All Blacks v Ireland, 2021 NH Tour

[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.

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.

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.

So you are. Good.

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.

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.

[gt12]

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

That's a game's worth of tackles in one half. We just have to learn to take better care of the ball when we have it.

But you’re still in the lead.

[Jailbreak7]

@stargazer wow those two stats at the top - metres and carries make stark reading given the score.....
