All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[Davesofthunder]

Reminder before kick off that this is a www.raeburnshield.com match too!

New Zealand haven't held it since 2017 and our last challenge was a failed attempt against Ireland in 2018!

Heart rate is starting to creep up, c'mon boys, prove me totally wrong about fosters lack of coaching ability

[Kirwan]

Can we retire TJ already.

[Tim]

@Kirwan He's even taken over the Rugbypass podcast now. Inescapable.

But then someone like Willie Lose* might take over so it's out of the frying pan and into the fire.

*He was the commentator in the Sam v Oz A match and was awful.

[Frye]

Anyone know a stream provider? Vipbox saying technical issues right now

Funny I just walked past Sonny Bill over here at Optus and thought you are the worst- but maybe T J has lowered the bar further?

Irish supporter flag holding skills are low

There is a good commentator that just calls the game, I don’t even know his name. @Duluth will

I am looking at this match with the expectation that we need to win by 20 plus. If we don't we have failed and our expectations have been lowered which is a dent to our so called "aura". If it is a tight game it is all on the coaching which I have been critical of since day one. Never approached at AB game with such an apathetic attitude. Thanks Foster and Co.

I've had a few beers so now I reckon we'll win by heaps

Fuck off sexton you diving prick!!

Question for you Kiwis. Who, if any of the Irish would ye take in an AB team?

I'm nervous about this first test... I just hope it's a close game and we don't get pumped.

I wouldn’t pick one Irishman in a combined…

[mariner4life]

What is this fucking on field intro?????

Get the fuck off!!!

God I fucking hate game day entertainment

"If you are able??" Like if you're not too pissed?
