Definitely the key moment I think.
Having digested the game overnight I left with the impression that Ireland were the stronger team but New Zealand had the better individuals and those individuals had moments that won the game for them.
Quite something.
Gutted. Hit the whiskey hard after that.
ABs deserved to win on the night, but such fine margins. Top 4 teams are so far ahead of the rest and could all beat each other on any given night 
Fiji need a place kicker.
Yeah just not when it really matters. Ireland have never been beyond the 1/4 finals. Thatâs a poor record.
They would have done this year if they had been drawn in pool C or D. It was simply a literal case of the luck of the draw.
Probably, still doesnât excuse their poor record previously. And their inability to win the games that really matter. Still got a slight inferiority compplex against the SH sides.
If the draw was different they still might have ended up with tough quarter final opponents. Nothing is a given as Wales found out yesterday.
Even now Iâm wondering where the Fiji weâve seen earlier this year and even in this tournament is.
Yeah, I thought theyâd reach the final this time round. Another sweep prediction gone to pot.
Iâm not very good at sweeps or rugby predictions.
Marcus Smith not such a pretty boy now 
Here they come at last.
Very similar dynamic to our game against them. England responding well so farâŚkeeping their heads better than we did
Ben Earle is a fucking BEAST!!
Fiji were a bit slap-happy werenât they, felt like they got away with a lot of snide hits
If that had been Bruno Fernandes, it wouldâve improved his looks.
Yeah, I equally thought England got away with a few things in the breakdown too. A couple of scrum penalties never happened either for some reason.
But I donât think it changed the result. England were better in the breakdown and line out in particular. Fiji werenât allowed to get a good consistent ruck platform to build from and their structure didnât allow them to adjust to it. The England back and second rows turned up today.
England in the world cup semi finals. Whoâd have thought it 2 months ago? I certainly didnât.
England have a remarkable world cup history of making runs when not fancied. I think in both 07 and 19 they were a long way from being among the best 2 sides in the world yet they found themselves in a final both times, and neither time did they luck it out to get there. They beat arguably teams by just executing on the day.
They havenât played a team in top 10 yet. Total fluke of a draw and they still struggled against Samoa and Fiji.
Laughed out loud at Woodward saying they are ready for France or SA. Gonna get absolutely smashed
No argument with that. Weâve massively underperformed in previous world cups. This year weâve been great. Just happened to face the ABs in the QF, and prob would have won but for a heroic âheld upâ by Barrett. Fine margins
Still laughing. Woodward is comedy gold fair play to him
PS I hope this doesnât come back to bite me on the bottom.
This is some fucking game here. Just on another level than England are playing at
