All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test

[Chris]

Great steal in the linout by SB

[nostrildamus]

When they had to drop the "team strategy" due to those cards, and just scramble, the ABs looked better to me. That is a coaching concern.
Thought Whitelock last week was huge, think he has been missed this week.

With Jordan on the bench Leicester might not be on much longer

[ACT Crusader]

Reece won that twice!

[Bones]

Rieko you needed to draw and pass there. What happened to trusting your teammates?

[gt12]

Finally the short chip.

I'd have Samisoni on, Jordan on to 15 (or wing?) JB to 12..

[Tim]

@gt12 it was on there

[Kirwan]

Ireland still resting.

To be fair the way Lester is playing why would you want to pass to him.

[chimoaus]

Such a stop start game, exactly what Ireland want.

[kiwiinmelb]

Got to find a way to get will Jordan out there the way it’s starting to open up

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan we are the team making all the tackles.with 1 man down...Sam needs to be in Jacos ear

[Damo]

Will Jordan is on bench isn't he? He should be on field now.

I think you mean Leicester. Ok then don't trust your teammates.

[nostrildamus]

Ireland, still great at ruck but looking tired now.
They said there were 3 7s out there (well 2 now), I'd say there is an extra 7, given how well Reece has gone.

Normally I'd be furious about it, but it may help us a bit towards the end of the game now too.

Don't tell me the coaches will wait for 50+ minutes to empty the bench. The starters have tackled/scrambled far more than normal.

The way this match is going, will they give Fakatava any time?
