All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[Frank]

The initial major go-forward Ireland got from that phase was when Ardie rode the guy to the ground allowing him to make 3+ meters rather than crunching him.

[Chris]

All came from a poor Barrett kick it put us under heaps of pressure.

Good fucking try that. They are a bloody good side when they can build phases, they can get the ball.to space so well

Yup he's 90% shit kicking

[Steven Harris]

ABs give away so many penalties that are not required

[Stag]

@Victor-Meldrew is really doesn’t matter how the All Blacks play, Foster is a shit coach, that’s just a fact.

Bower brain dead penalty you mean?

[kiwiinmelb]

We have got to make sure we don’t spend long periods defending

[KiwiMurph]

Discipline has gone to shit since halftime.

[canefan]

Great TO by Codie. I like this QT kid. Nothing fancy but exudes calm

No the dumb kick by Barrett straight after the kick off they gave the ball away and started all that shit.

[gt12]

We can survive the bad kicking if we are accurate on discipline, and we can survive the inaccuracy if we have better kicking, but they both seem to arrive at the same time a lot.

[Machpants]

Keeping the ball in hand, running hard near the ruck = fucking winning

[Jailbreak7]

@KiwiMurph This is what happened in the MAB match. Ireland came out reinvigorated after Farrell had torn them a new one

[chimoaus]

Clear knock on from Cane missed there.

That last 20 minutes was much better from the ABs.

First 20 minutes - playing how the coaches told them
Last 20 minutes - playing their natural game

All Blacks play shit - Foster to blame for being a shit coach

All Blacks play well - Foster to blame for being a shit coach

Given how they started after ten minutes in the sheds listening to Foster...

[Bones]

Love Bower's ability to get outside the defender. We just don't take advantage

[Duluth]

Good call to go to the lineout. Don’t give them breaks

[chimoaus]

Take the points.
