That 2nd video was good. Agree with all of that. Josh VDF was disappointing. Rate him big time but that was a limp display tonight.

He was essentially battling Cane and Ardie in tandem too.

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.
@chimoaus I wasn't surprised one but that we dominated their scrum, I was telling my mates that we'd have the edge in that area and they looked at me a bit funny, buying into the Irish hype. The Samoan scrum murdered them before the world cup and the boks got the better of them too in that area, and apart from the PT where we took a gamble by putting Whitelock up, we probably won that area too.

fuck Ireland should have been penalised 20 phases earlier for sealing off
Kneck roll on RI too
German commentators went "THAT'S IT, NZ WON, CLEAR NECK ROLL" and I was waiting for the TMO to say something. Where was Jonker when you needed him?

I’m convinced that Barnes and Jonker are in the movie production game, because the drama of not making any call until the Irish players could do no more and several AB players hunched over, to the crescendo of the Whitelock breakdown penalty was a thing that will be spoken of for the ages.
Well played Barnes!

Yes, it seemed to be as Reiko was walking away from him.
I really hope Reiko said something cunty to him

Who was Sexton dropping the F bomb to in that video?
My guess is Dan Coles. They have a bit of history.

It'll be a big road back with lots of retirements before next cup, I think they'll go down before (if) they come back to current level

update from the NZZP house.
Onto poached egg, creamy mushroom and sausages on toast. Washed down by a nice cuppa tea, and an even nicer stout. I may regret this, but fark it, the sun is shining. Let's goooooo

I'll up you a second bottle of Marborough Pinot, Doritos and Davidstow Cheddar...

Barnes was great. Raynal would have killed us and Jack O'Peyper would have ignored the breakdown

Tears in their Guinness -
@Daffy-Jaffy one of the most significant factors they identified was scrum penalties. Their prop bored in to get dominance and got pinged.
I thought Wayne Barnes was good on big decisions including yellow cards but allowed a little too much at breakdowns which he usually does. And then pinged us unfairly - LF turnover when Sam had cleared ruck.

Cane and Jordie more deserving IMO
I really don't think any of them give a fuck, TBH. Least of all Cane.

Bollocks. Ardie was massive. The motor on the man is unbelievable. Cane steeped up but Ardie does this shit every time he plays.
