My heart has never gone through so much stress in 80 minutes, lost my voice and we still have a monster South Africa vs France game to go

[S-A-M-]

How New Zealand survived that Ireland onslaught at the end & twice played man down is incredible, both teams played part in an all time classic

This is in my top 5 games from recent memory. Amazing. Some shaky decision making from Ireland, but that's the pressure you're under against the All-blacks

[hishamosman]

This game is worthy of being the Final itself! I think the AB's defense today made all the difference. What a game!

[ChiefNabster]

Contrats New Zealanders on your character, belief, courage, commitment, bravery, and also your humility in defeat over the years, and best wishes with the rest of the tournament! From an Irishman.

Absolutely need extended highlights to do this match justice. Wow what a game.

[bradical]

The last 3 mins were pure anxiety as an AB fan. Well done, lads 🇳🇿

[preest_nz]

Ritchie Mounga, take a bow. That break ultimately won us the game. Feel for Ireland, this was their time, but once again they fall at the quarters.

[vinchang]

This is the most shocking game that I have watched since the 1995 World Cup in South Africa, and the whole audience was nervous to watch it! Good game! Great All Blacks! Ireland also showed the resilience and strength of being ranked number one in the world, thank you for your hard work!

I am a South African and a Springbok supporter.This game however was one of the best rugby games i have ever seen.

That hold up from barret cant be ignored !!!!

[mikee]

This was the best game of rugby I've seen in a very.. very long time.. World cup final vibes

[Oliver-zmho]

The experienced players really came to the fore for New Zealand, Cane, Savea, Retallick, Whitelock, Smith and Barret were class.

[westsideisdabest]

One of the best games of rugby every played. Gutted for Ireland, but New Zealand literally played the perfect game outside of the yellow cards. Don’t think I saw a single handling error in the whole 80 mins. That last minute of the game getting up to phase 35 was unreal, Ireland went out in their shield. Quality stuff

[chez]

The quality of rugby we've had in these knockouts might be best we've ever seen at a world cup. Best weekend of rugby I've seen in my lifetime

[phili]

Commiserations to Ireland 🇮🇪 your team played with heart and soul... Respect from South Africa

[Sebastian-pxbl]

As an Englishman who’s part Irish I’m bloody proud of Ireland for fighting so hard but you can never underestimate the ABs…… immaculate defence in the end

[xaviernewton]

Jodie Barrett try saver, Beauden Barrett chip kick leading to a try, Sam Canes and Savea turnover machines, Aaron tenaciously getting back in after a sin bin, Mounga linebreak with Jordan in support, Whitelock game sealing turnover but most of all, The All Black tenacious and heart to stop Ireland 36 phases in the ending moments! What a heartfelt moment it was to experience. A bow to all the All Blacks on that field for their heart fought and courageous effort in defending that try line. Congratulations AB 👏

I've been watching rugby since WC 2011, and this game will now forever stand as something else. Just brilliant from both sides, and absolute joy to watch.

As an Aussie, the AllBlacks have made me sad on nearly every occasion we've met, but they are definitely my number 2 team... Well done... The big tournament moment got the better of Ireland...
