Get your cards ready Wayne

How many penalty advantages there?

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

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

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.

Aki slowing the ball with his body was card worthy.

Build phases, hold onto the ball and build pressure, simple really.

Absolutely stop giving the ball back

[KiwiMurph]

Credit to Ardie. Brilliant.

Why like the French game do we have to wait to get smashed for the first half to play like this.

He's from Ireland so it's probably not unlikely

@MiketheSnow said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:

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

When you run the game back, NZ had plenty of opportunities to do the same in the first half but chose to either kick possession away or close down space but sending cut out passes to the flanks without drawing the derence

[Machpants]

Aki from the side and head to head...
