The 7-1 bench paying off there.

Scrum post changes has just monstered Ireland.

Worrying for Ireland, esp as their line out is shit

[Kirwan]

Bok have them in both the lineout and scrum now.

How did NZ pass on James Lowe 🙈

He wasn't that good when he left, he's improved a lot

We had better wingers at the time , quite a few

What happened to them?

5 years ago is a long time

Were they looking at obstruction?

possibly by the looks of the replays

[chimoaus]

So who do we actually want to play in the quarters? Preferably neither lol.

[taniwharugby]

@booboo probably JOhnny pushing 2 players....

We need to qualify for the quarters before we worry about that.

[Bones]

Imagine taking that long to kick and missing an easy one.

[Mattasaurus]

Foster must be watching this and wondering why these two teams kick so much ball away from their own 22s.... just amazing innnovation

[stodders]

@Victor-Meldrew they copied NZ. NZ forgot what they were good at.

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus dunno, thier kicking isnt much different, its the accuracy and chase that is different

The difference is it never lands in their half, NZ on the other hand.

[Billy Tell]

De Allende and Kriel will never win a flair contest but they are fantastic defenders.

Pass I think.

[Machpants]

Not much wrap in that clean counter ruck

I haven't seen any dinky BB specials from either side.... but yes I take your point.... although we kick shorter

[sparky]

Ireland win a scrum penalty.
