@taniwharugby A bonus point in a EYO test? It's not a tournament.

Congrats to the Paddies.

well done ireland , pretty weird time for us to give up that record after breaking the other record

Beautiful from the Irish. 111 years, but there's a first time for everything.
Does this mean England are the no. 1 team in the world?
-
If we had to lose to anyone this year, I'm ok with the Irish.

Still like contemplating which limb to be cut off.

Yep, a well deserved win to Ireland. Enjoy the night!

Wow, well done Ireland.
Well coached, well executed, you brought your A game and deserved the win. Congratulations.
All Blacks almost did enough - lacked cohesion and accuracy, partly due to the quality defence that Ireland brought to the table. Joe Schmidt should take a bow, that is one quality coaching performance. and the attacking mindset got them over the line.
I don't feel that upset to be honest. A little sad to lose the unbeaten record against the Irish, but it had to happen. So well played.
That said, it felt like a bit of a perfect storm. Bad discipline, poor handling, key injuries, not responding to the ref - all leads to a loss. Lucky it wasn't by more to be fair.
Well done Ireland, well played and well deserved.

I made a point yesterday on the Maori thread that our receiver in general play is way too flat. Julian dropped the pass at around the 67-68 minute mark because of this when the pass went sightly behind him. The same thing happened when Squire fired the pass forward to Coles in the last ten minutes. I have seen so many tries called back due to the pass being forward as a result of this flat alignment. This annoys me no end.

Congrats bro!!
The Dublin game will be a whitewash, given this was supposed to be the walkover!
