All Blacks vs Ireland

The problem with Ratima seems to be his lack of confidence. He was hesitant to clear the ball off the rucks, something which he has never done with the Chiefs. Against a team who is systematically counter rucking, this is a big brake for the team.
@cgrant He had to contend with some messy shite some caused by Ireland some our own doing.
He did well - the ref got his stamp on that and Roigard came on
Ratima made a few errors but by and large played the hand he was dealt as best he could -
What the fuck was Bundee the mouth Aki yapping about at the end to Rieko?

Jordie Barrett after the card was fucking good too. The dinky shit from the first half was put away and he just carried. Defended really well, and owned the kick off space. His best half hour in a while as well

Just needs to keep doing the basics. Pick his time to do the magic. That goes for many in the backline

At the end Tosi with ball in hand and a grin.
Pure terminator. What a find.

Our bench pack is getting springbok-esque. Ireland had no answer. Aside from Ratima the selectors had a good night.

The ALB sub was a black mark. Could have easily blown up in our faces

@Billy-Tell Yip and once Ireland lost Furlong pre match their frontrow stocks drop hugely in class

Hurricane front row is deadly

This may have been mentioned but the obsession with spider cam shots and lack of replays for penalties has been annoying in recent weeks. It makes me appreciate the NZ rugby coverage more.

Fucking hate spidercam. Adds fuck all but they seem to love it up North

Rieko might have mentioned how quiet the crowd was.

I called this after the 2nd Oz game.
Our power off the bench is a point of difference. -

That Lowe 50-22 had me bricking. At that point I got out of the chair. Watched the remainder standing.

Definitely lots of teaching moments in there. Some poor choices taken, lucky we managed to hold them out, with help from the Irish themselves at times. But we are winning, and as we know it is a habit that needs to be developed
