All Blacks v Ireland, 2021 NH Tour

[No Quarter]

Where is the All Blacks much vaunted precision? A stupid kick by Perenara giving the ball straight back to them, a stupid pass by 7 to no-one - they invited Ireland to camp on their line for damn near 20 minutes!

Yeah, Blackadder late hit on Sexton put us under a lot of pressure as well. We cut the silly stuff out and we'll get on top of this Ireland team.

The sweet, sweet sound of Irish boos.

The Irish are not happy they missed out on 2023 RWC. But honestly their crowds are a bit insufferable. We’ve not had any brain farts by reacting to the crowd and the niggle so that’s a plus.

I really think we need to keep it in the forwards a tad more before spinning it.

@chris man's popping off

I will drink to that .

[Yeetyaah]

@chris bit early for that isn't it

[Old Samurai Jack]

Yeah, a feature of AB teams recently. We need a Steyn to kick it well into their territory and play the percentages.

I don't mind it, but if Akira did that I wonder if we would chalk it down to his workrate?

No it’s a late drink not an early one

Carter’s sweeping left boot wouldn’t go astray right now

Savea throwing the ball over the touch line did that as well.
Blackadder has put a shit load of work in.

Yeah Dagg into first receiver with the big boot.

Did I ever mention that he would’ve made a great 1st 5

[BerniesCorner]

This a real test match. ABs must not loss structure. Keep patience.

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

The All Blacks have crawled through that half with 27% territory and 27% (or similar) possession!!!

[Stargazer]

[No Quarter]

Irish tackling success only 77%. If we could just hold onto the ball...

[MiketheSnow]

Ireland are good enough
Not accurate enough

[Billy Tell]

The Ireland bench mainly has wizened veterans. I would hope the youth on the NZ bench might count for something.

@mikethesnow said in All Blacks v Ireland, 2021 NH Tour:

Right can you fucks stop complaining about the ref

Because they get one call right?

[Chris]

We need to hold onto the ball this half force Ireland into having to make a shit load of tackles.
We really have had no ball, we spent bugger all time in their 22.
