    They backed their "cut and paste" attack to pry open the ABs defence.

    That was quite the telling comment from Foz.

    As if, in actual fact, they have fuck all variation, and once you figure it out, you can defend it all day.

    I noticed this in my drunken haze at the ground. It was all very methodical.

    Boks guy was commenting on same at pub last night, and how slow Sexton was. Perhaps after the 30th phase a pop kick might have been worth a shot? Definition of insanity and all?

        @JayCee 3rd ruck on that has Ioane and Jordie Barrett cleaning for a Savea carry - they really had the whole team drilled for breakdown work. Got to take your hat off to the coaches and players for nailing that.

            No doubt the pass at 79:57 was a mile forwards too.

            @MajorRage James Lowe had a great chance to score, but fell on his arse. Amazing work by the special agent.

              @JayCee At 4:11 it looked like Ireland had found space on the left, but backs kept their composure and Lowe looked done.

                @sparky It was a 4 on 3 for Ireland, but defence covered the channels well and Coles came across.

                  For people wondering about Ioane and shit talk, he was clearly neck rolled at 5:00. He came up with something to say, and I imagine he would have continued.

                    Cuts away right at the end, but Ioane gave them a spray when ABs got the final penalty, and why the fuck not.

                      Whitelock and Scott Barrett were huge in that last sequence.

                              @JayCee was a ruck about phase 14, BR was over the ball, should have ended there, Barnes called away and BR quickly pulled away, so often players keep going when they have won it...the discipline in those 30 odd phases was something rarely seen by this AB side.
