All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[Bones]

Now I understand! Back off and back off in defence and they get so confused they drop it!

[Victor Meldrew]

Our scrum doing better than I expected.

[mariner4life]

Beautiful defence no panic at all

Quinn killing this

[KiwiMurph]

That's the James Lowe I remember....

[mariner4life]

Savea couldn't run through a wet paper bag as first receiver

Ireland scrum is under pressure on their own ball

[Machpants]

Some good defence there

But, post contact metres in the 78th minute.

[Kirwan]

Great tackle from BB in that sequence.

Especially with Ireland being allowed to run around behind obstructing players and not get penalised.

[Mattasaurus]

Much better defence

On fairness he's a weapon out wide. Just not there. He's had a couple of run in that spot and been owned every time

[gt12]

Omg, just fucking use it.

[MrDenmore]

Anyone notice the deliberate shepherding going on by the Irish?

That's their plan. I tend to think they get it pretty right

[Kirwan]

Hahahah. Sucks to be you Ireland.

[Gunner]

How does an Irishman end up at the back of our maul? Round the side that’s how.

Reece!!!!

Ha!

[number9]

Where is our Tight 5??????

[Machpants]

Scramble defence individual try. The foster 'plan'

[Donsteppa]

Picked very nicely by Reece.
