Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown & Dublin Duel

[Rapido]

Crotty realising his 'time' is being taken from him. Knows that there are about 10 guys jostling for those 2 spots. God knows the lay of the land in 12 months or so when he's able to return.

Poor bugger.

[Donsteppa]

Dane Coles and Aaron Smith are regressing to the mean in a big hurry.

[No Quarter]

Our lineout is killing us.

[Gunner]

Half time cant come soon enough.
Does Hansen go the silent treatment, or tear them all a new one?
Id go the latter.

[kiwiinmelb]

WTF is going on in the lineouts ?

I think I read we are missing a couple of locks to injury...

[taniwharugby]

lineout sucks....

[Donsteppa]

Pace of the game is glacial.

[Mokey]

Uh yes, commentator, we do fucking need a specialist lock out there.

[Rapido]

Watching on slight delay, long injury break. Naive American ground PAs, dont they know you blast out 90s pop music during serious potential career ending injury delays.

Don't let the crowd clap.

[taniwharugby]

our restarts and taking of high balls sucks too

[Donsteppa]

These fluffybunnies really are on holiday

[dingo]

Now thats a shocker

[Crash]

I can't believe I'm paying to watch this shit

[Donsteppa]

Someone lock Aaron Smith in the toilet at half time.

[taniwharugby]

No way the Irish can lose this one, reckon odds on them winning 2 will go up HUGELY

[Mokey]

And unfortunately on top of everything, Barrett is having a shocker too. Fuck. We're a shambles today.

[Stargazer]

The ABs are not playing well, not the least because of all the injuries, but it has to be said: the Irish are very good. Full credit.

He's been poor, we need TJP's extra physicality in the 2nd 40.

Big lead now for Ireland. 2nd 40 will be a cracker.
