All Blacks v Ireland II
-
All the whinging bullshit Irish window dressing aside Ireland have came to play today - they still don't have much on attack unless they catch you on a bad day - but absolutely full credit for actually fronting and giving a good tight test.
Schmidt has Ireland playing the type of rugby Gatland has spent 10 years trying to get Wales to play.

Yeah, 9 points is poor considering they had 20 minutes against 14, at home, with a crowd influencing a ref

@chimoaus all comms are blinkered twats - it's a fact.
Have you ever heard Justin Marshall call a game?

I hope Crotty comes back soon, Fekitoa gives me the shits with his lack of discipline and decision making - he';s a good runner but that's about all he really offers

Good tackler, though

@JustAnotherFan Don't stop there, Go full retard and suggest the All Blacks should be down to 7 players

Well, they have showed total lack of discipline in this game. The score isn't a true reflection of the game. I'm not a one-eyed AB fan. Hope that makes you feel better (I'm not that like you, I don't take things to a personal level).

@SynicBast Yes, can't wait for that Crotty-ALB combo being restored.

@Tordah what happened?
After Fekitoa scored and Barrett was lining up the conversion, the usual TV director shit comes up and he shows the last pass which was flat, a few in the stadium start to boo, Rory Best comes running from behind the posts up to Barrett who was preparing the kick and PEyper and wnats them to check
Whats wrong with checking something having the correct call? The TMO has already fucked up once in this game. It should be 9-7 to Irish.

It's the ref's duty to check the correctness of his calls, not the captain of the team that's lined up behind the posts having a conversion lined up against them. Jogging forward after the stadium has another of their whinges while Barrett is concentrating on a kick is extremely unsportsmanlike, but judging by you saying it should have been 9-7 Ireland, you obviously didn't watch the game at all, seeing Sexton trying to take Barrett's head off in the act of scoring a try

Ireland just couldn't quite match the accuracy of Chicago. Broke the All Blacks line enough times, but hands let them down.
All Blacks did enough, but still didn't look as superlative as we're used to seeing. Poor quality of this year's Rugby Championship perhaps giving a bit of an exaggerated perception?
