@ACT-Crusader A bomb could have gone off today and she’d still ask about 2016

[Mattasaurus]

will be interesting to see the injury toll and impacts to the squad

[Bones]

That's the thing right? Ireland did fuck all and capitulated. Sure you can only play what's against you but man Razor is getting lucky. When was the last time Ireland were that shit?

Holland MOTM... WTF???

They had to pick someone

He made a couple good plays. But in general thought he made quite a few errors tonight.

Anne Frank would have been proud of his performance. Didnt notice him.

[cgrant]

Williams, Sami T, Tosi, Sititi, DMac were outstanding from the bench.

Did they not look at the lineouts?

Should have been Jordan right

Seems pretty obvious to TSF that DMac and Leicester probably come in (assuming JB is out). Razor will get one of those right

@Mattasaurus Two of the Barrett’s out for the next test so great

[game_film]

Fuck me, does she get paid by the 2016 reference?

There's the problem right there. Holland says AB rugby is about chucking it around. AB rugby is about ruthlessly dismantling opponents

The issue is if you believe he was telling the truth as opposed repeating the PR message.

Probably the wrong two

Leicester or De Groot for me.

A much better last 20 for the All Blacks - I think that is the blueprint for what the coaches want us to do. I guess it is up to the individual as to whether you like it.

The game plan seems to be “be one of the two teams in the game for 60 minutes” and then throw the ball around and use our skills to score more points than the opposition in the last 20 mins.

[ACT Crusader]

Overall a clunky game but always great to beat Ireland.

Fainga’anuku was very good. Plays direct and is hard to get to ground. The way Ireland defend you need that extra time on your feet to allow support players to arrive. Him and Clarke and also Quinn provide that.

Plenty of negative that no doubt will be highlighted, but happy to win and a shame we couldn’t get that last try.

Parroting the party line? Hmmmm

[sparky]

Great to learn both that we won that and that the last 20 minutes were significantly better than what proceeded them.

Lots of work to do before Scotland next week.

@African-Monkey What’s that got to do with Holland? Taylor was the one throwing them not straight.
