 2011 and 2015 against Wales and Argentina
Ireland’s biggest challenge is that they can not handle the pressure at the big stage. Argentina for example is a much less consistent rugby team than Ireland and many other nations, however at the big stage they thrive. They have stronger mentality and are more resilient under pressure. Argentina possesses today a better rugby world cup record over other professional rugby nations such as Ireland, wales, & Scotland. These are facts no opinions!
As a side note;
1- Argentina is still a amateur rugby nation, although 95% now play professionally in europe.
2- Argentina national team has 100% of its players borne, rise, and learn to play amateur rugby in Argentina. This is not the case Irish team.
Cheers!
Might want to edit this video again buddy and add 2023 exit 😊
As a Welshman I absolutely love my Irish brothers! This world cup they rlly remind me of England in 2003 (form wise) and I genuinely think they could do it! It's just if they meet France in the final 😬
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
??@@adrianciobanu5856
Ireland vs NZ - Irish have to be favourites. I'm an ABs fan and they'll be coming off some soft victories over the minnows compared to the Irish who've downed SA and most likely Scotland so they'll be battle-hardened, we won't. If the ABs come thru the pool games without injuries, they'll definitely have a chance (not to mention the home series loss last yr being a great motivator) but they'll need all their A team onboard. I just wonder if investing in Schmidt will pay dividends, we shall find out.
alblacks will win against Ireland again
@@billytapurau5015 we’ll see. Looking forward to Razor coaching them. Sad he can’t even be at any ABs matches.
@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee It will be loud as long as Sexton doesn’t get injured or you’ll be joining us.
Schmidt has been a spy for the irish since joining nz.
Nah in my experience Kiwi fans are actually amazingly sound and humble win or lose. Honestly! Ireland have beaten them a few times and each time they mostly comment well done etc.. they are a PROPER rugby nation full of genuien fans that love the sport like NO OTHER country. South Africans... god damn, they are so arrogant its awful.@@pepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
As you pointed out the supposed decline of the kiwis is very overstated. Too many people hyped the Irish up and that was their downfall. Ireland was thoroughly outclassed by the all blacks and I think the Irish knew they had to play well but I don’t think they expected to have to go the distance like that.
I dont think they were "outclassed", that is a strong word and would suggest a 50-10 drilling rather than a 4 point nail biter. New Zealand were certainly better but it was a close game.
It was a game for the books, one to return to in years to come. What I think they where trying to say is that the ABs did there home work better. We worked out a defensive system that worked and employed it ruthlessly. Zero handling errors always helps too. Great game by both teams, good luck to the Irish as they work towards getting the gorilla off their back.
@@CouncilofOneElectronic I think given Irelands ranking they were outclassed because NZ were ahead the whole way. Ireland did well to not let the game blow out but all in all it was a forgettable night at the office for Irish.
And in 2023 the world cup quarter finals for Ireland still lives on.
4 more years
To watch this video after Irelands defeat to NZ in 2023s WC (back to back for that matter) is just a sad affair to see. Irelands dominance of rugby in the past year has been nothing short of amazing. As a rugby fan, I would have loved for the Irish to win it all in this years tournament. But unfortunately as we have seen countless times before, sports can be cruel in the of best times and in Irelands case it came in the form of another world cup exit after being the best team in the world for over a year or so. If there was one team that deserves to win it all, its truly the Irish. I truly hope they continue this run and look to continue on to the next world cup heads held high.
That was short lived now that France are out

No una cosa ni la otra, ni ganó Irlanda ni el ganador saldrá de esa serie.
Tas un poco confundido
The quater final curse continues
as a South African and Springbok supporter i can confidently say there was no one more deserving of a world cup final appearance than Ireland. The dominance the Irish have over the game is unparalleled. I look forward to the Ireland and the northern hemisphere as a whole to beat our asses in 27!
