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

and the reffing!

[Mr Fish]

If the All Blacks just commit an extra player to each attacking ruck then they should be fine - and do a better job of following up when players make mini breaks.

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

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

[BerniesCorner]

ABs have been ffgg good

[BerniesCorner]

Just need to concentrate

Get Roigard on

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

but our benchline backs are a bit meh. Hope they prove me wrong.
I wonder who they will take off for Finau?

Concrete feet cane, I hope

Im liking playing territory. Ireland without sexton are struggling to make any.

With the stats we should be further ahead, but still tons of little skill errors are killing is. And now the big dumb yellow

[Chris B.]

Ball like soap causing lots of problems for everyone. But, we had much the better of that half until the last 90 seconds.

Lineout going well - especially defensively (I presume that we saw no replay of the not straight indicative that the TV Director didn't think the Irish sent up a jumper either).

Scrum looks to be getting on top.

Need to keep playing down their end.

[KiwiMurph]

Irish to kick off second half

Need a good exit otherwise Irish momentum could be tough to handle down 14

[Canes4life]

Need to inject Roigard in early IMO, his ability to snipe could be vital.

[mariner4life]

We need to get some speed in our phase play but Pur support play and ball placement is not at the right level

[ARHS]

This tmo has a habit of making harsh calls against NZ teams. Probably why he was appointed to this match...

[BerniesCorner]

Not the same without Sexton and POM

[SBW1]

What was the story with Jordie is it just a yellow? Have not watched game.

[Stag]

@canefan totally disagree. He aims at the waist and the player gets an offload away and puts someone into a gap or even a try. He hit on shoulder first and it rode up, just unlucky.

[kiwiinmelb]

Smart play required here
