Thanks, only just got home. Can't see any Ireland matches on Amazon, they have to make it complicated don't they.

Nice one Ireland and Scotland last week

I’m afraid to say, but Reece let us down quite a lot there.

Concentrate on your passing, TJ!
Takes three steps, lobs a wounded duck pass out for someone to get smashed as it arrives.

Obviously I hope you never stop doing this, because it never stops being funny given how often it blows up in your face, but do you think that maybe your player rating system of "good" or "complete shit" needs a few more steps in the middle?

Lowe is an inconsistent player but when he's on, he's on - it's not hard to see why they persist with him.

Phenomenal performance from him today.

Done and dusted.

Over a 4-hour period, international rugby went from a tedious insult to paying public, to just about the ultimate sport.

Well done Ireland, and to NZ for their character.

They bullied NZ from the start, probably should've scored 2-3 more tries but shot themselves in the foot or NZ managed to heist crucial turnovers on their own line. NZ looked and played like a team of individuals. The backline continues to be weird with Reiko at 13 and no cohesion at all. There were negative levels of leadership on display from the Kiwis, and they lacked a bruising carrier or two and only really looked dangerous when afforded loads of space.

Ireland were excellent, aggressive and attacking right from the start, and never let up.

This match felt as one sided as the Scotland/SA game, or the world cup final - the scoreline flatters NZ.

Great match.
All Blacks must be regretting that forward pass with the line in sight. Not as sharp as they normally are, partly caused by Ireland's pressure.
Ireland still needed to be more efficient in the first half, but deserved that win - great stuff :thumbup:

He strikes me as a guy who's really good if he starts and there's a clear gameplan. Not so good when the team is flailing and he needs to come on and chase the game, he can too easily look indecisive.

Serious answer, appreciate it! I had only watched the first 15min or so, Ireland looked hungry and pumped, but NZ scored an easy try. Great that they pulled through. And in such a convincing way.

Any player who gets pinged for that blocking at this stage has no excuse. It's never missed these days.

If anything he’s being generous to NZ. Ireland dominated every aspect of that match. Better in every department. A couple of crucial turnovers saved NZ blushes on the scoreboard. Ultimately we barely deserved to come second in that match.

Well played Spuddies.
