Key quotes after Ireland beat South Africa 13-8 in the Rugby World Cup at the Stade de France on Saturday:
"I'm lost for words. These Irish fans are incredible. Honestly, I've never, ever witnessed anything like it, the travelling crowd, it's a joke, completely a joke and it's only going to get bigger and crazier from here on in."
– Ireland centre Bundee Aki
"Fair play to the boys for playing that well today. South Africa are an outstanding team. They are world champions for a reason."
– Aki again
"This crowd, it's incredible how many people turned up today and I don't know how we do it time after time after time. We didn't want to let them down, it was a scrappy old game and we couldn't seem to get into any flow and neither could they, which was a real arm wrestle. To dog it out against a team like that is a testament to us and the management. Fair play to South Africa, they made the game so tough to play."
– Ireland flyhalf and captain Johnny Sexton to BBC radio
"It was one hell of a game. Ireland brought it to us but I am proud of the boys for sticking in there and giving it our all. We were unlucky."
– South Africa flyhalf Manie Libbok, speaking to ITV:
"Obviously in a game like this you have to take your points and you have to convert pressure into points. Unfortunately we didn't get it right."
– Libbok on his team's missed penalties
"Without a doubt they are a class outfit. They have quality players all around the park and they are a good team."
– Libbok on Ireland
