Very sad for Ireland who once again fail to go further than quarterfinals but damn that was amazing to watch!

We've choked in the past. This was not a choke, this was two of four exceptional teams going hammers and tongs - the matches between Ireland, France, South Africa and New Zealand the last 18 month or so have simply been among the best matches there have every been.

 

Heartbreaking, but there's no shame in a one score loss in that match.

It absolutely was a choke. They had a man advantage for a quarter of the game! Sure, NZ defended superbly, but the game was there to be won by Ireland and, again, couldn’t do it when it was most needed

It really wasn't. They got the points during that advantage. Being held up over the line and an astonishing last 37 phases where the difference. It was bitterly disappointing, but it wasn't a choke. Or else the word choke has no real meaning.

They didn’t score in the second period with 14 men. Taylor was yellow carded in the incident that led to Ireland getting the penalty try. There was 15 minutes left in the game and Ireland were one point behind

 

They didn’t score again. In fact it was NZ who added 3 points in that 10 minutes.

    • pdr4332   Explain to me what this Ukraine thing is all about? Isn't this just another Orban tactic to focus on this before the elections, instead of discussing, for example, the fact that during the 16 years of VO's rule in Budapest, Hungary's GDP has fallen from the level of Poland/Czech Republic in 2010 to under Romania's? Does anyone in Hungary still fall for this, because it seems like something like this happens every 4 years: Soros, Brussels, now Ukraine and who will be next

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been that`s case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.
