All Blacks v Ireland II

[Bones]

How was Smith's card even a penalty? Ball was out, he was onside and came right through the middle with no hands.

Yet Savea gets tackled and Best gets a turnover with help from his players on the ground, Whitelock gets a turnover and it's scrum Ireland. Righto...

Good argument for a PT on the deliberate knock on by Trimble

Agree but think it was a genuine attempt rather than a deliberate spoiler.
There was a definite deliberate knock on later from an Irish player reaching one handed for a high ball

Yeah Rob kearney, serial whinger as well - he doesn't understand that if he is trying to control a ball he is eligible to be tackled

[No Quarter]

Solid D.

[Donsteppa]

A lot of phases to defend because of a half-pie clearance from The World's Best Halfback.

Unable to watch game, but cracks me up reading this thread...how much are we losing by?

Individually the forwards are all holding their form at ruck time and the defensive structure is holding comfortably.

Counter attack try coming up in the next few Irish attacking phases.

[Donsteppa]

Defensive bomb from The World's Best Halfback.

Ireland 60, All Blacks -12.

[African Monkey]

Get Aaron Simth off.

[No Quarter]

Fekitoa reflex action but off to the bin.

A Smith needs to be pulled ASAP.

[Stargazer]

Shit, now Fekitoa off with a YC for a high tackle.

Correction, not a reflex action. Just a shit tackle.

Bollocks, he had time to line that up and just got it wrong and made a bad call.

How was that yellow but Sexton on Barrett not even a penalty?

[DMX]

Get Aaron Smith off!

[Stargazer]

Moody replaced by Crockett. Moody had a good game without dickhead behaviour.

[Tim]

What does Arron Smith have to do to be dropped? He is way out of form.

[Luigi]

Bish bash bosh from Ireland, but they're not getting anywhere. Can't see them doing that all half - they'll run out of puff.

This.
