No delight, just a reality check that we were never going to beat the All-Blacks, we hoped to be on the other side of the draw and hope someone would knock them out.

This team rose to great heights but have been in decline for over a year.  Today was a low ebb in terms of errors and lack of belief.  Arguably the weakest team to reach the quarters it turned out.  It will take some shine off the Schmidt era, but we got a bit ahead of ourselves to be honest.

Wales-France definitely have the two best anthems with both team and fans singing it. Which, as the collective Irish rugby media let us know yesterday, is what really matters.

That was very enjoyable yesterday to see the nation's darlings flop once again and in humiliating circumstances.

I think this really sums up your average Irish rugby follower, getting hammered in the last minutes on the biggest stage of the game, in a tournament had so much expectation of and everyone is smiling and waving frantically about it.

Deep down, nobody really cares, you didn't see any sad, dejected faces in the crowd yesterday - it's merely a social outing.

France's inability to capitalise when they were on top in the first half with the extra man is what ultimately cost them. They actually played brilliantly after going down and really frustrated Wales.

The red card was particularly moronic for someone who's 6'7. Kind of difficult to hide it.

The camera angles have been very good this World Cup.  I saw some of the tries on the analysis there and it's super.

Camera above the pitch is very good.

I thought forward passes in Rugby were not allowed? Japan seem to do that a lot.

Noticed that myself, I think in one play there was 3 forward passes

Thought that myself. There has been a multitude of forward passing in this competition.

Looking ahead to the next 4 year cycle Ireland and their new coaches will need to develop Carberry into a world class #10 which I am sure he has the ability to be with sexton hitting 38 in 2023 he probably won't be much more than a bit part player if even. We also need a new #9 whether thats gonna be McGrath who is definatley able to lead the new team or someone coming from the u20 squads of previous years.

Carberry not good enough, there has to be a better player to go with.
