Serious question because I can’t remember, Did he penalise us in the second half ?
The penalty count was 10-2, I can't find a half time break down - but we didn't get one in the last 60 minutes from memory? Must have been at least 3-4 in the second half for the French.
A lot is made of the forward pass, or yellow card, but from a purely statistical perspective the odds of having 70% possession/territory and being negative 8 on the penalty count is impossible without incompetent (wilful or not) refereeing.

The reffing WAS appalling.
The way the ABs reacted/adapted to that situation was even worse

Steve's confident. Are you?

A handy reference to the difference between UK, Great Britain and the British Isles

None of that is news to me, but many residents of the British Isles, but NOT Great Britain, consider themselves British.

I think the part that doesn’t get enough mention,
Losing carter and Evans in quick succession was fucken massive , particularly Evans , who looked like he was about to add some much needed spark when he broke the line, then he was gone.

"loyalty to a particular team"
Yeah Joe...looked in a mirror recently?
Such a petty comment there snowy. The mans not allowed to coach abroad no?

Just found the comments in the article a bit odd about calling Ronan with him being Irish and having loyalties elsewhere. He should also know just as much about NZ rugby given that he is a Kiwi. Nothing petty about it.

Pretty sure that you have all of that correct.

But Ronan has inside knowledge on Richie which would be valuable because he hasn't played enough test footy for teams to fully analyze him yet. Joe has no knowledge of the inner workings of the current AB setup that could help Ireland

Irish Journalistic (or should that be Jingoistic) bingo:
Haka questioned? Check.
All Blacks cynical cheats? Check
Poaching? Not yet
Pick on individual's off field behaviour? Check ...Ireland taking the moral high ground ...
Gutter level IMO.

@booboo shows they are worried about another 1/4 exit...
Someone should ask these muppets about the Cibi, Sipi Tau and Sivi Tsu and why they don't attract similar attention...or why Munster were allowed to do one in that mid week match some years back...

I doubt that Ronan knows much about Richie that they can't see from Crusaders and AB matches. Maybe what he has for breakfast or something? That is probably the real reason why Joe didn't bother calling him, there wasn't much to learn.

He surely is - as long as he realises that under The Treason Act (1922) - if he wins, we're going to stick him against a wall and shoot him!
Joe's got away incredibly lightly - compared to when Robbie Deans coached Australia.
To say something nice about him - at least Chieka is lining up on the side of the Loyalist coaches along with Hansen, Erasmus and Brunel.
I'm not averse to seeing them overcome the traitors, Jones, Gatland, Joseph and Schmidt!

If the authorities get to him before I do. Otherwise he is a coat.
I don't really have a problem with Joe, he actually hasn't been a whiney, bitchy type unlike some of the Irish press who get paid to be so. Some other coaches are of that ilk as well.
There also seems to be a question over where is originally from. Herald says Kaiwaka, Wiki says Kawakawa.If we lose tonight and I have to make a coat, Kaiwaka would be more convenient, hence me looking it up.

I know it's a professional game etc...
But screw it, if any player or coach decides to represent another tier 1 nation, he should have his citizenship revoked.

I like joe , yes he is coaching the enemy , that’s professional sport , we have to get used to it, but he comes across as a good fella

Really hope that Reece scores the match winning try. That will shut him up.
