After a pummeling game of rugby, Ireland fell 46-14 to the All Blacks in Japan.

Despite a hopeful (and loud) crowd, Ireland's defeat was all but assured by the end of the first half, trailing New Zealand by twenty-two points.

Needless to say, Irish Twitter wasn't exactly all that hopeful throughout the game and, in the end, the defeat was all but inevitable. Here's some of the highlights / lowlights during the game.
