I knew something wasn’t quite right.

Yup, slowing down their attack for no gain

Feels like thats going to bite the Irish in the bum by not scoring there. NZ will come out at half time and take this.

They're all knackered but don't want to show it so it's a sprint to the tunnel at half time 😂

30 seconds to half time and an easy penalty kick to get within 2 points. Why wouldn’t you kick it?

It's the scourge of the modern game. Where is the illegality in just being beaten by a stronger pack. The whole idea of the scrum is a contest for the ball with one team having the advantage of the put in. It's has just been bastardised into this bollocks and its terrible for the game
Silly argument. If a one team is negating another team's superiority through continually conceding penalties, they need to be punished.

It's like the arguments you see when a defender takes the head off a player legitimately diving for the line to score. Do it legally or don't do it at all.
How is being pushed off the ball negating their advantage? Just losing the pushing contest is a penalty these days. The scrum has become a boring abortion.

I’m hoping we’ve got our NH yellow card and penalty quota out of the way.

Couldn't get over how the TMO kept insisting on showing more slo-mo freeze frame replays of Taylor's YC offence, even after the ref said he'd seen enough. Ridiculous.

Anyway, this ref loves to "have a chat" with him so expecting plenty more of it...

No, whistling for things three phases later is not letting it flow, it's being slow (or not very perceptive)

The Irish really do have some great moves when on fire. I think they are the spiritual guardians of this great game.

We need to empty our bench now.
The guys have been battered and they are exhausted.

It does look like this might be the game where the NZ squad is running out of gas

If this doesn’t make the NZ RFU sit up and take notice then nothing will. We need a change. Get someone new (Robertson not Gatland FFS) in.
