For all the Akira hate I can't recall Paps doing much tonight.
Covering for Cane

Sam Cane, 67% win rate as captain, worst ever?
See above ... Taine Randell ...
I'll venture to suggest my great uncle (Mum's uncle) Jack Manchester...google him (50%).

The one consolation I take from this is BOD never got to taste this success.
But Sexton did. That fucking stings.
It realy is amazing the hate people have for sex
peiceTo be fair... Never met the guy. Just seen/heard him talking to refs, and after-game interviews.
And from that....never wanted to meet the guy.Most punchable face in world rugby except maybe for his coaches son

Can we stop picking non specialists now?
Pick a goddamn six who is also a proper line out target. Develop Paps to be the next 7.
Weird take. Our lineout was good tonight, better than Ireland's. It's a waste of a player to have one 6 to take lineout ball. There is a lot more we need from that position.

Big questions will be asked about the decisions of who to sub for the YC and RC. Between the coaches and manager they fucked that up.
Plenty of other concerns but why was Ofa not replaced? He was a passenger when on the field.
If Ofa was replaced, we would have to go down to 13.

@nzzp they both played well below their best and were fair to poor.
Midfield wasn’t great.
Fainga’anuku would’ve learned some lessons.
Jordie okay, Reece defensively good.
Not Sam Cane’s greatest game.
Brodie what’s up with the hungus??? Scott Barrett some good, some errors but no dumb cardable stuff.
Bower toiled. Both of our hookers were below par. Ofa is good for 30-40 minutes max. He was poor.

The Irish defence is rather good
Or is our attack really bad?
Considering BB try was a fluke then yes.
Take away his flukey stuff and you take away his game.
Then again I don't remember him gifted an intercept before and not being able to run at least 20 metres with it. -

Richie woulda kicked that
He has pretty average tonight too.
Richie was pretty good when he came on. Trouble is we were playing catch-up rugby with 14 men. He wasn’t dropping his passes and getting the ball thrown behind him.
