If not now, when? Questions will haunt Ireland after heartbreaking loss

The world’s No 1 side have done virtually everything right but in this quarter-final’s intangible moments, New Zealand prevailed

I'm personally holding Matt Dawson responsible for everything that's happened today https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/67049106 #rwc2023 #IRLvNZ #WALvARG

In small pieces here watching #IRLvNZ . Feels like we're making errors at the same rate as we did against RSA, if we sort that out, and stop ockong away possession, we just might nudge ahead in the last 20.. #rwc2023

Few thoughts on this weekend's rugby:

1. Big weekend for Ireland. Getting two good performances on Fri & Sat would be huge for RWC prep. Facing up to the power of SA, and getting the A team in a groove would be massive for the psyche of the team. Big coaching challenge to prep two teams in one week, and builds depth really well
