All Blacks v Ireland II

Donsteppa

Fuck, harsh, Irish moaning paying deividends.

One of many reasons why I want to punch my screen when someone craps on about "if we're going to lose to someone, I'm happy its the Irish." FFS.

Tordah

tough to listen to that bullshit of those Irish commentators..

SynicBast

The way these Irish Comms have worked out directions, you'd think Ireland had shifted iin the earthquakes and their GPS needed to be recalibated because that Irish scrim almost lost the ball it was going backwards

Crash

Yep, the defence of him is that he's playing "tighter" these days. He's not doing much when he is...

and unforced errors, and dodgy penalties, and stupid penalties...

No Quarter

Where was that high shot? TV crew obviously couldn't find it for a replay.

Moody appeared to have his head and arm.

This game shows once again, that big screen replays should not be under the control of the home broadcaster. (Not talking about BBs knock-on).

LEARN THE LAWS

Loss of possession === no knock on - Barrett can't knock it on with a strip. IRB clarified this a couple of years ago

Stone cold wrong again

ps - not saying I agree, just frustrated that the laws get applied so inconsistently

Look very strong with ball in hand. It'll be tough to beat that second half in the republic but I really see them absolutely obliterating them in the second half look full of running and Ireland are out on their feet and surely the penalty lottery swings back against them.

Still see them tickling 50 in the classic 2016 test.

kiwiinmelb

we are far more dangerous with ball in hand ,
if we can control possession of course

SynicBast

I thought once the ball carriers jknees touch the ground it becaomes a ruck

No Quarter

9 penalties to 1. Fuck me how are we winning?!

African Monkey

Yay we get 1.

SynicBast

So Far I count at least 6 yellow cards that the ABs should have conceded according to these morons

kiwiinmelb

dont wont to go too early here , but if we control their maul , they dont have a lot with ball in hand
