Josephine Boyd Fantastic performance from our boys in green a great win ☘️💚🏈💪💪👍👏
Alastair McDermott You have to be a little bit worried playing New Zealand in the quarterfinals. But just think: they are shitting it facing Ireland.
Angela Cassin Jackson Simply brilliant ☘️☘️☘️
Christy O’Connor What a performance, every player played their part. Ringrose was motm for me but so many put their hands up. Scotland were giving too much respect before this game by so many pundits. Was never in doubt
Kevin Kelehan Dan Sheehan was superb
Antoinette Nevin Zombie 👏👏👏👏
Hubert Gallagher Scotland outclassed. Hopefully injuries not too serious to Hansen, Lowe, Furlong and Ryan. 1 week to prepare for ABs! Another huge step up!

Thanks be to jaysus we have 2 weeks off Let’s get everyone together for all the games going forward. That was magic. Our parents / grandparents never had that moment.
Andrew Potts
It was some match, take a few days to process that one.
Amazing SA power and physical
ity and amazing resilience by Ireland. Cough up 6 lineouts and not looked phased by big South African forwards.
Kevin Kelehan
Ireland made so many mistakes, but they have a clear winning mentality, between O’Connell and Farrell you have the two parts of winning, coolness and passion.
Pieter Smit (SA fan)
Well played Ireland. Deserved winners
I can't speak.
One of the most tense games against two totally equal sides.
To my SA friends, the rounds on me when we cross paths. You're an incredible team and a set of fans to match
In a way I wish I wasn't so invested in that game so I could enjoy it for the incredible test match it was between two of the best teams in the world #IREvRSA
