All Blacks XV vs Ireland A

[Bovidae]

Ironic that the ref has warned the AB XV for some high tackles but Ireland A tackle around the neck to try to hold a player up all the time.

Thanks for any updates, all appreciated

@No-Quarter It's pedantic. I have no other word for it.

I think they got into a position where because they were checking for foul play it had to be either a card or play on, and because they found what was probably a penalty (coming in from the side) they didn't want to award the try so gave the card, screwing the ABXV. I just really dislike the way they go way back to "check something" when a try is scored. Either the ref blows his whistle at the time of the act, or he calls play on. TMO should ONLY be for checking groundings etc.

TBF the ref did call it when it happened but didn’t want to stop play in case there was nothing to see. Sometimes you can’t win either way.
Thought YC was harsh though. Irish are playing like football prima donnas though when they get “hurt” to draw attention and make this look worse.

@Stargazer AB backrow has been very busy from my standpoint. Hope they keep it up in the second half.

Need to keep their discipline though (Jacobson especially obviously).

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I noticed that, too. TJP got penalised for one earlier that the Irish get away with all the time in this game.

That YouTube stream is ahead of the tv broadcast on Sky.

Nice.

[Stargazer]

That looked way too easy.

[Tim]

McMillan must be pumped for Stevenson's form.

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris His defensive is way better this year too.

Yes, him and Love have been very impressive.

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris That would be instead of Harbour team mate Telea.

[chimoaus]

RTS got caught wrong side there, can always be tough.

[Stargazer]

I can't find any stats for this game, but MMT has been a tackle monster.

Yes he seems to be the channel defender and doing it well.

[Canes4life]

Hopefully Roigard gets a run soon.

[chimoaus]

NZ getting hammered on penalty count 10 so far vs 3 against Ireland.

[Steven Harris]

How many scrums have there been..?
