Hard luck. You were the better side. SA brutal and haunted to win. Ox made the difference.

Fair play England. Taken SA way off scheme. Boks have shit the bed here.

Joe Joyce already announced himself in Galway:

Boks unchanged. I think it'd be England's best-ever win if they did it given the respective strength of both sides. I can see the Boks' bench making a big difference. Some terrifying men there.

Quick word for one of my favourite players too. Keith Earls confirmed his retirement today. An unbelievable player for Munster and Ireland for so long. I'd have loved him to stay on for one more year, but he goes out after helping Munster win our first trophy in 12 years, healthy and on his own terms. It could be worse. One of our all-time greats.

He has nothing on Peter Stringer though

Was definitely legal. I'd say they practiced that. Ridiculous speed from Kolbe. Once Ramos makes that first little movement towards the ball, he's gone.

I don't think so. Some calls that looked iffy on first glance but nothing out of the ordinary. O'Keefe didn't let in those tries.

Speaking for Ireland, rugby union is at best the fourth most popular sport after Gaelic football, hurling and football. Them's the breaks. I thought O'Keefe had a good game overall to be fair.

Remember that charged-down conversion? Fine margins.

Four brilliant QFs. Some guts from SA to win that. Just an unbelievable game.

I think the level of impact will also come into play. Eben tried to get low and almost got too low. I'd be surprised to see a red based on what we've seen but who knows.

Think it'll stay at yellow based on what we've seen in the last few weeks. What a half. So good that I almost don't care about last night any more.

Whoever wins this will surely win the lot. These are the two best sides.

We've had some great matches but not seen anything like this yet imo.

This is unbelievable. Pity it's only a QF.

Don't know if I'm the only Ireland fan on here, but I thought we'd lose to SA in the group and France in the QF so don't look at me

Fiji really unlucky. Raynal rode them at the breakdown. Another brilliant game. Been an amazing World Cup so far.

The laws just say that a player may not intentionally throw the ball forward. I thought both passes were pretty flat but both came out of the hands backwards and both tries were fine.

No it isn't but we were so below-par. We went away from what worked for us and didn't use our bench properly. I might feel differently in the morning but eight QF losses will do that to you. We should have won that and found a way not to. Don't know how else to describe it.

Too many of our big players didn't turn up. We nearly won without a set piece and with brutal half backs. I say we bottled it because if we'd been even at 80% we'd have won easily. Not saying the effort wasn't there, just not the quality. NZ had us in the scrum and on the gain line. Fair play to them. I'm repeating myself but I'm absolutely gutted. So deflating to get that performance in a QF again. This team should've won that handily.

Agreed. We had more than enough to win that. We went down fighting but underperformed when it mattered again.

Sexton has form. Barnes isn't my cup of tea but it's our job to keep him out of the game. We beat ourselves tonight. Too many went missing. Half backs and set piece killed us. Might sound harsh but it's another QF bottled. Fair play to NZ.

We killed ourselves. I'm absolutely gutted.

If we sort out our lineout, we'll win this. We've given them all their points.
