    Rewards good defence. Makes the risk of pick and goes higher

    I like it

          Yup. Players need to not go for a try Willy Nilly ( love that phrase)

            Better passage of play in the last five minutes by Ireland A, but not getting the reward.

                Poor tactics from the Mฤori to kick high , kick long and force them to play from deep ,they will kick back and thatโ€™s where you can launch your attack

                  @Duluth ABs were "smashed" in Dublin last November and the Irish performance was savoured in the NH as a standout. Do the AB performances now get an asterisk against them?

                  Not sure who you are arguing with or what you are arguing about

                  I wasn't arguing ๐Ÿ™‚

                  Just a comment to yours. Touring sides in NH rarely get an excuse that they are at the end of a long season or that they are playing second stringers. You can only beat what is put in front of you, tired or not. All end of year tours have an element of fatigue for the touring side.

                  I agree.. and if they are tired I hope the ABs inflict some mental scars

                  I also want to know from the Irish fans if this squad lacks the depth to put out a good B side

                    A few holes in the MABs defensive line and good passing by Ireland to exploit them.

                      Liking Barnes reffing. Minimal and good use of the TMO and communicating really well.

                        A couple of the Mฤori forwards looked like they needed that breather while the TMO was deciding. A good passage of play from Ireland.

                            Best ref in the world. Like the ABs, maybe need the 07 quarter disaster to make it

                              Irish centre looks a bit worse for wear.

                                When ABs were so far ahead of the pack, that was understandable. Now there is no gap, the small differences that fatigue (especially mental) have on performance can be acknowledged.

                                Winning away from home at the end of the season is achievable, but not to be expected. You guys had a ridiculous run in the NH for a period in 2000s/2010s.

                                        This should be giving the ABS some food for thought while also sowing a few seeds of doubt in Irish minds
