Scoreboard pressure means something aye!
The fact they needed a try and Jordie had nailed that penalty to get it out to 4 points meant they couldn’t set up for a droppie.
We can’t underestimate how important Aaron Smith was at the end of the game. You can hear him just barking to our boys to get up and realign after each ruck. He would’ve had a point to prove after the YC. Thanks Nuggie, you are an AB legend.
Did the Irish bottle it a bit when they needed that try ,
Their elaborate attack we normally see with the ball being moved around and runners going everywhere all of a sudden became conservative and made it easier for us to defend .
I said before the game the advantage the ABs have is the metronomic method of their attack. We knew how we could beat them but were we good enough to action a plan to do so. Turns out we were.

It was funny to hear both Mils and Wilson go all Marshall near the end with some on-air comments about the Savea non-penalty and then the final Whitelock ruck penalty.
“CALL IT”

Glad to have been proven wrong
Congratulations the ABs -
@ACT-Crusader That definitely sounded like Wilson. Barnes was having none of it.

Congrats boys, and congrats on your express pass to the final
You cheeky bugger.
Argies speed is a problem that requires a different defensive plan than what we saw against the Irish.

It was ridiculous. You bet your ass if that were O'Whiny over the ball Sexcunt would have been yelling at Barnes.

The other bonus in the rivalry between the two sides,
Our 18 game winning record stays intact,
Imagine losing that to Ireland on top of losing

Probably not enough credit been given to our 4 young props that did the business tonight. Scrum was dominant and lineout was excellent.
Add to that the long time in camp has shed the kilos off DeGroot and Williams. Both look much fitter and slimmer out there.

Does that win see the Reyburn Shield change hands?
Raeburn ... but yes

Well said that man. Cane stepped up big time. Ardie is a legend already.

Tears in their Guinness -

Sorta, we hold it equal with England, they would've just equalled it too

I’m honestly not sure what part I’m enjoying more, us winning, or sending Sexton and O’Mahoney home.
Why not both?

Honestly Stan, get a commentator that can string words together ffs.
They also have NZ coverage lol
How do you get that?
When you choose the game there are normally 2 live options. One will have small white text stating it has NZ Coverage.
Thanks I'll look
