Relevance?
A lot of people thought the Ireland game in Chicago was a exhibition game. It was a dogfight which we lost.

Ireland were good leading up to that test. So they're not analogous.

@antipodean they both seemed to have a bit of fait accompli about them

@chimoaus agree the cross field kick is over used.
Probably, but I think they probably try to use it to force the defense to spread more across the field to create space in the middle. Whether that actually is a good idea or not, I don't know.

Fun but inaccurate match, from both teams tbf.
Kickoffs terrible both teams, kicking, receiving.
Nz bundled into touch so often. The modern player is usually so aware of not getting too close to the touch unless its truely on.
Books have also made down summ errors, weird match.

Nigel Owens can just retire. He is a shit ref. Missing plenty and as the Books are the desperate team infringing most he's missing all their shit. Same thing happened last year against Aussie in the 2nd bled. He is showing signs that all celebrity refs before him shown.

It’s not the ref’s fault. Yeah he’s missing stuff but they all do. We’re playing without brains at times.

How the fuck can a five-eighth miss those kicks so often?
Yep. The big fear is it will It could cost us a key game in RWC2019

Don’t worry Mo’unga won’t miss them next year #weallknowhe’llbenumber1

We can't just keep handing them tries.
-
Fuck , more errors

Well the 'Rugby Championship - What's the point?' thread can be put to bed.
Fantastic half of rugby from both sides.
Yes there are errors - both forced and unforced - but that's down to the pace the game is being played at and the attacking intent.
Easy to go error free if you do 22 phases of trundle.
6 tries.
Some individual brilliance.
Fast flowing end to end
COMPETITIVEWhat's not to like?
