All Blacks v Ireland II

[rotated]

@SimonAdd_2 said in Ireland II:

All Blacks have given away 4 high-tackle penalties now, Fekitoa's could easily have been red, given the recent World Rugby 'crack-down'.

This is one thing they really need to look at we've had too many of these stupid high or dangerous tackles (or could be perceived as high with a home TV director) all season dating back to Ben Smith's tip tackle in the RWC final.

We've had as many tonight as I can remember during the whole Henry era.

They can say what they want about the penalty count against the ABs, but half of those penalties were after the Irish moaning convinced the ref there was something wrong that wasn't actually worth a penalty.

[No Quarter]

And TJP looks over to Aaron Smith and says "that's how you kick".

I'm really getting fed up with hearing the word 'Chicago'

"Fucking hell sir?" asks TJP.

[Stargazer]

Fuck off with your "Whitelock's tackle being high". He's a fucking giraffe. Everything he does seems high.

[Tordah]

no wonder the crowds boos every tackle around the shoulders, when they're "educated" by these idiot commentators

[No Quarter]

Damn if Cruds catches that it's all over. Dagg looking very good.

Are we still losing or have we started our comeback?

No excuse, needs to get lower.

Floodgates will open imminently.

[Luigi]

Why couldn't you have played that game in Pyongyang or Agjabadi..

[Stargazer]

@SimonAdd_2 I said "seems". It wasn't high.

We're all still pleased to lose to the Irish - if we have to lose to someone - though...

[Donsteppa]

Fekitoa scores!!! Irish find 8589478723 reasons to protest no doubt.

This Irish coverage is hideous only just now does the graphic for the TJP/Smith substitution appear.

[Tordah]

nice interpassing and Fekitoa finishes it off

[Crash]

Fuck YEAH - shut the crowd uo

[No Quarter]

TJP should have started. BB, ALB and TJP break Irish hearts.

[Snowy]

Peyper really looking like a "homer" ref. Every marginal call going to the home team. That should have been a penalty after the try being scored for Sexton round the neck tackle. If we are getting hammered for high stuff why aren't they?
