Bit late to the party, but I'm on board with the "let's not get too carried away" side. Scores were very close at about 30 minutes when we got an intercept try and their long-term 10 and captain went off injured, and they still went on to score a lot of points - and could have scored quite a few more on another day with the several tries they blew / we saved. Scoreline looks great, but our defense was generally pretty shit until they got to our line.
A lot of aimless kicking the ball away (and one absolute gem for the try). We keep doing this, and luck had it that in this game we weren't punished for it because the Irish kept making mistakes. We continue to lose possession and territory stats, and we will be punished for it again.Good things:
Tupaea's hands and options
Smith is a national treasure
Ioane's defence was unreal
Whitelock just keeps going
Savea late in the game
Bower and Ofa looked alright
Competing in lineoutsBad things / jury still out:
Christie was a big drop in passing accuracy, not sure he can play the same style effectively
Jordie looked a bit scratchy
Samisoni should be starting
Ardie should be a bench player
I know we've been spoiled at 7 forever, but Cane - while a genuinely excellent defender - doesn't offer a lot else
Retallick was okay, but is he going to get back to his best?
Not convinced by Ioane's passing and options still
