All Blacks v Ireland, 2021 NH Tour

[Victor Meldrew]

This game has the feeling of a RWC Semi.

If we win this after Ireland's onslaught, it could do the team a power of good. If not...

[Stargazer]

@booboo Owen Farrell is a strong competitor. There are a few others.

[Chris]

Com onnnnn Black let’s get the job done.

[Mattasaurus]

Christie will liven things up when he comes on

[ACT Crusader]

How many times does the ref have to tell the Irish player to let it go. Just penalise him.

[akan004]

Kicking good ball away.

[Victor Meldrew]

And we cough up possession again...

[Chris]

Dalton P silly penalty.

[gt12]

We had good ball and territory, why kick that away?

[Stargazer]

@victor-meldrew Seems to be the game plan.

If we can maintain possession he will be a lot better. If we are caught in a defensive game this half, we will miss TJ’s tackling.

[Mattasaurus]

@act-crusader exactly

Team plan by the looks BB kicked it every time when he was on.

We had one the game of force back, needed to keep that in hand for a bit

[gt12]

Ok, we’re in trouble. That was really pretty easy for them.

[Billy Tell]

The Irish back three are positioning themselves very well. That Keenan chap is class.

[ACT Crusader]

TJ’s box kicking is trash.

Good try Ireland.

[booboo]

Have a bad feeling about this.

Still don't get why Paps was penalised. Playing too well? Making a legal tackle?

[Tordah]

Defence too porous with the 2nd man play

[Chris]

What did I say at HT hold onto the ball.
Coaches plan by the looks as everyone has kicked all game.
