OMG what a heartbreaker for Ireland!
Schoolboy error on that conversion though. |

Almost certainly the most sickening moment in Irish rugby history.....I don't think the All Blacks did anywhere near enough over the 80 minutes to merit that "win".

Unbelieveable.
Ireland conceded 2 tries where they kicked possession away in an imprecise manner. Still not sure why with 30 seconds to go, they decided to kick rather than recycle it. |

Doesn't matter which code of rugby, NZ never know they're beaten.
Two incredible finishes this weekend. |

NZ won that last penalty with 20 seconds left on the clock. It was all they needed.

the ref gave them that win
last 30 seconds he blew up for a turnover and it never was. they are the equivalent of Man United under the Fergie era- based on cheating and last minute controversies |

Glad to hear them praising Nigel Owen he's the best in the business

Be interesting to see the sats for each half.
That missed penalty will give Sexton nightmares. Still think he took too long. |

It was earlier they kicked away. Penalty for off their feet. Even so, you would expect to defend from the opp 10m line. |

Really? A northern hemisphere Celtic referee gave New Zealand a win?
That said no excuses. There's a reason why they're the best side in the world but did we have to make it so easy for them? |

Johnny Sexton will rue that kick for the rest of his like - 20 seconds from sporting immortality - harsh beyond belief.

A northern hemisphere referee who in my experience seems to be very biased against Ireland.

Great game, just sorry it had to end as it did. My husband who's the 'expert' did warn me that there could be an upset in the last few minutes, but I didn't really believe him. Fair play to NZ though, that was some comeback.
