NZ v Ireland

The Irish were talking like it was a done deal. Goes to show, when you come up against the best you need to pipe down. 2 yellow cards for the AB's and they still closed it out, some team.
 
Most were saying the tournament is Ireland’s to lose.

Well they’ve just done so. Didn’t even make the semi final again.
 
First NZ try scored by a player called Leicester Faingokolu
His full name is Leicester Ofa Ki Wales Twickenham Fainga'anuku.

Apparently his dad played for Tonga in the 1999 Rugby World Cup including when they beat Italy at Welford Road. He decided to name his son (born just after the tournament) after places he had played … not sure where Ofa Ki is ???

I know it sounds stupid but I have genuinely not made that up!
 
Good job he wasn't more specific about where in Leicester.

Let's face it Cort Crescent Brauny Fainga'anuku is pushing it a bit..........
