This has been a bloody good game, despite the reffing and the whinging. Good hard rugby, generally high skill, good coaching (from one side) and a pleasure to watch

All the whinging bullshit Irish window dressing aside Ireland have came to play today - they still don't have much on attack unless they catch you on a bad day - but absolutely full credit for actually fronting and giving a good tight test.

Schmidt has Ireland playing the type of rugby Gatland has spent 10 years trying to get Wales to play.

These Irish coms go to the same school as Phil Kearns.

Yeah, 9 points is poor considering they had 20 minutes against 14, at home, with a crowd influencing a ref

@chimoaus all comms are blinkered twats - it's a fact.

[Voltron]

Need to hold on to this margin. No doubt the Irish will claim they won the series if they get within 10

well done ireland , they have remained competitive for 80 minutes ,
unlike most of our opponents this year

[Donsteppa]

Fekitoa kills the counter attack dead...

Yes but some are worse than others - Kearns and this mob - I actually don't mind Barnes, et al they at least recongnise good play rather than make excuses

Have you ever heard Justin Marshall call a game?

[SynicBast]

I hope Crotty comes back soon, Fekitoa gives me the shits with his lack of discipline and decision making - he';s a good runner but that's about all he really offers

[Luigi]

@jegga I have had that displeasure, yes.

Good tackler, though

[chimoaus]

Apart from the poor discipline and A Smith I'm petty happy. I hope A Smith gets a rest next week.

Moral of this story, if we are going to play $$$ grabbing games in the U S of A, keep to tier B teams like the States, Wales or Boks

@JustAnotherFan Don't stop there, Go full retard and suggest the All Blacks should be down to 7 players

Well, they have showed total lack of discipline in this game. The score isn't a true reflection of the game. I'm not a one-eyed AB fan. Hope that makes you feel better (I'm not that like you, I don't take things to a personal level).

[Stargazer]

@SynicBast Yes, can't wait for that Crotty-ALB combo being restored.

[African Monkey]

I thought Fekitoa was quite good today especially on defence, certainly one of his better tests. His yellow was the result of a poor (one of many) Aaron Smith clearance after just coming out of trouble.

@Luigi my apologies. I'd rather invite my ex around for a cup of coffee and say" you've got 80 uninterrupted minutes to point out my failings as a husband " than listen to him.
