All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

gt12

We can survive the bad kicking if we are accurate on discipline, and we can survive the inaccuracy if we have better kicking, but they both seem to arrive at the same time a lot.

Keeping the ball in hand, running hard near the ruck = fucking winning

Jailbreak7

@KiwiMurph This is what happened in the MAB match. Ireland came out reinvigorated after Farrell had torn them a new one

chimoaus

Clear knock on from Cane missed there.

That last 20 minutes was much better from the ABs.

First 20 minutes - playing how the coaches told them
Last 20 minutes - playing their natural game

All Blacks play shit - Foster to blame for being a shit coach

All Blacks play well - Foster to blame for being a shit coach

Given how they started after ten minutes in the sheds listening to Foster...

Bones

Love Bower's ability to get outside the defender. We just don't take advantage

Duluth

Good call to go to the lineout. Don’t give them breaks

chimoaus

Take the points.

Even commenters spotted it

Count the rucks in that set with 1 cleaner.

That's doomed to failure and I thought that was a rough penalty as POM was thr only one who held his feet

Brad Moar stated the coaches didn't say much at half time... evidence they don't coach

All came from a poor Barrett kick it put us under heaps of pressure.

Bower brain dead penalty you mean?

We just have to learn to not compete when someone hasn't rolled. You get away with being on the wrong side until their cleaners can't do their job.

Same mistake we made in the first half. When will we respect our ruck ball?

chimoaus

Take the three points.

Steven Harris

Tupaea looks quite small compared to the Irish midfielders

Canes4life

Why didn’t we just carry on the pick and go there? We had them under the pump.

He always goes for the low percentage play when on advantage.
