Ireland vs All Blacks (2018)

[taniwharugby]

that try wasnt too disimilar to the one we scored off a scrum recently.

I’m not sure where we go with our loosiesfrom here. They’re too slow with Ardie looking the best. Need to get Todd on to help him out but that means taking the captain off for me. Great Ireland try BTW.

[Mokey]

Ireland deserve to be ahead by a try. To be brutally honest, the All Blacks haven't shown anything so far except crap.

[Stargazer]

It looked like an AB was on the ground (possibly injured). Couldn't see who, but it meant a man less on defence.

How many minutes this season have the ABs been outplayed? It feels like more than any other season. Rope-a-dope is a good strategy in the right situation, but use it every fixture and it results in brain damage.

Nailed it.

Feels more and more like watching a strongly Foster influenced team, and no sane Chiefs fan would ever want to go back there...

[Crazy Horse]

Can't see us getting out of this.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwiinmelb yep, not ideal, especially when we arent playing well

[sparky]

It's get out of that time all over again. Ireland looking the much better side.

[Mokey]

Fucking hell, BBBR. His worst game in ages.

[rotated]

This Ireland team have the best mental approach to playing the ABs in the Ted/Shag eta. That Matfield/Botha SA team is the only one close.

Doubt they would have the same confidence if we hadn't gifted Chicago to them though.

[JC]

This may be the worst handling I’ve seen from an AB team in years.

[Crazy Horse]

Beaden caused that with his stand and pass. Get Ritchie on.

[akan004]

@rotated Schmidt has done wonders for them.

Hansen should still be giving himself regular uppercuts for Chicago.

Geez Ireland are looking deserving. Have to say that our mistakes are coming from their pressure just like the ABs do to other teams.

Handling has been fine really. Only 8 turnovers conceded before that, same as Ireland. That is par for us. Problem was we were going backwards before that movement.

[Stargazer]

I don't know whether Richie is the answer, but they need to change something, because what they're doing now isn't working.

[jegga]

Looking for an upside to this shambles.... this could end ferrets chances of taking over?

Doesn’t help when your 1st five is tripping up your FB

@mokey Yeah, it appears that BBBR has been reading the fern rather than Stephen Jones articles.
