All Blacks vs Ireland

[Victor Meldrew]

There's a lot to like about how we managed to get thru the YC and our period of usual bonehead play. Best focus (with one of two exceptions) I've seen all year

DMac is trying waaaay to hard jesus lad settle down

Sexton played the game at walking pace.

DMAC is like playing with your 11 your old brother. Every possession is a Hail Mary.

[booboo]

Irish 10 does an us

[sparky]

@Jet Too much Play Station shit.

[KiwiMurph]

Nice defence in the backs off the scrum

[canefan]

Both teams making lots of errors. Ireland keeping us close. We have to get back to putting some phases together

[BerniesCorner]

Come on ABs

[kiwiinmelb]

Ireland have been far from perfect either

[akan004]

Most of this Irish team play for Leinster so the lack of cohesion argument shouldn't be used as an excuse.

[mariner4life]

VdF beat cane to.that first phase breakdown by 10m

[canefan]

Berry having a shocker. Allowing slow play

I’d take Finlay Christie over this

Post of the Year candidate right there

Finlay has actually been ok for NZ XVs so far I think?

7, 8, 9 and 10 for the ABs have all been disappointing tonight.

[canefan]

We are obsessed with running into the teeth of the rush D. No kicking variations this week

[Jet]

DMAC just kicked away fast ball for no reason

and 12? Not been a great year for Jordie.

[sparky]

Lots of aimless kicking.

Poor bugger can't win with us.

[Gunner]

Finally some front foot ball, numbers to burn out wide and we put in a deep nothing kick

Massive lesson for Sititi too.

This is “real” rugby.
