They backed their "cut and paste" attack to pry open the ABs defence.
That was quite the telling comment from Foz.
As if, in actual fact, they have fuck all variation, and once you figure it out, you can defend it all day.
I noticed this in my drunken haze at the ground. It was all very methodical.
Boks guy was commenting on same at pub last night, and how slow Sexton was. Perhaps after the 30th phase a pop kick might have been worth a shot? Definition of insanity and all?
They were 4 points down
Their cut and paste wasn't working. Roll the die? Pretty tame ending for them.
You're thinking droppy earlier in the match? Thought you meant that last phase, whereupon a droppy would have lost it foe them by 1.
No, just think after, say, 30 phases, a chip kick would have been worth a shot. Might have even worked.
I can imagine the outcry if BB or RM did a chip kick in the same situation and it didn't come off. I can see why Ireland didn't try one.

Completely.
Chances of NZ conceding a penalty were much higher than the chances of a chip actually resulting in anything. I didn't believe we'd stay penalty free for so long.
Their lineout drives were very very effective. We were like this:

inject that directly in to my veins. Arrogant irishmen who don't look like they have ever pulled on a pair of boots in their life talking absolute shit. Fuck where's the follow up
What the fuck is a "rucker"?
that pencil-necked fuck wasn't even a live when rucking was a thing.

and here I was trying to think of an appropriate response after watching that, and this just appeared right there.

Swoop is a dead set legend. GBRA is pretty good.

Brodie Retallick got one back on Irish back row Peter O’Mahony, allegedly telling him: “Oi Peter, four more years you ****wit”.

@gt12 seems plenty of Irish media have short memories, POM was being lauded for his sledge on Cane and even something he said to one of the Scots after thier pool match...
There is banter, which I am fine with and if the above was what happened, all good

I think that info is from a screenshot from a Whatsapp exchange between Cane and a friend. Seems unlikely that a mate of Canes would screenshot their exchange and share it around.
But it would also be unlikely that a rugby team would snort drugs off the ranfurly shield, snap it in two and then share it on social media. So who knows

According to the Roar:
O’Mahony was later asked to give his own reaction to the incident last year, which came after Ireland sealed a historic come-from-behind series win over the All Blacks in New Zealand, but bluntly said it was a “bullshit question”.
Don't give it if you can't take it mate.

Bunch of fucken sooks. Didn't hear the ABs wailing when we lost that series. Or the Lions series. Or the 2007 RWC QF. Fucken sooks

@MajorRage there were many Irish passes that looked a little forwards.
Who's the pillock who always says SavAYa?
and TamEYEti WilliamsRupert Cox probably. Has him on the Stan commentary. Idiot has Kal Te Nana effectively correcting him and still he keeps up the SarVayer.

I don’t mind the RWC commentary team. They are pretty fair. KT overplayed the whole “no one gave NZ a chance” line.

@JayCee was a ruck about phase 14, BR was over the ball, should have ended there, Barnes called away and BR quickly pulled away, so often players keep going when they have won it...the discipline in those 30 odd phases was something rarely seen by this AB side.

I think a couple of those ruck no calls were marginal
Retallick over the ball - he was quick to call no hands
Ardie over the ball - did Ardie fully detach as the tackler?
T. Williams offside - close but pulled away after one extra long go at it.
Ioane neck roll - looked to have started around the shoulders and then go higher -
i've seen another angle of the Ioane/Sexton "incident" and that makes it look for all money like the first words come from the guy in green (when Iaone had moved on to shake the next guys hand), Ioane chirps back, and Sexton blows up.
It's all dumb shit and i wish people would stop talking about it

He did a good job. I will say that the difference between Nuggy and almost any other scrumhalf is noticeable in terms of speed of pass, but holy shit even Richie's passing from the base looked disabled senior citizen in comparison.

@gt12 don’t agree there.
POM is correct it’s a bullshit question. Cane got his revenge, not up to reporters to ask about a sledge delivered at an appropriate time years ago!

and TamEYEti WilliamsBe thankful you don't have itv. Actually I drunkenly tweeted them to ask if it would be too hard to talk to the teams before a game about pronunciation. No response.
Fyangaranooka had a great game for a guy I've never heard of.

@MajorRage last year wasn't it? possibly the last time they played?
