All Blacks vs Ireland

@Canes4life said in All Blacks vs Ireland:

That’s why Ardie should be our 7

He is always very good at turning over ruck ball inside the 22. It's his attacking role that will need to change.

[Canes4life]

Is this a turning point for the ABs? I feel like we are just starting to click and some of the combinations, particularly off the bench are really starting to flourish.

What changes do we make for the French? I think Taylor will come back in for Aumua and Roigard for Ratima. I feel Tuipolotu is pushing a case to be a starter but he adds so much off the bench so pretty keen to keep him there. Wouldn’t mind Finau coming in at 6 and Savea shifting to 7.

I’d be happy with the following side tbh.

1. Williams 2. Taylor 3. Lomax 4. Barrett 5. Va’ai 6. Finau 7. Savea 8. Sititi 9. Roigard 10. McKenzie 11. Clarke 12. Barrett 13. Ioane 14. Telea 15. Jordan Reserves: 16. Aumua 17. Tu’ungafasi 18. Tosi 19. Tuipolotu 20. Cane 21. Ratima 22. Barrett 23. ALB

A really good shift from
Our forwards tonight and great impact from
The Bench forward the boys up front won this test match.

Awful game. Neither side looked top 3 in my view.

But winning in Dublin is a statement.

Wind up is good.

@DaGrubster na. He did the best he could with a terrible ruck platform and still had some good touches
It’s no coincidence Roigard looked better when our subs started clearing rucks properly

@Jet I think you're an Irishman masquerading on here as a kiwi, you know too much....

[MadGav]

@voodoo yeah no idea how anyone can not come away from that game thinking it was a major step up in game control from DMac

We really shut them down. I’ve got to say, I’d be all for starting roigard and having hotham on the bench. Ireland really need a refresh. Squad and tactics. But not our problem

Roigard is mustard.

It’s not even a conversation in my opinion.

It’s his jersey.

Nobody owns an AB jersey.

This sort of comment explains why Ireland have never won a QF.

Ireland are ranked 1 and beat SA in SA. If you truly believe you are worthy of this, you don’t say things like the above.

@Frank but South Africa weren’t playing Shaun 🤦🏻‍♂️

What a season Sititi is having, this time last year he hadnt played super rugby, now he is a bolted on starter in the AB pack, seems in good nick too despite coming to the end of what is no doubt a massive workload he has put in, in his first full professional season, and just 22 years old!

@Frank the cope is strong. Matt Williams called Ireland entitled.

The Monday review will be brutal for Ireland.

What a moron comment.

No one cares, we could end up number 1 within the fortnight.

And they would have pumped Ireland by more.
