Too many hero plays from our boys. Just keep it simple<br><br><br>

<p>Which ones Higgins, and how big? Trainor has a Super contract doesn't he? But i wouldn't imagine it would be that big.<br><br><br>

<p>TJ Va'a at the Hurricanes, Sam Nock at the Blues and the guy Stevenson at the Chiefs as well as Leni Apisai at the Hurricanes for starters. In addition Va'a and Malo Tuitama have had full contracts for the Wellington Lions for the last two seasons and there are probably others also on Mite10 Cup contracts with other provinces.</p>

<p>The only forward who has been playing well in this game is Mikaele-Tu'u.</p>

This is what happens when Auckland is under represented in the team..

[Derm McCrum]

Well done Deegan!

[Stargazer]

<p>Ireland are in again after another failed scrum from NZ. 28-19</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Sam Nock, what a shocking performance</p>

[Higgins]

<p>As I write  this  (my previous post) Alex Fidow's inability to prop a scrum gets shown up graphically. Ireland score from the resultant penalty.</p>

[Derm McCrum]

McPhillips doing brilliantly again.

[Stargazer]

<p>Converted. Ireland leads 30-19 with 73 minutes on the clock.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And then NZ (Tuitama) scores! 30-24.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>replacement scrumhalf on for 20 seconds and already done more than Nock the whole game</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>What's that NZ replacement halfback trying to achieve with kneeing his opponent while he's putting the ball in the scrum? Lucky the ref didn't see it. What a moron. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And then again, now giving away a penalty. Who is that?</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Ireland up to 33-24. NZ can't win anymore with less than 2 minutes to go. </p>

[Billy Tell]

Our scrum is just embarrassing. Humiliated. You can't expect to win without a set piece. Not to mention yet another NZ goalkicker who can't.

[Stargazer]

<p>And it's over! Ireland win 33 - 24.</p>

Did I hear that he played for Samoa in last years tournament?<br><br>
Well done young Paddies. Brought the heat up front on defence and stunned our forwards. <br><br><br>

Is this supposed to be summer? What awful weather. Just an absolute hole.

It's called rain. Happens occasionally up these parts.
