#NZLvIRE is incredibly low quality fayre, it has to be said.
If this is what international rugby union is dressing up as some kind of showcase nowadays, then the sport is in more trouble than I thought. Worrying times.
That is a terrible call! Canโt believe it was upgraded to red. #NZLvIRE
7am on a Saturday. My little piece of happiness ๐ฎ๐ช๐

Life is pain #NZLvIre
40-0 very harsh result scoreline.
Still again, there were some greenshoots there. Plenty to work on and with ahead of QF stage.
Kiwi defence was very organised and they didnโt panic. Some bench theyโve got too.
Toujours en avant ๐ช
#NZLvIRE
Well, that was quite a defeat. Ireland held to nil by New Zealand. Ireland had some good attacks, but couldn't complete them. I thought the Black Ferns would win, but not like that! #NZLvIRE #RWC2025
It's... They're just in a different class altogether.
I enjoyed watching IRE play, but NZL had an answer for Everything, and played their own game.
Gutted for IRL, they didn't deserve that, but NZL were on ๐ฅ
#NZLvIRE
Ok, I can't take any more than 78 mins of this
#NZLvIRE
Completely empty short side in that last maul. Not a bit of heads up rugby on show #NZLvIRE
Lots of good stuff to take from the match for Ireland here, but no points on the board is frustrating #NZLvIRE #WRWC25 #RUGBY #COYGIG
I think I finally understand this thing about the "Ireland" rugby team using that song Ireland's Call as an anthem. Ireland doesn't have a national rugby team. I never fully appreciated that. It makes sense to me now.
#NZLvIRE #WRWC25
I was 12 the first time I saw a New Zealand team in the flesh & I just could not compute how quickly & skilfully the ball went through their hands, their basics were just from another planet. There are kids in Brighton today who are seeing the same thing. Plus รงa change #NZLvIRE
Oh darn. #NZLvIre
Quarter-finals mode now.
Both sides.
Everyone in competitive positions playing for starting spots next round.
Some rise to that challenge as a team player. Others tend to primarily see themselves.
Always interesting to watch unfold.
Kiwis definitely showing up as a unit currently.
#NZLvIRE
My two cents.
Ireland need to bring on Lane to have any chance.
We need more snap and spread from the half backs.
#NZLvIRE
#RWC25.
I donโt know if itโs just the consequence of Ireland being second best in almost all pets of the game and having to work so, so hard to just not be totally overrun but there genuinely does feel like something of the old New Zealand invisibility cloak in some of the officiating here #NZLvIRE
Injury profile for the quarters is a concern #NZLvIRE
New Zealand clearly the better side but how you miss a knock on 2 metres from the try line by an offside player is bizarre.
#NZLvIRE
#WRWC
Ireland were causing New Zealand problems early in the game but the Black Ferns figured out how to open up the defence. Stacey Flood injury is a big concern.
Not a must win game, but for the second half it's a must not get hammered or pick up more injuries.
#NZLvIRE #WRWC25
Current mood. #NZLvIRE
Brighton was a great choice for a tournament stadium.
Great crowd. Great pitch.
And a perfect example of why tournaments anywhere need travelling Irish there.
RWC2023. This RWC. What we add is that carnival atmosphere hosts pray for.

Missed tackles lose matchesโฆ๐คทโโ๏ธ
#NZLvIRE
I fear this could get ugly... We've had absolutely no luck with decisions and injuries with heads visibly dropping. There are few better teams to punish that #NZLvIRE
Everyone cheering the adorable baby in the Irish jersey has been a highlight #NZLvIRE
