RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
It has to be said but it’s a fantastic game so far. Yeah we’ve done some dumb stuff but man it’s intense. There’s scoring and we are attacking the breakdown like demons.

Discipline has been an issue under Foz for 4 years. Only fitting it rears it's head again

It's been shit since 2019. The issue is it hasn't been fixed

Without trying to state the obvious, Possession will be key , both teams have points in them

How does McLeod have a fucking job?

Our fucking media are too soft on them too. Not once have I heard a reporter question McLeod and Foster about our passive D. Such an outdated way of defending.

also, I cannot stop seeing Sexbomb as a hobbit every time he gets the ball he hunches and scurries

Holt shit. What happened to Matt Rogers? Looks 80.

New Zealand beating itself again. Dominates world rugby for a decade, exports its IP coaching and playing talent all over the world and then fights its own shadow. You get a sense they are in mythical arm wrestle with themselves, both figuratively and literally. A tragedy.

I genuinely think the Irish are worried. They haven't been able to dominate us at the breakdown, get a stranglehold on the game and know it's stupid stuff (I'm talking to you Will Jordan & Shannon) which has kept them in the game.
We have less to fix than they have, I think

WTF was that penalty for?

WTF was that penalty for?
I'm sorry but this Ref team is a fucking lottery. I heard one penalty called for players around the ruck? I reckon I've seen at least two penalties against us at the ruck with no Mic near it other than being the ball carrier on the ground. It's like they're being told, keep the game close.

It’s a professional game. Coaches and players just looking for the next job. Yes something has been lost.

All Blacks forwards superb at the breakdown, Ireland nowhere to be seen at times. Ireland nerves are affecting them hugely. Lots of errors. But they are still in it. Excellent first half of rugby.
