Yes Ireland are well coached but the desire to run and pass the ball and put the man in space is the difference

That desire is fostered by having a clear effective platform which allows the players to express their skills

Apologies if it's already been stated but it's more than a little jarring that their NZers are playing infinitely better than ours.
I think that is the most damning evidence. In a different environment with different coaches, they are playing to their full potential.

We may have got a try, but how tortuous was it to get there? And the only reason we got there was a bit of luck. Utter arse

The half a dozen penalties in the lead up might have been nice to signal.

Aaron Smith’s passing has been terrible.
@ACT-Crusader Very slow and inaccurate today.

My halftime thoughts. Ireland are on fire - very well structured.
ABs attack is awful. ABs defence is awful. We can’t handle their players in front of and to the side of the ball carrier.
Cody Taylor should only throw to Whitelock - any time he’s tried to throw it to a non Crusader it’s gone pear shaped.
Hilarious that Ireland have been throwing not straights all series yet we get pinged for one.
Worryingly even Jordan looks lethargic tonight.
Furlong is the oldest looking 29 year old I’ve seen.

He looks like he is literally made of potatoes. Some player though.

23 phases. That's what we want, to actually keep the ball.

I though it was only ABs cynical on defence.
Honestly the ardie-haters can get lost.

Absolutely stop giving the ball back
