Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown & Dublin Duel

[Stargazer]

@Tim North American commentators always do. I guess it's because they're used to softies playing in helmets and inches of padding.

First ten minutes: Joe Moody is a dumb fluffybunny and our first five still isn't doing a core part of his job.

I'd say the constant silly penalties is the ABs biggest problem.

They're not North American.

[Mokey]

How the fuck could that try be awarded.

He'll get a ban for that as well...

Add an extra couple of weeks for stupidity.

Minus a couple of weeks for the early plea, plus another week because he's an AB thug, minus three weeks because he tweeted an apology, plus two weeks because his name is Joe and he'll end up missing two games IMO.

Stupid penalty. Defending out line again.

[No Quarter]

That was an incredibly costly mistake from Coles.

[Donsteppa]

I hear Chicago is a great place for a holiday. I will ask the All Blacks for their recommendations as it's clear they have plenty.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Oh, wait, rugbypass is for Asian countries, isn't it?

[Gunner]

Hansen needs to sort out the bloody on field discipline, fuck were giving away a penalty every time Ireland touch the ball.
Not good enough.
Our kicking game has been poor so far too, kicking too deep so we cant contest.

3 crucial moments ,

Moodys tackle, Coles poor throw, Squires high tackle

[Stockcar86]

Moody has inhereted the Ben Franks role well

[Mokey]

Fucking bloody hell. And suddenly its 15-5 to the Irish. All Blacks playing like fucking muppets. Way too many stupid penalties.

[Billy Tell]

Don't give a sucker an even break. Dreadful start.

[No Quarter]

Moody better play the house down as his YC killed our momentum after the Moala try.

[kiwiinmelb]

we need some fucken possession

[dingo]

I know the ABs tend to be in high scoring games, but for the benefit of my old ticker, lets try not to let Ireland score EVERY time they get in to the AB 22

[Gunner]

We're gonna have to put Cruden on early today, we need every single kick to be landed if we're going to get out of this one.

Yep. I think they're an English and an Irish guy.

[dingo]

First scrum after 24 minutes?
