    A Tongan on defence was tackled and brought to ground 5 meters beyond the ruck he was trying to get to in that phase.

    He was also being pushed by quite a few Irish. Not sure what else he could do.

    I’m all for getting rid of the TMO, until I see the ineptness of refs and touchies.

    Seriously, WTF are touchies doing nowadays?

    Fafita looks better at 8 than he ever did at 6 or lock

    I think Wayne Barnes has been good - mostly consistent - not calling everything e.g. rucks and flopping, - but that's going both ways. and carded when appropriate all the while communicating reasonably well with the players.

    Still can’t believe we chose Francis saili over bundee. Think it was the Henry era still.

    Jobs done though - roll the changes and keep the key players uninjured.

    You would think that Tonga could select better wingers than Kata and Taumoepeau.

    Is an internal NZR rule for our Pro players to wear mouthguards, no one else has it

    Tonga player was pinned in there by the Irish guy lying on top of him and holding onto a player underneath him. What hope did he have of rolling away?

    That's not a penalty. It's unplayable

    I like the way the Irish give the man in possession of the ball multiple options - eg there are usually several runners on good lines plus the security of passing back in and setting another ruck.

    So simple and effective
