Our bench pack is getting springbok-esque. Ireland had no answer. Aside from Ratima the selectors had a good night.
The ALB sub was a black mark. Could have easily blown up in our faces

@Billy-Tell Yip and once Ireland lost Furlong pre match their frontrow stocks drop hugely in class

At the end Tosi with ball in hand and a grin.
Pure terminator. What a find.
I'll be grinning all week until I get to Paris next Friday.Patty T and Tosi are key in that bench unit
Hurricane front row is deadly

This may have been mentioned but the obsession with spider cam shots and lack of replays for penalties has been annoying in recent weeks. It makes me appreciate the NZ rugby coverage more.
Fucking hate spidercam. Adds fuck all but they seem to love it up North

What the fuck was Bundee the mouth Aki yapping about at the end to Rieko?
Rieko might have mentioned how quiet the crowd was.

Not something I've heard said much during our history...

I called this after the 2nd Oz game.
Our power off the bench is a point of difference. -

Aumua playing well. Plenty of go-ahead

No. It's been deserved at Times

That Lowe 50-22 had me bricking. At that point I got out of the chair. Watched the remainder standing.

Definitely lots of teaching moments in there. Some poor choices taken, lucky we managed to hold them out, with help from the Irish themselves at times. But we are winning, and as we know it is a habit that needs to be developed

@BerniesCorner Never in doubt. Wasn’t a terrible kick by Jordan. But in that situation needed to be a bit smarter.

Should have held it, recycled. Deep on attack forcing them to go the length of the field

Hopefully we can back this up with a solid performance next week,
Even if we lost to lose only one on this tour probably still gets a pass ,
But how fucken good would it be to win again and put the rugby world on notice ?

Yes, it would be a hell of a way to finish this season.
It has been a deeply frustrating season with some great moments in most games.
Nobody should be really happy with what we have seen this year but if we beat France then suddenly the All Blacks will be looking pretty ominous for the other sides.
We will only improve and we have some talent like Holland who will make a big impact next year I feel.

Jordie Barrett after the card was fucking good too. The dinky shit from the first half was put away and he just carried. Defended really well, and owned the kick off space. His best half hour in a while as well
Jordie is great when he plays to his size.
