RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

I think the ABs are beating Barnes at the breakdown. There's 2 or 3 they should of had defensive penalties and don't get me started on the YC.

@stodders said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland: So given Aaron Smith has the YC, does that mean he’ll play now to the end? For our sake, I hope so. He’s possibly only got another 160 minutes in black after this game, no risk of burning him out…

@DaGrubster Ireland at every back move is obstructing more than Frizzel. He was looking at the ball FFS.

@Victor-Meldrew said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland: I genuinely think the Irish are worried. They haven't been able to dominate us at the breakdown, get a stranglehold on the game and know it's stupid stuff (I'm talking to you Will Jordan & Shannon) which has kept them in the game. We have less to fix than they have, I think Let's see how fosters half time wisdom affects the team

@Joans-Town-Jones That too, utterly baffling

@Victor-Meldrew yep. AB kick off the second half. Have to pin Ireland in for 7 mins. Easier said than done

@stodders said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland: @Victor-Meldrew yep. AB kick off the second half. Have to pin Ireland in for 7 mins. Easier said than done We give them too much space on the edges.

@antipodean yep. They are going after it. Even more so at the beginning of the second half 
- 
							
							
							
							
First 10 minutes are critical. Hold them off and we are OK. Let them score and we are toast.

@akan004 said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland: If we defend like SA we are up by 10. Barnes would’ve pinged them off the park with some of their questionable breakdown tactics
