RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

New Zealand beating itself again. Dominates world rugby for a decade, exports its IP coaching and playing talent all over the world and then fights its own shadow. You get a sense they are in mythical arm wrestle with themselves, both figuratively and literally. A tragedy.

It’s a professional game. Coaches and players just looking for the next job. Yes something has been lost.

Ireland looking pretty good chasing a game. AB's playing better than I thought they would. Cane has been huge so far.

[The Irishman]

All Blacks forwards superb at the breakdown, Ireland nowhere to be seen at times. Ireland nerves are affecting them hugely. Lots of errors. But they are still in it. Excellent first half of rugby.

@kev Oh I get that. As with everything, money and the ‘global market’ destroy culture.

First half stats. Very even. Ireland perhaps playing territory better.

The obstruction penalty on Frizzell and the YC for Smith is absolute bollocks. As M4L says, there were forwards passes before that no called as well.

We need to stop giving away easy points after we score. It’s not allowing them to feel the scoreboard pressure.

Very good work at the breakdown but we have to shore up that defence. It’s very poor defending to give away those 2 tries.

Cmon Black - big 40 minutes coming. We can do this.

Ireland's compusure is a huge worry. Down by 13 and they have come back well. Granted they have been massively helped by us. They will be the ones with the belief atm.

Big worry. First 10 minutes...

[stodders]

So given Aaron Smith has the YC, does that mean he’ll play now to the end?

What the fuck has Rugby become if that is a YC

[Joans Town Jones]

I think the ABs are beating Barnes at the breakdown. There's 2 or 3 they should of had defensive penalties and don't get me started on the YC.
