RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2)

[antipodean]

Farrell senior's defence has been ruthlessly exposed. All Blacks creating and exploiting space at will. Brutal route one from the first Lions Test creating that space.

Speed of everything from the AB's is killing the Irish

That and the aggressive defence.

Cane esp. has been on another planet on D

@Kirwan said in RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2):

Best half, performance wise, in years.

Agreed. Accuracy has been outstanding.
Ireland struggling to keep up with the speed of play too.

[Toddy]

99% tackle rate so far for the ABs vs 85% for Ireland.

Metres run for ABs 214 vs Ireland 93.

[Machpants]

Please please keep the foot on the throat, with discipline

You've gotta love dry powder.

Smith running the show from 9. Was there in Lions test one and Albany against Boks. Parked up until tonight.

thats literally it isn't it? just a solid first 15min, and we're good to go.
Irish bench is Mitre 10 compared to ours.

Yep. Since they put 40 on the Boks in 17 maybe?

Reece is not bad for an undersized winger....

He's a tough little bugger, that's for sure

Their problem now is to fix the error rate will mean being even slower but they need points. They look tired too. This next half may hurt.

BOD returns for the second half commentary, Aura's stiletto marks dotting his back. (He could have died!)

They are full on taking the piss with injury breaks

The Cane/Read/Ardie combination is awesome tonight.

One of the best I've seen - way up there with Ritchie/Jerry/Rodders and Ritchie/Read/Kaino

Mourie, Mexted and Shaw is still one of my gold standards. The Rapier, The Broadsword and the Mace

Mourie is just so underrated. Along with Jean Pierre Rives, he revolutionized no.7 play

[Nepia]

Shit, Red Card Barrett is on.

[Unite]

Cane off

Those two were pretty much the guns when I first started watcing Rugby and understanding what was happening, back in 77

Already saving players for the semi...

[Stockcar86]

Can’t believe this is the same team that drew nil all with Italy
