All Blacks v Ireland, 2021 NH Tour

[Billy Tell]

This match is what builds character. We are being dominated but our defence is maintaining it’s shape very well. Is that Scott’s job? In any case it’s match winning.

[No Quarter]

Fantastic effort from the ABs. Kept their heads and defended their asses off for the last 10 minutes of that half.

[MajorPom]

We will tire badly after all that defense. Time to change the forwards

[Derm McCrum]

@victor-meldrew

Well some points ahead. They’re gonna regret it I suspect. NZ bench should be better.

[ACT Crusader]

Blackadder, Papali’i and our backs have made some great tackles.

Dalton Papalii has been awesome

Yep. But hard to pick a bad forward TBH.

Ireland have passed up a lot of points

Will be their undoing

Not good enough to chase a game

Sub Henderson, carthorse

[Steven Harris]

Fantastic defence from the All Blacks ,but far too much rugby being played in their own half which brings this official into play

[sparky]

The sweet, sweet sound of Irish boos.

Ireland are opening us up far too easily. Good desperate defence on the line but we don't seem to be reading their backline moves too well.

We desperately need to get some possesion in the 2nd half. Can't continue to tackle forever.

What’s this half time vaccination promotion?

[Yeetyaah]

Laulala. Given away scrum penalties and fallen off tackles.

Look for another camera angle til we find what we want.

Done.

And when we don't find it make it up

[BerniesCorner]

The only negative thing I can say is the ref is taking an age to set the scrum

Moody as well has made a lot for a prop.

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

Where is the All Blacks much vaunted precision? A stupid kick by Perenara giving the ball straight back to them, a stupid pass by 7 to no-one - they invited Ireland to camp on their line for damn near 20 minutes!

This match is going to take 3 hours

[Yeetyaah]

@chris man's popping off

[broughie]

@steven-harris yep. The defense has been great but we need to start keeping possession. Is this what we expect from our forwards?

[Jailbreak7]

@akan004 We're still kicking away far too much good ball for my liking, plays right into their hands
