We didn't turn up like we should have.
We looked tired and leggy.
Sexton looked busted and we could have done with a bit more creativity from the half backs.
Compare NZ in play kicking to ours especially when it came to countering the quick line speed
NZ were brilliant in the breakdown and always have the ability to turn things in a moment.
Too many times, we'd solo breaks and the rest of the team weren't quick enough to support and left players isolated for easy turnovers/ penalties.
We didn't deserve to win but that doesn't make it any better.
Just gutted. I'd so much hope for this world cup.
