All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider

@stodders I don’t think the NZRU would do it.

Time for the ‘spend more time with family’ moment I think.

Apologies if it's already been stated but it's more than a little jarring that their NZers are playing infinitely better than ours.

I think that is the most damning evidence. In a different environment with different coaches, they are playing to their full potential.

Horrible feeling not actually wanting the All Blacks to win if it means Foster keeping his job…

[Bones]

This is fucked up from the officials. Ireland defending from 2 metres in front of the offside line since halftime, holding tackled players and then not rolling away. Atrocious

[Machpants]

We may have got a try, but how tortuous was it to get there? And the only reason we got there was a bit of luck. Utter arse

[gt12]

How many penalty advantages there?

Yes Ireland are well coached but the desire to run and pass the ball and put the man in space is the difference

That desire is fostered by having a clear effective platform which allows the players to express their skills

Aaron Smith’s passing has been terrible.

Get your cards ready Wayne

[Tim]

3rd quarter using the ball!

Def should have been a yellow in there for deliberated showing the ball

The half a dozen penalties in the lead up might have been nice to signal.

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader Very slow and inaccurate today.

[MrDenmore]

@stodders Exactly. And that’s what proves it’s not about individual players but incompetent coaching staff. We can all see that. We just need NZR to do something about it and sack Foster and his team

[Billy Tell]

I though it was only ABs cynical on defence.

Honestly the ardie-haters can get lost.

[Toddy]

Huge from Ardie

Furlong is the oldest looking 29 year old I’ve seen.

He looks like he is literally made of potatoes. Some player though.

23 phases. That's what we want, to actually keep the ball.
