Beauden Barrett defending very well.
Yep, very noticeable at the game that he made some important tackles. The Reece try was from a BB tackle creating a loose ball.
Kicking game pretty good too, after an early nothing kick.
I thought that a couple of kicks from deep in the 1st half could have been better directed when he kicked directly downfield. That could have been BB's intention but there was so much space wider for a wipers kick.
BB was considered in my MOTM voting.

Reece's 29th minute try was due to a very laboured, and inaccurate, pass from Sexton. I guess he had gotten his head knock when he slipped into a tackle a few phases earlier.
Up until that point the game was pretty even. NZ making some mistakes, but our set-piece was better.
That whole passage of play from the Irish, even before Sexton was pretty untidy, there was a fumble backwards prior to the sexton contact and was a mess from there
That whole passage of play was the perfect example of how and when things will go wrong for a team like Ireland when they go off script.

@Duluth is there any actual analysis or is it just jizzing over good bits?
There is no proper analysis on that show. Considering some of the pundits coached to a high level it's shameful
