All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[No Quarter]

Nice kick from Beauden to put them on the back foot

[No Quarter]

Also, Smiths passing from the base is just sex

smooth as silk.

Sevu unable to step Brodie

[mariner4life]

The Michael Bent story is good

[No Quarter]

A replay of that would have been nice

[Donsteppa]

Our tight five already slow getting up off the ground...

Tight six you mean. Went through our pack pretty easily.

[chimoaus]

Great try all from the messy ruck where Aaron was offside.

[Frank]

Fuck, they were making meters at will.

[KiwiMurph]

Our soak defence once again......

[Tim]

Way too easy. Very passive defense. Same as the last 5 years.

Great to see them competing at the lineouts, just like 19

I assumed that a Crusader playing blindside is invisible by definition...

Big difference early - Jordie Barrett kicks the ball away on phase 4. Ireland go 18 phases and score a try. No patience.

Watching Retallick get up, look around, start walking then turn on a slow jog around ten metres out from his own tryline is a bit of a slap in the face.

[Steven Harris]

Brilliant start from the visitors
