so I assume we were not allowed to bring Savea back on?
That is ridiculous rule that he is punished as well for an accidental contact

Punished for stupidity of the leadership.

This scoreline flatters us, they should have been up by 15 at half time.
A better attacking team would have hurt us a lot more

Hats off to Ireland, red card aside, they break us down through the midfield almost every time, and they’ve definitely won the kicking game.
We look lost.
We’re passive on defense and don’t have an attacking pattern.
We are reliant on Whitelock and a few old heads, and the old heads we do have available aren’t performing.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but this may be our worst home score in the professional era.

Shoe on the other foot and it would be close to 50

I can't think of a lower score.

I think we beat Oz 6-3 or something a long time ago but when we the last time we only scored 7 in a game at home.

Y’know, I think they’d have won this without the red card, but with that hanging over it, we might not learn our lesson.

Not on here that often anymore. Life is just busy but have to say that I am just amazed that Ian Foster is the All Black coach. This team has looked mundane for the last few years. I am not from Canterbury but I am amazed that they chose him over Razor Robertson. Not sure how he has been recently as I have not watching the domestic game but he was a hell of a coach. Ian foster has never been any good IMHO. We are in for a few more years of shit and look nowhere like world cup winners. Anyway it's just a thought.

We have made far too many mistakes, given away too many penalties and our lack of territory has all culminated in a poor performance.
Ireland have respected the ball more than us, played better territory and disrupted our width game.

Another rest to halt momentum when will someone wake up to this

This really is utter shit. It's a calamity of bullshit from the word go. Terrible decision making, absolutely no structure, and some sort of rancid belief that if we just keep throwing miracle balls one will stick and it'll be a magic moment.
No. That is NOT how you compete, let alone win in tests like this. The Ireland defence is far far too strong for that. It's heavily structured, incredibly well drilled, and it doesn't fall for bullshit.
Peyper, has quite rightly, ref'd us off the park.
As is so often the case, the main issue has been leadership. From everywhere. We miss Sam Whitelock so much, he wouldn't stand for this shit. Cane, where are you? What are you doing? Are you even trying to get this shit back under control? It certainly doesn't fucking look like it.
Oh, and the icing. The absolute icing on the cake. All Black management are so fucking thick they didn't know that once Ardie was off, he can't come back in. So he should never have been taken off. In an evening chock full of sackable offences, nothing is more than that one.
Fucking idiots.

I was at that game I think. It sucked.
