All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test
-
Ireland would have to be the least likeable international team. What a bunch of whining plums.
As for the game, we are right in this. Ireland don't seem to be able to score and will be deflated by the last 15 minutes.

The Irish side of the line usually sounds like Rolls Royce has set up a jet engine factory. Alongside a drama school for overacting.

The general play kicking by Barrett is just woeful. That tactic has to stop as it does not work.

Where’s davidav?

Firstly, Shand, coaches and the entire player leadership group ... not to mention all the junior shit kickers, Ross included ... need to be shot for that substitution debacle.
Scrums are UNCONTESTED for FUCK SAKE!!
secondly, the red on Gus. That's the worst example of the head contact protocols I've seen. The very definition of unavoidable.
Ditto LF.
Ofa however. Should have been a PT.
How the fuck are only 3 points down?

Get outta town! He ran into the ball carrier, actually accelerated towards him and lined him up! The very definition of avoidable!

We just put ourselves under too much pressure. We had only had 25% territory and then we go for the long throw in our own half. We then lose the ball and the red card follows. We just need to play a bit smarter in those situations and take the pressure off.
I still think we have every chance of winning this game, but it will be tough.
Why is our line out not working?
This goes back to selection.
They aren’t getting it right on the room 3 days before the test, god knows what else they are fucking it.
Clearly, Mooar and McLeod need to go.

I expect the players to come up with the right option there.

Ireland must be wondering why they are only 3 points ahead and it must be getting into their heads.
The kicking has been woeful, too many players doing dumb stuff and no calming down and riding out pressure. But the composure when under the pump in the last 15m has been really, really impressive. Players starting to up their game and a brave decision by Cane to go for the corner backed up by the team stepping up.
IF we win this - and it's a bloody big IF - it could well be a turning point. The subs are going to be crucial.

Am I correct in thinking that the All Blacks have three props on the field at the moment?
When all carded players came back on it was a bit confusing and now Ardie is off because when needed an extra prop for the scrums?

A few years ago now?
Lol They do look similar sorry I meant Ross.

@booboo yeah no way Jordie was saving that try.
Rugby has become a joke though.
No one involved seems to be able sort this shit out, somehow, league often called more physical manages to deal with it.

Or Something like that , I get confused myself
