All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[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.

Clear knock on from Cane missed there.

Even commenters spotted it

[mariner4life]

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

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...

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.

Fuck me Beauds. Get fucked

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.

No the dumb kick by Barrett straight after the kick off they gave the ball away and started all that shit.

Are you talking about the kick to the 50m line that didn't find touch, as has been the tactic for all of our kicking?

If we can't defend from 50m out that's worrying

[Tim]

Take the scrum

When the ref starts pinging Ireland for swinging around and diving over? He's just started...

Because the guy who is supposed to control the game is a low IQ player

Yeah, but that makes him really fast.
