Another one of those pointless YC that can’t be avoided. The lawmakers haven’t played rugby.

Hard cases make bad law….as the adage goes.

Dreadful atmosphere in the stadium, but reflective of the game. Woeful by Ireland, AB's marginally better and deserve the lead.
50000 people from the big 4 accounting companies, talking about their property portfolios . Insufferable bastards.
@Jet 100%. Corporate ticket sales depriving the real rugby fans

I am hopeful they change 9 at halftime but not overly confident.
What a shame Ratima has gone backwards-are the Irish denting his confidence? -
Hoping we can keep all 15 on the park for last quarter

Jordie Barrett just needed to aim at the waist and it wouldn't have been high. Not crazy difficult...

Counter rucking and defence by Ireland only positive from an Irish point of view.

ABs very good
DMac Sititi Scott B Williams very good -

So Ardie gets a high shot down the other end and only a PK. Why wasn't that a YC???
Seatbelt type tackle, not shoulder to the head. Totally different
Yeah one was deliberately high, the other he was crouched. Piss off if you think Jordie deserved to be YC. It's ridiculous.

Lol never said that he deserved it. You've obviously not watched rugby for years, because under the current interpretation yellow all day.

The All Blacks are not committing enough players in the rucks, so they can't have quick ball and this doesn't help Ratima either.

There is an element of that .. but Ratima has also been noticeably indecisive on more than one occasion.

@The-Irishman
Most of the Irish counter rucks could be penalized as they lose their feet and often come from the side. -

Yeah, there are good signs. Defence is really good both in close and out wide. Ruck work is excellent. Like all good teams they are right on the edge.
And they had a couple of very good attacks as well, lethal when over the advantage line on early phase.

Get Roigard on

Get Roigard on
Get Patty T on. Hope he can shift bodies like he did at Twickenham

In Sam's talk about the last time we played was all about aiming tackles between knees and hips... Just cos it not a quarter and the last few minutes, same thought process should apply
