All Blacks vs Ireland

[mariner4life]

Scores flattering Ireland that's a huge win

[sparky]

Great defensive performance.

[Bovidae]

ABs are a totally different team with DMac at 10.

[Frank]

Razor is starting to get this team on a roll.
Exciting times with players like Aumua, Sititi and Roigard in the fold.

Best AB defence in years imo.

[Darth Sader]

Sensational win! This year hasn’t been what we hoped, but feels like we’re building. Irish a bit below par, but still no pushover.

[KiwiMurph]

Our bench is better than earlier in the season because our bench players are better

Tosi, Patty Tuips, Roigard etc

[BerniesCorner]

Fu*k yeah
So so good
So very good
Proud

[Tordah]

Thought when Lowe hit that 50-22 around minute 72 after Jordan's silly grubber, that could have been the turning point. When they didn't score there, it was clear they wouldn't win. So many shit passes and knock ons from then

[nostrildamus]

This thread has been a bit of a rollercoaster.

Lol the clowns on Sky are talking up DMac

His goal kicking was brilliant

At the end of the day the NZers played well. On both sides.
The Australian, not so much.

Didn't think we had it in us.

Strangely, I did.

True but you would expect that from an AB 10. The kicks weren't overly difficult

[Yeetyaah]

Aumua MOTM easy

[Bovidae]

The forwards were much better in the 2nd half, so the breakdown was cleaner. The rain appeared to stop too which helped.

[Dodge]

Think the grief being aimed at Ratima and praise at Cam is unfair tbh, forwards were sloppy in the first half, Ireland were all over the breakdown and he was getting shit ball under pressure, second half ABs tightened up and went forward, almost an armchair ride

[Mattasaurus]

Solid win, only real two blights were.... Jordies Yellow and the two helterskelter periods in our own 22.

I think the ABs inside channel defence was massive the Irish didn't want to hit up after the first 20mins... they kept looking for the AB tackler and made numerous handling errors.

Bench was very strong, Roigard to start surely.

I am still unsettled with 10 but that would be Dmacs best 80mins in the Black 10 imo.

Felt Berry let Irish away with loads of infringements in the first 30mins.

The finishing loose trio looked bloody good.
