great stuff 👊

Done

Bro, I swear, it doesn't because the stakes aren't even nearly as high. Just because Ireland don't really beat the AB's, for them it's a world cup final. They haven't won one and won't for at least the next 10 years. But yea. The greatest contest in world rugby that could compete with a RWC final is a springbok AB's game. That's the greatest contest in rugby. The rest of the world must just watch. 6 RWC trophies between them.

@@happysaffa8871 Touched a nerve there. He was talking about atmosphere you weirdo

@@cormacogara no, just educating the masses. Thanks though, being a weirdo is the best 😂

@@happysaffa8871 In SA and NZ rugby is the national sport. In Ireland rugby is barely as popular as fishing and nowhere near as popular as Football (soccer),Hurling or Gaelic Football. Though it has increased in popularity in the last 10 years. When Ireland embrace Rugby properly they will be a force to be reckoned with!

So true

Less competition among Gaelic supporter wise but more with football

I didn't think I see an Irish team beat the All Blacks in New Zealand in my lifetime

@@Neowinsnyper They did too, last year.

It hurts as an ABs fan but it's also great to eat some humble pie. People need to wake up in NZRU and realise that this just isn't working with the current set up!

Ireland was incredible. Nothing but respect in NZ.

We are only a Real Powerhouse when we win a World Cup!!!

The all blacks played well we have to wait until the World cup

@@oscarosullivan4513 As an Aussie I'll never right off the mighty All Black's they have been a dominant force in world Rugby for so long. But, It's also great for world Rugby to see other nations step up to challenge them though. Cheers

👍 🏉 🇮🇪🇳🇿

Good call about O'Mahony.

@Paddy le Blanc well said. Since I was a kid we always looked up the the ABs and I loved watching them play. Beautiful rugby and to see us beat them and win a whole series down there.. just lost for words really. Wish my old man was here to see it, we went to most games together but he never got to see us beat them. Thats why I cried when we did it in NZ, there's a lot of emotion for a lot of people with that win. And the ABs are good sports and understand in a way what it means to us Irish.

I'd rather see pom crying that playing for us. Overhyped work shy shirker. I don't think mouthing is a rugby skill. There are better players in munster even . He'll do 20% of the tackles and carries of each of Doris and vdF and still get subbed because "he has given his all" 🤣🤣 that old unseen work is sure tiring...

Connor murrary destroyed the AB every time

Oh they definitely are and long may it continue!

We only need to get over our greatest enemy........ World cup semi final 😭

Surely it’ll happen next year. At least they’re used to winning clutch games now and know what it takes

@@jacobking3211 In the beginning was the word. And the word was with God and the word was God.

Currently the Irish are getting it toghter with a decent coaching squad at last. They need some more depth in their forwards, a couple of O’Connalls would do the trick 😊…… On on to thé grand slam and à RWC win 🏆 …… just saying 😎 !

Haha you are a menace to the NZ society mate. Good on ya though, return all the shit that they've given you over the years...

I lived there in 2012 and it was the opposite feeling 😭

so you should! Respect for Ireland in NZ.

Ireland are a serious team nowadays.

I'm paddy I love your comment fare douce

It’s great isn’t it Joe! So much goes on in the background which sometimes we don’t appreciate, but this video just shows what years of hard work and improving can do. Go Ireland!

And its the present of Irish Rugby, that makes it even better

They're great and deserve all the praise they are getting. Couldn't be happier for them

Let's take a few games and play only Ireland trys and use the word "Dominate" the All Blacks. We'll settle for losing some games in between drinks and won't mention the one's history records Ireland have lost to the All Blacks. As with many teams you all have a long way to square the ledger, against the All Blacks. Gotta start somewhere I suppose. We may not be dominant, but we dominate the win statistics against all Countries on this planet. Would like to think we're going to waltz in and win our 4th Rugby World Cup but it don't work that way, and sure our South African buddies would have something to say about that. We don't mind being under dogs. Suits us fine. Great game Ireland, Our Sports commentators called it right, "Deserved winner's"

@@richardmatatahi4563 Exactly. Good on Ireland and good to see they’re winning, but it seems some people need to look up the meaning of dominate. It was close, no dominating. In fact of the eight games which the AB’s only won three, they scored more points than the Irish. 182 to the Irish, 201 to New Zealand. Definitely no dominating. Some tough close wins for Ireland and two big wins for new Zealand where they dominated in the scoreboard. Good to see the competition getting tougher and closer, but clearly no dominating going on.

All most@@steuartmoore9183 add it up from 2013 and the 22-24 come from behind All Black win and the stats will say 4-5 to Ireland. I'll start it from there, it was the last win before Ireland won their 1st against the All Blacks which started a win/loss sequence broken by Ireland's 3rd Test, and Series win. That's remembering we own the stats before then. But it will give a true indicator that things are closer than many Irish fans think. We are chasing to square it up next time.

I don't speak French , however Im pretty sureI know what you said, mercy, Dia duit (thank you -as Gaeilge)

@@Paulfieldz You welcome, you can, I wrote a big tribute to the irish team ; I've been supporting and loving the Green Army for more than 20 years : I thank all these men for the great moments and beautiful victories we lived thanks to them !

Thanks so much Mark!

They are nearly flawless at the moment. Don’t tell me they’ve peaked too early please!!

@@rugbydrive we pray they've got alot more in the tank to perfection ..

Keep Sexton injury free for a year and they are cooking with gas...

I'm predicting a Springbok v France final next year. If the Irish had a backup flyhalf as good as Sexton I would probably say it could even be a France v Ireland final. The Irish are a great side but Sexton gives them that edge, he adds a little bit of magic that is not there when he is absent. He is 36 now, don't know if he would make it all the way through to the final from today.

Thanks for the feedback!

With a good referee,for example MR O'Keefe who didn't biased the result,the French would have been closer on the scoreboard,I didn't say they won but closer for sure.This afternoon the French distroyed England in Twickenham by a margin of 43 points.A slaughter!!!!!!Next week you'll receive them,maybe for another one.Only a miracle will give us a victory in this current six nations.

@@photoclubmouansois Ireland beat France in a great game. Irish pressure was too much for France, especially after 65 min, France faded. And today Ireland beat Scotland, even though they lost five players to injury. Ireland are playing great rugby, they are relentless and their fitness levels are amazing. Next week Ireland have a great chance to win the grandslam, but it will be tough. France are a great team and will be favorites for the WC, but Ireland are the best team in this Six Nations.

😂

Yep they have been incredible. With a name like that I assume you're welsh?

They look like a very well drilled side, and long May it last

The issue is to get to a RWC semi final, let alone the final, Ireland will have to beat at least two of South Africa, Scotland, France, or New Zealand. Ireland won't fear any of those teams, but it's going to be difficult.

@@jerryhiggins7557 Yes true that. When there's one or two more northern Hem teams firing the tournament just opens up so much.

I’d skip the next year of mine to watch it tomorrow 😂 genuinely can’t wait!

I can't wait to see the Springboks in the Six Nations.

@@karawhiua2575 ?

Last match against Tonga was in 2019, what are y talking about

I'm actually an All Blacks supporter as I was born there, but watching these Irish victories makes me so proud and happy for them. Hopefully they can back it up in the World Cup because they thoroughly deserve it. The brand of rugby is brilliant and reminds me of some old All Blacks teams actually.

@@rugbydrive Yep, we're loving it. Best rugby Ireland has ever played. We're a lot better now than under Joe Schmidt..... Albeit Joe laid the groundwork.

Thanks so much Mike! The music is called Gravitated by Edgar Hopp

It's crazy how the perception has shifted. Only in the last decade Ireland got thumped in NZ by more than 60 points...

Beating the All Blacks in 2016 definitely made a massive impact as Ireland had no longer the title of never beating the All blacks, hanging over there head, then 2018, beating them at home and 2022 beating them in New Zealand, these games have taken a bit of that pressure off Ireland. The last one to go is to beat NZ in a world cup game. All I want, for the WC next year is for Ireland to get rid of the constant "we bottle it at World Cup" chant and just play the best WC ever. Don't know about winning it but just have the best tournament than previous. The way we are playing is mesmerizing to watch but what the tour has shown is though we are playing well and some beautiful rugby, we still have a lot more to improve on. Need to be more clinical

@@rugbydrive it was 60-0 if I remember correctly, I was living in Wellington at the time..... my god that was embarrassing going to work on the Monday 🤦‍♂️ with a Maori as a boss 😭

Big call Scott! Mines either on them or France to be fair. But then again SA could bring the heat too

Hi Henry! It’s called Gravitated by Edgar Hopp. It’s available on epidemic sound if you have an account on there. Glad you like it my friend!

Thanks mate! Haha I actually did this on purpose not gonna lie. In my experience with videos, non capitalised titles work better but who knows!

It's looking veeeery juicy. Wish I could just fast forward to that game

Of course it would Brenda, and as a New Zealander I would love to make that video haha. It was cool though to see how a side like Ireland has matured over recent years to become so bloody good!

@@rugbydrive Yeah and thank goodness we’ve finally had a few positives. I still cry thinking about 2013.

As an ABs fan that was such a good game to watch hahaha. Oh how the tables have turned...

It wouldn't be in hd though

@@IntrogamerX your hoping it wouldn't, would already be painful on your eyes without hd.

A bloody good one I must say mate!

In hindsight definitely! Tricky to ever see this coming at the time though, even with the previous games in mind. What a dominant Irish series indeed

@@rugbydrive saying that, I didn't feel the need to put on an easy bet on odds of Ireland winning series. All Blacks winning aura is deep. :)

@@rockandmeatroll for a good reason. Rugby in NZ is like GAA in Ireland.

Impressive that Ireland is number 1 in a sport which isn’t the most popular in the country

Yep, that aura has disappeared though hasn’t it. I’m hoping it will come back some day hahaha

Very good analysis John, love it. You are right, sometimes rugby is a simple game. Smash the opposition down the middle and score tries, easy!

Thanks Kevin mate

We need to shake things up a bit. Change the coaching staff and drill the team to work harder than that last performance against Ireland. Talent is there but direction and game plan is nowhere at the moment unfortunately :(

Unfortunately Ireland tend to peak at times which don't coincide with the RWC.

Famously yes, could change though 🤞

What do you need by donor? I’m not familiar with the term

Between the lame coach and a player drain I am not so sure. Rugby has been dropping in popularity in NZ for years now. Basketball is a bigger spectator sport than rugby and Rugby League has been growing for years. I've been watching the NRL and it is really exciting and gripping. Union just don't have players like Carter and McCaw anymore. From that generation you can name an entire squad of household names (Conrad Smith, Maa Nonu, etc, etc), who can you name from this one? Beauden Barret and Brodie Retallick? Retallick is injured and Barrett seems a bit off, especially being played out of position regularly. If they did something drastic, sure they might return to the old days but I am just not seeing it. This is even considering they might win in SA 2-0 or get a 1-1 result. They're lucky that they're mainly playing the small unions on their end of year tour. It's funny I am seeing Irish, French and Bok supporters all happy for them to retain Ian Foster. Lol. If they fire Foster and put in Scott Robertson they've got a chance, doesn't seem like Robertson wants the job right now though or Foster would be gone already. He wants to take over after the World Cup so he can build his own team instead of getting lumped with a bad set of players and too little time to make a difference.

I think some teams just decided to pour money into their domestic game, build resources and increase the popularity and now we are seeing where that leads some teams like Ireland and France. It's just a case of them catching up. Ireland do look great and are very clinical - sport is in their DNA, they even have sports unique to them unlike most other countries that have copied sports from overseas. But France look like they will be the dominant team for a generation, they have some stars that look absolutely incredible!

@@Martin-pb7ts nope the talent is there!

It's not mine for sure but it could happen.

The All Black jersey is full of pride and legacy. They’ll be back for sure, maybe not under this management system but they’ll be back.

Too long hence why I didn’t make it! It’s nice to see a video where an “underdog” team actually gives some payback to a team which has been so so good over a century don’t you think?

It just shows what can happen when other countries take rugby seriously. It is no longer a cinderella sport in the Northern hemisphere.

@@raymonddixon7603 I’d go as far as saying the force is finally North.

Such an interesting question isn’t it? Most of their recent great games were built around him and I’m not sure Joey Carbery has what it takes at the moment. This upcoming year is huge for Ireland to see if they can finally perform at a World Cup

I agree with you completely. But Ireland are in a great place

I agree , I only hoping the France at home being expected to win the competition brings added pressure.. let’s see how they cope with that pressure.

@@moc7323 As a french supporter, I totally agree, we are pretty sure to to to the QF so the pressure plus the fact that we will be facing Ireland or SA could really make us loose the game

I agree. Whenever Sexton has been absent they have struggled. Carberry just doesn't seem to have the same kind of impact on the game.

You like those hakas dont lie they give your misses goosebumps.

Totally agree, it's ridiculous to think we've never progressed past the last eight, serious under performance, we are capable of winning it with this team.

@Jay M For Ireland there is 2 possible trophies they can win worth anything, the 6 nations and World Cup. Ireland win the 6 nations regularly against the best teams in Europe but to be up there with the top teams like NZ, SA, England, Australia they need to win or at least make a final of the World Cup. So ultimately for Ireland the World Cup is the be all and end all. We want success at the highest level and this is standard we need to strive for.

@@kenoneill8783 2015 was our year but we hadn't the depth to deal with the unfortunate injuries.

I agree. It’s the forwards who win you the match at the end of the day. Ireland are just too dominant and skill full at the moment to compete with

@@rugbydrive the all blacks and the springboks in recent years had a very powerful forward pack gives there back space I've noticed that now it's evening out this the best era for for European rugby

True true, but I’d say that ABs forwards have never been as hard as some of these northern hemisphere teams. Apart from maybe McCaw, Kaino, and Collins that is

@@rugbydrive some off the Irish forwards furlonghe etc could go through a brick wall

Furlong has eaten too many potatoes and has now turned into a potato himself. A very strong and skilfull potato
