We probably didnāt deserve it after this
TheUlteriorMotive: BruidheanChaorthainn:Can see New Zealand going like 20-3 up here and us bringing it back to like 20-11 with ten minutes to go before running out of gas.
You sound like you need a line of optimism.
Last time I felt like this was croker 2019. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach before the nightmare unfolded.
Well I get plenty of stick but I fairly called that game.
Very similar to Limerick v Kilkenny in 2019.
We started slow and clawed it back but just fell short.
Henry Martin needs to write a book here.
Sextons miss was huge. And he couldnāt wag. Killer. They will never have a better chance of winning one.

Doris dropping that fucking ball will haunt for a while.
Joe Schmidt masterclass

Well done New Zealand. Scored three phenomenal tries tonight.
You canāt be giving the All Blacks a 13 point start
I think the losing bonus point could be crucial in the rankings
