[Stargazer]

ALB injured? Havili has come on.

[No Quarter]

That really was incredible defense late in the half.

Is Gibson-Park contractually obliged to throw his hands up at the back of every single ruck?

Learned that at the Hurricanes… 😉

It's his Irish DNA

25 to 30 years ago Irish crowds were famous for being the most sporting in the world. No any more. Times have changed.

[Billy Tell]

Is alb off. Havili is on in any case.

@sparky

Oh give over.

[booboo]

Beauty.

[sparky]

@derm-mccrum I'll always back Black and tell it as it is.

[No Quarter]

Ireland have passed up a lot of points

[Yeetyaah]

Powder dry for the second half

[Derm McCrum]

@sparky

I’m sure you will.

[ACT Crusader]

We have fronted and our fitness and determination in defence has shone through.

Nice to get down our end every now and again though….

[Chris]

We will win this on the back of some gutsy D.
We done boys.

[BerniesCorner]

Dalton Papalii has been awesome

[Victor Meldrew]

I'd imagine the ABs will be happy with that - Ireland should be 14-20 points ahead.

[Billy Tell]

This match is what builds character. We are being dominated but our defence is maintaining it’s shape very well. Is that Scott’s job? In any case it’s match winning.

[No Quarter]

Fantastic effort from the ABs. Kept their heads and defended their asses off for the last 10 minutes of that half.

[MajorRage]

We will tire badly after all that defense. Time to change the forwards

[Derm McCrum]

@victor-meldrew

Well some points ahead. They’re gonna regret it I suspect. NZ bench should be better.
