They backed their "cut and paste" attack to pry open the ABs defence.

That was quite the telling comment from Foz.

As if, in actual fact, they have fuck all variation, and once you figure it out, you can defend it all day.

I noticed this in my drunken haze at the ground. It was all very methodical.

Boks guy was commenting on same at pub last night, and how slow Sexton was. Perhaps after the 30th phase a pop kick might have been worth a shot? Definition of insanity and all?

I love watching this highlight of ALB coming across the field at the 1:04 mark -

@JayCee 3rd ruck on that has Ioane and Jordie Barrett cleaning for a Savea carry - they really had the whole team drilled for breakdown work. Got to take your hat off to the coaches and players for nailing that.

yeah that was sweet

@MajorRage James Lowe had a great chance to score, but fell on his arse. Amazing work by the special agent.

[Tim]

@JayCee At 4:11 it looked like Ireland had found space on the left, but backs kept their composure and Lowe looked done.

[Tim]

@sparky It was a 4 on 3 for Ireland, but defence covered the channels well and Coles came across.

[Tim]

For people wondering about Ioane and shit talk, he was clearly neck rolled at 5:00. He came up with something to say, and I imagine he would have continued.

[Tim]

Cuts away right at the end, but Ioane gave them a spray when ABs got the final penalty, and why the fuck not.

[Tim]

Whitelock and Scott Barrett were huge in that last sequence.

@nostrildamus well around here a quote i heard recently seems apt...

If you meet more than 3 assholes in a day, maybe you are the asshole.

Depends if you're a proctologist or not.

Watch it again and enjoy!!

No doubt the pass at 79:57 was a mile forwards too.

Barnes being Barnes

On sledgers , Coles is my favourite , at least hes funny

[taniwharugby]

@JayCee was a ruck about phase 14, BR was over the ball, should have ended there, Barnes called away and BR quickly pulled away, so often players keep going when they have won it...the discipline in those 30 odd phases was something rarely seen by this AB side.

Thought Foster summed it up well: "A cut and paste attack"

That is gold

@kiwiinmelb

Colesy is up there with Bismark Du Plessis in keeping the old school ethos alive

[sparky]

@kiwiinmelb You can take the boy out of Paraparaumu…..

[taniwharugby]

@Victor-Meldrew tbf that would have typically worked on our usually passive d and ill-discipline.

@taniwharugby Fozzie & McLeod playing rope-a-dope?
