@chimoaus brilliant moment

[chimoaus]

They don't commit many to the break down do they.

[Derm McCrum]

Can’t believe the behaviour of the NZ players shouting and roaring like that at the Irish team. Very disrespectful. Outrageous behaviour which must be punished strongly by World Rugby.

Strong defensive start.

[chimoaus]

Irish player knocked himself out leading with head?

[mariner4life]

Ireland straight in to their pattern almost opening them straight away

Weber's little hesitation at every ruck really helped Ireland in those first couple of phases.

Crowd still pouring in or is that the rain? New Zealand should invest in covered stadiums everywhere. Ridiculous playing in this weather.

Nah fuck that, playing in the rain is part of the game. IMO they should ban non grass fields and covered stadiums

They sent Barnes down to ref, surely the punishment outweighs the offence.

Yeah it was noticeable.
