    Irish man here. Don’t get carried away with media hype and stupid fans, real rugby fans have complete respect and admiration for the ABs. This rivalry, albeit short, is something we could only dream of. Irish rugby has come a long way and can now challenge the best. The Haka will light up the Aviva tonight and we will see two teams of warriors go to battle 🇮🇪 🏉 🇳🇿 Eire Abú

    Irish man living in Aus here,
    So much to say about this video. Firstly great viewing, reliving the WC game knowing the result I still get chills.
    Not sure if countries like SA, France and Ireland have lifted their game to match ABs or maybe the Foster era will want to be forgotten amongst kiwis. (Should have gone for Rennie).
    When ireland won in Dublin after Chicago, that was huge too.
    As for Chicago win there's a great photo of Paul O'Connell and Dougie Howlett celebrating together at FT, pure class.
    That WC was so lob sided though, ABs v Ireland and SA v France should have been the semis.
    Long live this rivalry

      It's a hard one, whilst the Fozzie era had moments to forget, that quarter final was next level and he was 1 point (and a few poor calls) away from a world cup. I think Ireland has stepped up over the last few years & France has become more consistent, it's just more teams that can challenge us. It's a good thing.

    The rivalry intensified in the Autumn internationals 2016. Ireland had beaten the ABs for the first time in Chicago and the ABs responded with can only be described as as thuggery in a revenge win in Dublin. SEXTON,Henshaw, CJ Stander were all taken out , Hensgaw with a tackle by Kane that would be a straight red today. I actually believe Irish rugby lost some of their respect to the ABs that day ( if you don’t believe me, read the match report ) as prior to this the ABs were Irelands second favourite team.

    For me it started in Christchurch 2012. yes were upset ability o’Driscoll thing but we got over. The Christchurch game where the penalty went the wrong way and we got close made us realise that we could do it. it’s still very weird for me is an Irish fun seeing New Zealanders give us praise because when I was growing up I used to watch players like Joe Rokocoko and sivivatu. And wish we had players who could play like that.

    ABs consistently the greatest rugby team in history, respect for the masters of the game, Ireland will never underestimate these titans of the game. ABs brought the sport to a new heights. Ask any under 10 playing rugby in an Irish school who is the best team in the world and they will answer the ABs, with the dream of one day wearing the green jersey to play the best team in the world, and the belief that with the right system, precision, tactics, and controlled ferocity they can actually be beaten by precise calm skill.

    Pretty glaring how the 2016 Dublin revenge mission is glossed over here. That made the rivalry turn sour for a lot of people and was not a good look for the All Blacks. Beaten fair and square in Chicago, and then resorted to thuggery two weeks later. Should have been about three red cards. It has turned into a great rivalry, but that match shows the ugly side of it.

If Refs could call the offside on the All Blacks just like in Paris , we would win more , Remember The All Blacks get all the calls from Refs , there like Barcelona with Messi Untouchables because there the Global Marketing Face of the Game , they get all the calls , so you have to beat the ref too when playing New Zealand!!!!

      Get Grammerly, you muppet. "Rivalry" is how it is spelt. "Birth" should give you a clue dung for brains. It is a new phenomenon. But, best get used to it. The Saffas dumped your league and joined the URC for a reason. Since the professional era, Ireland dumped the English model. It went full-on with the Southern Hemisphere rugby model, focusing on the national team coming first, proper professional training regime, and getting a top-notch fitness level and skill set. This is the reason why there is a rivalry.

The New Zealand Herald has six articles written in the last week. One of them is practically a thesis. It’s that long you can have short term arrival to settle there’s no legacy rivalry between these two countries at all but bringing up World Cups is just ridiculous. Ireland only became good at rugby about five or six years ago there was no expectations other than that if you were that bothered you wouldn’t of wrote the comment in the first place rugby is not the be all and end all in Ireland, hurling and Gaelic football and soccer and then probably, horse racing and golf
