Holland MOTM... WTF???
They had to pick someone
He made a couple good plays. But in general thought he made quite a few errors tonight.

Nice post match interview by Holland. First answer and managed to get most of the cliches in.
I even believe his answer to the question "what was the message at half-time?", judging by how witless Scott Robertson appears to be as AB coach
Classic Razor "thoughts and vibes"

Fuck yeah. Ireland behaved like a pack of morons. All about the niggle, got what they deserved.
A much better last 20 for the All Blacks - I think that is the blueprint for what the coaches want us to do. I guess it is up to the individual as to whether you like it.

@ACT-Crusader A bomb could have gone off today and she’d still ask about 2016

will be interesting to see the injury toll and impacts to the squad

Anne Frank would have been proud of his performance. Didnt notice him.

Did they not look at the lineouts?

Should have been Jordan right

@Mattasaurus Two of the Barrett’s out for the next test so great

There's the problem right there. Holland says AB rugby is about chucking it around. AB rugby is about ruthlessly dismantling opponents
The issue is if you believe he was telling the truth as opposed repeating the PR message.

Probably the wrong two

The game plan seems to be “be one of the two teams in the game for 60 minutes” and then throw the ball around and use our skills to score more points than the opposition in the last 20 mins.

Overall a clunky game but always great to beat Ireland.
Fainga’anuku was very good. Plays direct and is hard to get to ground. The way Ireland defend you need that extra time on your feet to allow support players to arrive. Him and Clarke and also Quinn provide that.
Plenty of negative that no doubt will be highlighted, but happy to win and a shame we couldn’t get that last try.

Seems pretty obvious to TSF that DMac and Leicester probably come in (assuming JB is out). Razor will get one of those right
Beauden will start
