Love Aaron Smith shouting 'Get up ardie' at 1:31:25, even though ardie definitely should've got the penalty there. Hopefully roigard can live up to his legacy

Possibly the most satisfying game of rugby that I've watched, and I've watched a few, the 96 epic v South Africa at loftus in Pretoria, the Wallabies in 2000 in front of 100 thousand spectators at stadium Australia, Jonah scoring the winner in the final minute...
This game v Ireland is right up there.

i was a distraught ireland fan but i did have to admit that it was ludicrous the way our media wrote off the all blacks. the one country, South Africa, that actually showed them respect were the ones who ultimately got the job done

I watched this game in an Irish pub, and as a Scot, it really grew my appreciation for the people of Ireland. They are some of the funniest and passionate rugby fans I’ve ever seen.

Hard to choose between this game and the France South Africa game for the best World Cup game ever. What a weekend that was!!!

[bucky]

Greatest game of rugby I have ever watched in my life

[driverosfraser]

37 phases and no penalties conceded by NZ. Steel-core tactical discipline from the ABs. Probably the best defensive effort ever seen on a RWC. What a match!

[anthuwincupido]

Moral of this game? Never underestimate the greatest team in history!

[clibo]

1:33:17 just sums it up perfectly: Attack wins Six Nations etc, Defence matters most at the highest level.

Looking back at this game without the emotion on the day, I must confess that NZ had the edge from the beginning.

[sonitakinui]

With all due respect to Ireland.
If you look very closely?
With the exception of Johnny Sexton.
All the points in this game were actually all scored by New Zealanders.
Great game.

I’m Irish and a huge All Blacks fan too. Loyalty that night was to Ireland and it would’ve been great to beat NZ but they did well. This game was an absolute exhibition and both teams went down with a fight.

[brianharvey]

This Ireland team is magnificent, but they’re simply not the best team in the world! The depth and generational experience of the Boks and All Blacks remains supreme.

This is the match I wanted to rewatch the most. Finally, thank you, World Rugby.

Before this match, I kept telling people never to sleep on the Allblacks. People kept on saying the ABs won't have a chance. Even Irish Pundits, ex professionals kept on saying that the Irish need to play at just 90% and they'll win comfortably 😂😂😂.

I think the Irish got carried away when they beat South Africa in the pool stages. Even though the Springboks didn't have a kicker, the game still ended up being close.

This loss brought them down to earth, and I was so happy when they lost. In general, I love Irish people, I think they're amazing. I love their history and their culture, but in rugby, they needed some humbling, and they got it.

Well played New Zealand 😍.

As a Kiwi i have lots of respect toward Irish rugby. Since i was a youngster, us Kiwis always embraced the Irish.

[shortvideos]

Last minutes of this game is insane ireland did 37 phases just wow if they scored that try it would be the greatest match winning try of all time

[sandorclegane]

"once in a lifetime, once in a generation, this is their year" i love the northern hemisphere lol.

[the_year]

Don’t have the heart to watch this yet as an Irish man. Will get there eventually lol.

[yak]

Love how Aaron Smith didn't get fazed by the yellow card, absolute trooper!

[jacquescoetzee]

The best part of this World Cup (aside from winning it of course) was seeing South Africa and New Zealand, respectively, dispatching France and Ireland. All this boasting and posturing came to such a swift and dramatic end, and the fallout was glorious.

It reminds me of this quote: “A mountain was in labour, uttering immense groans, and on earth there was very great expectation - but it gave birth to a mouse.”
