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.

It's some feat to be outplayed for most of a match and still win it.

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.

Really? A northern hemisphere Celtic referee gave New Zealand a win?

NZ kept possession for 3 mins. Ireland lost possession when they kicked it away.

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

Devastated ... utterly utterly heartbreaking. Damn proud of the Irish lads though.

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

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.

It's his Stephen Jones moment.

Yep, he has history. Not sure why the presenters weren't implying as much

They did seem too quick to point out he is well respected in the rugby world

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.

Yep feel sorry for him - as the RTÉ lads were saying we need to push on now and become a consistent side week in week out... we are probably the best team in the world for backs to the wall performances... if that was any other team in the world we would have thrashed them with a performance like that. We were ferocious at the break down - I have not seen NZ rattled like they were in the first half for a very long time.
