@10Broderick@HugoGordon1 I think we can all agree that Irish Football peaked on 7 September 2005 when David Healey scored for Northern Ireland to beat England 1-0.
@ThalaMsutu77@HugoGordon1 I think this is true. You see it a lot in the National Hockey League. Some teams tear chunks out of others in dominant playoff performances after lacklustre regular season games. Physical domination is hard to sustain and the best team turn it on when needed. Always another gear.
Canada, simply amazing...
Knocked France and now Australia
This is a beautiful story of grits, passion and being more cunning that the opposition
What a memorable day for them!

@Huwipulotu I think this is reflective of the damage that coaches and players can do when openly criticising referees. It makes journalists and fan think they can do the same and that officials are somehow always against their team. It isn’t sustainable.
Feel like there’s an Andy Farrell lesson in this game when compared to the NZ quarter final. I know it’s not the pressure of a World Cup and it’s not Sexton but here he’s relied on subs in key positions and they’ve got us over the line. Not sure if it’s conscious but it worked.
Thought Osborne was excellent today. He made one mistake but otherwise was flawless. Excellent for such a young player. Feel like we’ve found our backup for Keenan
