All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider

My halftime thoughts. Ireland are on fire - very well structured.
ABs attack is awful. ABs defence is awful. We can’t handle their players in front of and to the side of the ball carrier.
Cody Taylor should only throw to Whitelock - any time he’s tried to throw it to a non Crusader it’s gone pear shaped.
Hilarious that Ireland have been throwing not straights all series yet we get pinged for one.
Worryingly even Jordan looks lethargic tonight.
Furlong is the oldest looking 29 year old I’ve seen.

You have to give Foster credit. He's seeing the same issues but is still a glass half full kind of guy 🤣
Nah nah, we just don't know what goes on behind the scenes and are losers for caring anyway because it's only a game of rugby.

Drop all Ioanes
RI has pace... That's it, the vision and ability to put a mate in space is just not there. He had his best test a couple of weeks back... But being tepid since...
AI been okish tonight amongst an average pack..

Reiko drops it cold tells me it’s confidence in what they are doing no game plan.
Reiko is full of mistakes. Just like the other players selected. Their collective execution sucks.
Every player that gets selected plays shit under these idiot coaches.
It's not just the coaches though, it's the culture and the players too.
Complete clear-out needed.
We thought by selections that we could run Ireland off their feet. Stupid selections and tactics.
RTS looks like a disaster selection now. Stupid.

Ireland are a very well coached but limited team. They don't really know how to run up a score when the opposition is way off their game
Hmmm.

In fairness Derm, the evidence prior to this test pointed to this. Ireland have taken another step up in this test. Bet you're proud ☺️

What I would select
Bower, Taukeiaho, Laulala
Retallick, Whitelock
Barrett, Sotutu, Savea
Smith, Barrett
Havili, Goodhue
Ioane, Jordan, Reece
res: Ross, Coles, Tuungafasi, Ioane, Papili, Fakatava, Mo’unga, Barrett
Just going to post this again.
Barring a miracle we are going to be destroyed in the 2nd half, and that should be the end of the absolute hapless foster and his bunch of merry men.
Your team wouldn't make any difference. It has Laulala and Barrett who have been two of the worst offenders out there.
RI has been diabolical at 13. No my team wouldn’t make a difference but at least players played in position.
Once again NZ need a genuine loose forward lineout option, but where is grace?

I'm in the mess having a function before crossing the road to the England Wallabies match and checked the halftime score. What the fucking fuck is going on? Everyone should storm the coaches box and beat the occupants to death.
