Ireland vs All Blacks (2018)
-
Ireland had a real chance to put one of the ABs in the bin at scrum time there.
-
Ireland should not have gone for the kick there.

Karl T needs subbing. Being done in the scrums and in general play. Don’t wait till halftime.

I might be alone here but apart from the penalties I like what I see , think we look more likely with the ball
Wish I had your optimism. I don't see us having it over them in any facet yet. Yellow will come soon.

That was 10 mis ago, I’m entitled to change my mind

@crazy-horse yep, although I'm never a fan of a YC for scrum technicalities.

Yeah bizarre they laid all the ground work to force a yellow and potentially score. NZ are an absolute mess and they just relieved the pressure.
-
So we are getting done at scrum time, not winning the contact in D, and racking up a lot of penalties? If so Ireland are not getting much profit points-wise. Although a yellow would open things up... are we flustered with ball in hand? Looking likely to break their line?

Did Barnes over react there to the crowd ?
No
Fair penalty
Irish bankers on comms calling for YC
And now we're cynical

I had yo turn them down. Persecution complex got too much to bear

@sammyc said in Ireland Vs All Blacks:
Karl t a massive weakness tonight. Both scrumming and around the park
Yep was going to say the same thing but couldn't spell his name. Forgot we call him Karl T
-
that was a better scrum though.
Think they should actually be happy to be only 3 down TBH
-
Last scrum of the half much better.
Given the penalty count I will take that half time scoreline.
My biggest concern in this match was Ireland coming out of the blocks fast and getting away to a big lead early on before we work into the match.
Epic 2nd 40 coming up.

Interesting comment by the referee that that next penalty offence committed by the visiting team will see a player invited to spend ten minutes in the sin bin. That presumably means that if the next penalty the All Blacks concede is hot on the Irish goal line in the 79th minute they are automatically subjected to a player being yellow carded.
