All Blacks v Ireland, 2021 NH Tour

[ACT Crusader]

Sam Whitelock grabbed around the neck at the ruck.

Where’s the YC?

[Tordah]

James O'Lowe scores in the corner like the Irishman he is

[akan004]

Ireland winning the collisions so far. We have to step it up.

[Chris]

Fuck this, fire up ABs that YC should have you angry,

[booboo]

Fucking how many "yellow cards" in that period of play.

Dumb fluffybunnies

[Billy Tell]

The Irish crowd is always the 16th man. They make a difference imo

The fucking TMO is so desperate to card him and he has convinced the ref to do so. BS call.

That has been a consistent feature this season - the TMO is directing passive referees, not merely assisting

[sparky]

Fuck it: home-town offficating to appease the crowd, a bullshit yellow card and a try by plastic Paddy to boot.

Where's Akira?

We are not learning We are not earning the right to go wide. Our forwards are not doing what they should do.

[Jailbreak7]

Are we just lazy, or are points in the bank more important at this stage?
I would have gone for the corner

Good try. All Blacks constantly offside defending in the red zone.

Yeah but exactly the same offside that denied us down the other end and wasn't called...

[MajorPom]

6 phases all tackling around the shoulders.

Unquestionable that be another yellow in there on the benchmark set.

Uses up time for the YC.

[Derm McCrum]

There we go. 5-3. Plenty of time.

[ACT Crusader]

@jailbreak7 take the 3. We are down a man

And the tackle in the air that he didn't even want to penalise ..

[Yeetyaah]

Man in bin. Take the points.

Ireland defense really solid.

Yep, Ireland have been OK but not dominant at all. We just need to spend a bit more time trucking it up the middle to suck some defenders in.
