Jordie, Papalii, Blackadder were good. 2nd half disappointing.
Needed to remain patient panicked in 2nd half
BB a big lossWas Blackadder really good? He seemed pretty ineffective to me. High workrate but doesn't dominate in the contact area and is pretty inaccurate at the breakdown.
Ardie's worst game in black this year imo.

@no-quarter You sure love to hate on Mo'unga. BB has offered nothing more in the big games. Nothing. And people are blaming me for having an eye patch, haha.

Ireland has won 3 out of the last 5 Tests against us
Was just thinking that. Nothing for 111 years and now 3-2 five years later.

It's in addition to Havili doing fuck all. At least Jordie and BB did something where as Havili did nothing. He wasn't the only one but it shows he's not the best player for the position.
Not my point game plan is fucked we learned nothing in 2 years we keep losing to the Ireland, SA England even Argentina
-
This for me, is one of our darkest days.
We were absolutely pummeled. Ireland should have won by 50.
We showed zero grit, zero game plan and tried to show boat our way through it.
And the best part? Seeing fucking Lowe, Gibson Park jumping out of their fucking skins.
I am so fucking angry right now.

I've never said Beauden is a test quality 10, and also acknowledge he is in the twilight of his career. But even so he's a damn sight better than Mo'unga in the big tests. The problem is our cupboard is bare at 10, we simply don't have a test quality 10.

Good win to Ireland.... Played the team and officials well.
ABs were poor and lacked any leadership in the halves
TJP was solid on D but actually a real handbrake to getting any fast ball, slow passing, slow options, shitty exits... No urgency at all.Sam and BBBR are on the wane?
RI is not a centres arsehole as far as positional play.
Overall we didn't value possession enough, didn't adapt to officiating, the game could have been stolen right to the end...

Neither BB or Ritchie have impressed me in tight games. FWIW, they sem uncomfortable with the game plan - whatever it's supposed to be.

@victor-meldrew We need someone like Robertson. He knows how to get the best out of players.
-
The Irish 6 was awesome. That is what akira and blackadder should aspire to.

Agree vision I think it’s called.
-
The few times the AB forwards picked and went (pick and goed?) went pretty well, when the cleaners were accurate and able to present quick ball. Only they went to the backs too soon, before the defence was sucked around the ruck. That's the halves' fault

Caelan Doris. Just cemented his spot in the first team.

On that we agree. Foster has done some good stuff this year but this game and the game against the Boks show that we need more change in the coaching set up as the big boys have worked out how to rattle us and throw us off our game.

There appears to be unusual obsession with the intergluteal cleft in a number of posts…
