      The counter rucking and size in the backs are really nice changes

        Ireland are buggered and shit. That's how we've done it. This is a paper over the cracks win.

          So the takeaway from this is let the coaching group work from home?

                The Irish ran out of puff about the same time their B team did against the Maoris

                    Ireland go to shit when Sexton is not there and now he failed the hia. Does that mean he's out for next weekend too?

                      BB and JB kicked to keep them pinned back. The forwards upped the linespeed, and started tackling with some venom, we are passing around their defence and there is space.

                      We look fitter, and we are winning the scrum battle.

                          Home and hosed

                          Terrible kick chase gets punished

                          Learned nothing from Māori match

                          And NZ are committing 1 maybe 2 to the breakdown and looking to turn the ball over in the wider channels

                          And Ireland are playing in to their hands

                            Interesting that Ireland have done the exact opposite of their game plan of the last few years.

                            Our kicking game is much better tonight, and Gibson-Park has been terrible.

                              The good news with this lead is they put PGS out at six for a lot of minutes, move SB back into lock.

                                BB kicking still aimless, but shines in general play.

                                  @mariner4life Agree and disagree. We get high on these wins but if this was SA and there was a forward and territorial battle would the result be the same? We do well in the helter skelter game but what about when it counts?

                                    Ireland couldn't maintain their intensity for more than even 20 minutes. I thought they'd go at least 50 minutes but they looked gassed at the end there and the penalties started mounting.

                                    ABs definitely started growing in confidence, Tupaea led the way there for the backs and the rest followed. Some really classy touches from Beauden as well, people massively over state how bad his punting is. It's not a strength but he can boot the hall 60m+ no worries, near the start he won the game of force back with a long kick into space and got us on the front foot.

                                    Looking for a much more accurate second 40 to really put them to the sword.

                                        Tight five are doing their job. Ireland are swimming around at the lineouts and there is no clear separation when they attack the ball so the refs interpretations are keeping Irish forward pack in it.

                                          Marshall saying Cane hit Sexton on the chin without mentioning that Sexton had fallen about a foot and was 6 inches off the ground lol.

                                          There's got to be better commentators out there.
