All Blacks v Ireland II

[rotated]

Rory still has PTSD from what happened in the same corner of the field 3 years ago - go easy on him.

[chimoaus]

Ireland looking tired.

[Tim]

The ref should tell that Irish fluffybunny to fuck off and stop wasting time.

[Stargazer]

Did I hear it correctly, did Scott Barrett come on for Squire? Is SB playing at 6, or has one of Retallick/Whitelock moved?

[Virgil]

These Irish are a pack of fuckwits, the Poms are more enjoyable then these piston wristed gibbons

[nzzp]

Codie Taylor cleans out beside the ruck and gets penalised. Stupid play agian.

[taniwharugby]

Try stand then?

[Voltron]

I wish the Irish would hurry up and realise that they can't win. This "self belief" shit is getting old.

[Luigi]

Ireland are on a once-in-a-century winning streak against the ABs. Of course they are going to question everything.

Whitelock played flanker in Brisbane 2011 after Thomson and Read were injured in the first 20 minutes. I imagine he is here too - a lot to ask of a rookie in Barrett to play out of position.

[chimoaus]

Biggest difference for me is the defensive effort. The hits have been massive.

[chimoaus]

That Vander bloke is having a blinder.

[Tordah]

Cruden, Perenara and A Savea really nice defensively

[Stargazer]

BFA off injured (dislocated finger). Naholo on.

[nzzp]

Irish looked very tired - compressing in the middle of the field, going backwards on offense.

We just need possession and it's all on

[Luigi]

Fucking hell, New Zealand are just too good at slowing down opposition ball. Brilliant.

Yep losing 3 players early not helping them.

[SynicBast]

Fuck me can Cruden hit bigger than you'd think

BBBR and Whitelock have made a real difference on D.
