What a cracking game of rugby that was on Saturday night between New Zealand and Ireland and again on Sunday between South Africa and France both at a full Stade de France in Paris.

In a rather ugly incident post-match it is reported that All Blacks centre Reiko Ioane said to Sexton, “Enjoy retirement and don’t miss your flight”.
Rightfully so, Barnes was absolutely pro-nz all game.

That is shocking from Rieko Ioane, pity Sexton didn’t hit him! But Sexton showed his class by not I suppose, that’s very disappointing to hear from the All Blacks centre.
It was a cracking game of rugby from both teams and there was no need for that stupid comment from Rieko Ioane, I certainly don’t hope New Zealand win the Rugby World Cup now..
It is weird that the same people in the UK laughed at what Peter O said to Sam but now when someone tells them off they are unhappy. So and Irishman can chirp a All Black but not the other way around?
People in the UK???
No wonder you’re confused, Ireland is a sovereign country you ignorant, backward fool.
Who’s your head of state in New Zealand?
Oh that’s right- King of England.
Not so mighty and independent are you, Paul.
Open a history / Geography book, lad.
Cmon
The Irish rugby tean includes those from Northern Ireland, which, the last time I looked, is part of the UK. I’d be careful who you throw insults at, if I were you. And pethaps you could also acquire those history/geography books you spoke of for youself.
Ireland is not part of the UK.
Shame your geography teachers are total and utter rubbish. But why waste money educating minions of the king of England and half your population is Māori who drop out of school at 12.
You also haven’t got a clue about Northern Ireland, there was a Good Friday agreement in 1998 where people in Northern Ireland can hold UK or Irish passport. Since Brexit over 95% of people in Norther Ireland have Irish passports to remain in the European Union.
So stay in your narrow minded bubble dominion of the British Empire as we will keep enjoying watching it fail.
Just to prove that point, have a look at who is on top of the GDP (PPP) per capita list and where failing Commonwealth Nations like yours are.
Now go back to preserving he culture of New Zealand that we were shown in the movie Once were Warriors.
Go have another Guinness tommo might calm you down from talking rubbish
Ireland and co talked plenty of rubbish after the series win in NZ , you think he forgot that so he was returning the favour . Still never got past a quarter final gonna make up a new drink to mark the occasion call it the Irish choker
You sound like you don’t know much about the Good Friday agreement yourself…! NI remains part of the UK, owning an Irish passport doesn’t change that.
As a dual citizen of Ireland and England I disassociate myself from this drivel. Stick to the rugby and park your bigotry at the door.
Wow. Half the population is Maori who drop out of school at 12!
Did you really just write that?
Factually incorrect, and racist to boot. Also, nothing to do with the subject.
Idiot Shame on you. If you’re Irish then you should understand the effects of racism.
Tommo it’s angry price like you that give Northern &Southern Ireland a bad name. Give it up
People who live in glasshouses should not throw stones. It is a shame you teachers didn’t teach you to stick to facts instead of insults which have nothing to do with the issue. What a narcisstic uneducated inaccurate loud mouth. No wonder we hear all about whining poms … you fit the bill perfectly.
Hey IDIOT
For a so called educated person you really are a numpty. Once we’re warriors was a movie you know those things that ain’t real but are base of similar family events regardless of ethnicity???? Yeah those things. That would be like me basing my opinion of Ireland based on the movie Gods Creatures, but I don’t, because guess what? I’m a māori that got a education and left school when I was 18 then went on with further education choices which has landed me in my job I do now.
Jesus Christ, some ones got sand in their vagina. take that bigoted shit and cram it up your broad potato eating ass.
As far as failing, we consistently rank at the top or close to on global livability scores.
I guess you are doing your best to reinforce the drunken abusive Irish stereotype eh?
Shame on you
I thought we are talking about rugby here ? Maybe you need to chat on some history / georgrapgic page?
Good game!
Look, it’s the plasterer again, now called k19. Little loser sits at home typing the same dumb message thinking he might annoy the irish. Hahaha, he’s an uneducated clown that knows nothing and spent his whole life bullied so he left school at 12 to get bullied on site instead of the class. Man stick plaster on wall, man make few bucks to get phone to type messages on Internet to sound tough, man feel proud, but man have no girlfriend ever and no friends 🙁
26 + 6 = 1
Does that mean Ireland still have a team in the final called England. Asking for a friend.
You pompous twat. The point is if you dish it out you need to be able to take it. Sexton has been sledging his whole career. Don’t worry I’m sure you’ll make it past the qtrs one day!
If we got your draw it would have been a different story …, when was the last time you beat Ireland ??! It’s the same old Bla Bla self- righteous stuff with the English .., your blest you got this far …, you you’ve had no real opposition .,,
But last time I looked England have made it to 4 RWC finals so far.
Typical paddy sore losers
That!
Salt is currently being applied to your wound my friend 🧂🇳🇿
History here has nothing to do with the Northern Hemisphere being absolute garbage at playing rugby in fact if you look at history it’ll tell all you need to know , Queen or no queen you suck !
Ah Bill that’s a typical uninformed pommie reply the Irish team represent all of Ierland including Northern Island You are the ignorant Dolt.
You know the Irish rugby team represents the island of Ireland not the country? Including the UK bit. And, King of where? England? Or UK? It’s always high risk to call someone you don’t know an ignorant, backward fool so I’ll just leave it there…
Thank you for your history but happy retirement and do not miss your flight 😂 who gives a f*** head of state crap. Run along to your king Bill Lad, mighty deez nuts in your mouth 😎🫣
Why are all of you Australians so worked up by this? I mean new zealand won, sure all of Australia (including the new zealand province) should just be happy with that.
If ye win the WC, make sure to show to your head of state too – the King of England.
Hahahaha calm down old bill mate 😂😂 4 more years buddy
Boring comment King Billy
Gee Bill … you really have taken the Ireland rugby defeat by the All Blacks pretty badly huh
Dont get too upset Bill … it was a excellent game of rugby… and rugby itself ( besides the All Blacks) was the real winner
I guess you were just a Irish supporter who dreamed big dreams and thought the cup was already won but just a little too soon
There is no disgrace in being beaten by the “most successful international sporting team in the world”
Even us Aussies are in awe of the All Blacks and that’s why the have held the Bledisloe Cup from us in Aussie for over 20 years
Some animals are more equal than others… I suppose.
Ireland isn’t in the UK, only a wee bit of it. Bit like me calling New Zealand a bit of Greater Australia 😉
New Zealand has never been part of Australia. As opposed to Northern Ireland was for a time part of the UK.
Just like the score, you cannot change history. And for the record Ireland before their last game were No 1 and rightly so. They also had a series win in NZ, BUT history again shows NZ have ranked No 1 in the world for more years than Sexton has been alive, and they are No1 again.
How many WRC titles do Ireland have ohbthats right nil.
there’s a difference doing it in the white heat of the match versus after the game. When the final whistle blows you’re meant to shake the oppo’s hand and buy your opposite number a beer. Rieko should take a leaf out of Siya’s book. But that’s OK you sweep the sheds cos you’re all about “values” when you’re players aren’t assaulting women or having affairs in airport toilets.
So New Zealand player are the only players to do this. Yes he did a dumb thing and got caught but I guess many other rugby player has been guilty of te same thing
But I just hope your past is squeaky clean ??
Follow SA’s lead? Elton Jantjies and the team dietician?
Don’t think they are squeaky clean.
Sexton and O’Mahoney dished it out in NZ last year.
Ireland is not part of the UK.
Shame your geography teachers are total and utter rubbish. But why waste money educating minions of the king of England and half your population is Māori who drop out of school at 12.
You also haven’t got a clue about Northern Ireland, there was a Good Friday agreement in 1998 where people in Northern Ireland can hold UK or Irish passport. Since Brexit over 95% of people in Norther Ireland have Irish passports to remain in the European Union.

Now go back to preserving he culture of New Zealand that we were shown in the movie Once were Warriors.
Get some perspective Tommo! it’s a game of rugby mate not a battle of who has the best functioning social welfare system.
The Irish are a superb rugby team and your supporters are second to none. You should celebrate an amazing game of rugby not have a crack at the social fabric of NZ, a country you have clearly never been too. twat
Your information is severely lacking, NZ only has 16% maori population. You base nz off of one fictional movie?
I find it ironic that in the irish rugby team, 3 players are NZ’ers and of those three 2 were your try scorers for the QF game.
Any way it seems you didnt come here to talk rugby …
You seem to be taking this Irish Rugby loss a little too personal and hard Tommy boy …it’s just a game (it’s in your head Zombie ) ….. you can have another crack in 4 years Tommy boy ….. and next time let’s hope Irish break the curse and get pass the 1/4 finals
I’m from Northern Ireland and you haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about.
Gee Tommy boy … you’re very upset about the result aren’t you?
Try and keep the debate about the rugby Tommy boy … and keep dreaming … I am sure Irish rugby will survive
You could possibly get help accepting defeat from English football players … who have also have failed at winning a world cup in there respective sport for well over 50 years …….. 4 more years Tommy boy …another 4 more years
But the English football team have won a world cup so they can’t help!
Lol… The UK. 😂🤣😂
The Irish rugby tean includes those from Northern Ireland, which, the last time I looked, is part of the UK. I’d be careful who you throw insults at, if I were you. And pethaps you could also acquire those history/geography books you spoke of for youself.
Still butt hurt about the loss Billy boyyy show your head of state the semi finals ohhh….. you lost 😂
Peter O’Mahoney can tell Sam Cane that he’s a sh*t Richie McCaw. That is OK. But Ioane may not wish Sexton a good flight home and a happy retirement. That is sacrilege of the highest order. Doesn’t he know Ireland rugby players are royalty?
All we have heard is the venomous disgraceful and disrespect comments coming from the Irish all World Cup and they have the audacity to whinge when it’s back at them. Go home ireland and learn some respect for other countries, as you are starting to emerge as a very unpopular and arrogant nation that respects nobody that’s in your path. Ps… I’m not a kiwi in from one of the home Nations.
As the song says: It’s in your head… in your heaaaad ! Zombies … Zombies 😂
People are now referring to you guys as the New England due to your arrogance.
Fantastic, first you diss the Irish, then the English….for dissing NZ and others.
See the irony in this, mate?
Classic All Blacks, scum
Settle down Neville Boy …(it’s only a game) …and there is normally a “R” in the word Scrum
And yes you are dead right …Ireland was beaten by a classic ALL BLACK team in the scrum (and in the line outs and finally on the scoreboard )
Come on Neville, it’s a game and you’re tarring millions with the same brush.
Look to the eastern Mediterranean for an idea of where that thinking can lead….
This annoys me because sledging is part and parcel of sport, but so is respect. Once that final whistle goes you show respect to the oppo, regardless of your thoughts. Yes, Sam is a s*#t Ritchie Mckaw, only because the guy was such a legend. Johnny is also a legend. Let’s not cry about what was a momentous game. Well done Jordie Barrett you just booked your country a place on the semis 👏
Stop being biased. Sexton is well known for his own banter and has been quick to make comments when winning. This is still a “heat of the moment” comment from Rikeo.
In my book Sexton is a Sh*t Ronan O’Gara.
110 years to beat the All Blacks, then a few good wins. Now with Dad’s army retiring you might have a
long wait to get the next one.
So Tommo obviously doesn’t realise when he insults New Zealanders that 2 of his beloved Irish team are Kiwis, and scored their only tries!
As a scot living in England if England win the rwc I will congratulate them but I think South Africa will be to strong for them and believe it will be new zealand in final and South Africa will win it but the posts should be about 2 brilliant matches not the sour grapes about Ireland getting defeated by a good not brilliant new zealand team and your big egos showed you weren’t the best team in the world
Funny how that works isn’t it?😂😂😂
As a Scotsman, I would normally barrack for the Irish when Scotland get knocked out, but this time I was shouting for the All blacks. The Irish were too bullish, too cocky and too dismissive of the NZ squad and some of the rhetoric that came out of the Irish camp prior to this RWC was (frankly) over the top!
Well played NZ and incidentally England have been telling the world how shit they are just by their performances on the field! 🤣
Well said Craig omahoney was slating the Scot’s after the game and making some cheap comments very childish
You all sound like football supporters….what has happened to the Rugby fans of my youth….
I love top rugby. I prefer Association Football but games like the two wonderful QFs last weekend were a pleasure to watch.
The snark, the score-settling, the irrelevant “debating points” and whaboutery here makes for a charmless read.
Would you all grow up and leave the resentments ON the pitch: the game of rugby is diminished by this truly puerile “debate” which makes me hope you mpst bitter commenters here are under 10 years old. If not, many of you have some growing up to do!
“ As a dual citizen of Ireland and England I disassociate myself from this drivel. Stick to the rugby and park your bigotry at the door.”
Saw this comment and was just wondering if anyone knows how this is possible, ir is it one of those old unsolvable riddles?
😂😂🤷🏻♂️
There’s no such thing as English citizenship
As an Englishman I love humour and banter. My favourite in this context is one George Chadzy told me ending “The Welsh are the Irish who couldn’t swim but an Englishman didn’t exist until one of them swam back and fucked a pig..”
As soon as I saw who the Ref was I knew that Ireland would lose!
Whenever Wayne Barnes referees a game in which Ireland is playing he’ll go out of his way to award penalties against them which aren’t referred for re-looks at the incidents. He just can’t help himself in his bigotry. He should be investigated
, all his decisions that went against Ireland and removed from either refereeing Ireland games or best solution – expelled from refereeing all together.
What? You had 20 mins playing against only 14 men, with NZ’s first yellow card being very dubious. How could you say the ref was biased against Ireland!
I will just stick to reading comments, really enjoying the humour and banter in all comments though.
Looks like the Irish can dish it out but cry when they wop it back. Good – suck it up – 4 more years boys.
