Marshall is a retard

It's his neutral "brand".

[MadGav]

@Nepia Marshall making out like he wasn’t completely fking clueless

[No Quarter]

It definitely didn't go forwards

[chimoaus]

Considering how we started I'm quite shocked by the scoreline.

This should be a t shirt

@mariner4life maybe his best position is an impact player. I just need to see more from Sotutu at test level. Right now I wouldn’t mind seeing a loose trio of Grace Papali’i and Sotutu, with Ardie off the bench.

He’s had a beaut last ten mins though to be fair.

[MadGav]

Commitment by Smith made that

The commentators are fucking morons

Be thankful you don't have this Irish lot with Isa "you wouldn't guess he played rugby" O'Nacewa

Half of two halves.

After grace on Wednesday that sounds pretty sweet

[chimoaus]

Ireland go to shit when Sexton is not there and now he failed the hia. Does that mean he's out for next weekend too?

[gt12]

Ireland look lost since Sexton went off.

[Donsteppa]

Ireland threw the kitchen sink at it in the first 15 minutes, and then had little left other than a mud backline in concrete shoes for the rest of the half.

[mariner4life]

This is amazing really

I can't tell you what we've done well, and we're hammering them

In the end only points matter

[Tim]

Christ, lose your intensity in NZ are you are done.

Fast fast fast.

[KiwiMurph]

The counter rucking and size in the backs are really nice changes

Ireland are buggered and shit. That's how we've done it. This is a paper over the cracks win.

[chimoaus]

So the takeaway from this is let the coaching group work from home?

[number9]

That last 20 minutes was much better from the ABs.
