@booboo Haha, did it arrive by snail? Was already posted.
Wasn't sure if it was or not. Hadn't been reading the thread. Stumbled across a tweet by @Davesofthunder and thought it'd be remiss of me not to at least mention it in case it hadn't.

Wtf was wrong with that. Did he say you can't turn the tackled player?
Said you can’t jackal if you have flipped the player to your side
That was an interpretation I've never come across before.

Yeah it's odd, even as a kid you know to turn back as quick as you can to stop the ball getting caught on the wrong side.

Good game from our boys. The Irish even got gifted a try that should have been disallowed.
No one really had an off-game, all performing well against a pretty weak Irish side, it has to be said.
My stand-outs: Dmac, Stevenson and Love in the backs; and MMT, Gardiner and Tuipulotu in the forwards.
Disappointed Thompson didn't get more time on the paddock.

As a Cant/Crusaders supporter I have not taken too much notice of Gardiner so I watched him closely. The boy did not look out of place. I can now see why he was picked.

Only together for a week? Wow love to see what they can do after two weeks!

Yeah seems like bad planning to only get two games, I really enjoyed that.
-
How good was this Ireland side? Did a poor team make us look good?
-
I really think we need more of these games against the likes of Northern B teams if not just highlight players under the top team but also our up and comming coaches
Several players in my opinion stood out in this game
Without counting guys that have worn the All Black jersey before
I thougt Love ,Stephenson and Lam were superb at the back
and in the forwards Mikaele Tu’u ,Gardiner and McAllister impressedVery good games from Patty T, TJ ,D Mac and RTS
Ennor great on defence -

Comments guy squealing like a pig suggesting a YC , but quiet as a mouse when the ball went out and the AR does nothing
Would have been a 50-22 as well. (An 80-22 actually more like).
Robbed ....

@Crazy-Horse the team that played NZ Māori during the series down here was a better team , only 3 or 4 in this squad with over 10 international caps

Love's ascension continues. Great player.
For all the question marks during selection I thought Gardiner was great at 6.
Has he got Barrett blood, I swear I thought it was Scott at times.

Can't wait for the battle next week betwèn Macca and Razor.

Yeah earlier in the year they had more of the 1st XV guys available because it was a midweek fixture. This team is a better representation of Irish depth in reality.

Gardners old man was a decent 7 in his time Angus.
