Well feic, that scoreline does not reflect the effort... Black Ferns defence was immense! Almost precog the way they read passes. Great periods of pressure from Ireland (10 mins each half) but we never capitalised. Still wonderful day, bumped into someone who played rugby with my uncle, met some fans we chatted to yesterday. As still to play for as Ireland have QF next week. Lovely day out - get thee to women's rugby!

It’s hard to say, but Ireland just shouldn’t have even tried on this one. They were advancing from the group stage anyway, and the injuries sustained are not going to help moving forward. #rugby #rwc2025 #NZLvIRE

A tough day at the office for Ireland.

The backline just couldnt cope with a really good NZ side, both with and without the ball. Dalton was a standout though.
I thought we made more impact with our big ball-carriers than out wide.

Onwards and upwards!

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

'73 Yeah it was a knock on, but it should barely count IMO lol

Stop it, Ireland! Your maul is not strong enough! Do something else! #rugby #rwc2025 #NZLvIRE

'65 I think we've learned from those phases that Ireland aren't going to score today  

Ferns defense too good

'58 I think NZL got a bit lucky on that one-handed offload, but a good try.

'51 👀 👀 👀

What a difference a bounce makes. No try, scrum to NZL in Ireland's half

Well, the half time talk seems to have worked for Ireland. Really hope they get it over the line soon
