All Blacks v Ireland II
-
@Kiwidom OMG!!! Did they dare say some nasty things about some AB players??? Unforgiveable!!...label them as "whingers"!! That'll teach em!!
Some Irish were actually partisan about their own team and not always completely objective?? Good God, what is the world coming to??
Hilarious double standards. -
@bluedex mate, the same old crap happens when it comes to the AB's touring up north. Generally the fans are fine but more and more your press are just complete bell ends (and ours) before and after every game. Really we should just play our games on tour with 10 men as we are bound to committed 5 red cards offenses during each game so why start the game with these players and why not let your press chose who should be left out. It grates after awhile.

@Wreck-Diver You have a point. I've seen press from Aus and NZ when the Lions are down there that would make you fear for the fate of humanity. Similarly we have some pretty feral South Walian press that lay in to England and many things English come 6N time. I deal with them all in the same way - I don't bother to read them or take notice of them even. Sometimes it is unavoidable and gets shoved under my nose in which case I shrug it off as par for the course and only to be expected.
But in reality I'd have to dig pretty deep to find much of this stuff and in fairness you guys seem to get a lot more of it shovelled over to you - maybe the UK press anyway. I'd think you'd have to dig deep to get any Irish press though?

@bluedex You obviously live in a cave, so enjoy those green tinted glasses your wearing mate!
Unbelievable. The level of bitterness from some because anyone from another country would dare to be critical of the NZ national team is absolutely amazing - Preciousness.
Continue to moan and whinge about the country where you work and live anyway "mate". Nice one!!What is unbelievable is the bs that you just wrote. I am often critical of the arrogance and preciousness displayed by a lot of AB fans, but not in this case. The Irish have been nothing short of disgraceful. Most Kiwis I know have acknowledged that the Fekitoa tackle was bad and warranted possibly even more than a week's suspension. We just don't buy into the Irish whinging on the Cane tackle and the assertion that the Abs are thugs. And why should we when this team does not have a history of dirty play. Grow up.

That's my point. There is very little "whingeing", whatever you are being led to believe. You're talking through your hole just because the AB's didn't receive their usual level of adulation for a game in which they won, remember. The NZ bitchfest continues, from some quarters. Oh the irony...

Haha. Look, we all know what the press are like. The NZ press is exactly the same and has the same perception in the NH. Why do you even pay attention to it and get so wound up? That's what I think is hilarious.

Just have a browse through social media and the other rugby forums...the Irish are still at it. You are fooling nobody and are coming across as a massive sore loser.

Total BS. Look at rugby fora and you will see the opposite. You are coming across as an ungracious, pompous and arrogant winner. I'm not Irish BTW, if I was I wouldn't post here.

Don't think you're Kiwi in any case...
There has been a decent amount of Irish whinging, not all fans but a substantial amount.
However, if you remove the ridiculously hyperbolic articles from Neil Francis the response hasn't been too bad I suppose if I put my gracious hat on. -

OK. I'm sure you won't be surprised when you get a world of shit from the press (NZ) during the Lions tour, we will then be painted as horrible hosts. But Yeah.

@bluedex I was just on Planet Rugby....yeah, still not convinced by your bs.
Planet Rugby...haha...is that the best you can do? Everyone knows that's a vipers nest full of total BS spouted by a small group of idiots.
Hmm how concerned am I that you're not convinced?? Lol -

No, not in the slightest, it always happens. Hopefully we don't start throwing our toys out the pram though!
BTW the Lions is way, way, behind the NH national teams in level of interest and support. A lot of rugby fans aren't that bothered about them at all. -
@Billy-Tell No I'm Canadian living in Ireland. Can I ask where you've seen all this "whining", apart from the few BS articles that all rugby followers here wouldn't even read?

?Can you find a rugby forum please, or a blog from rugby supporters? Boards.ie is not one and the majority of people posting on it wouldn't have a clue about the game, as it's a minority sport in Ireland, as in Canada.
The one thing I am seeing though is that your taking a small group of loons posting BS on social media (some of it a wind-up) and then applying their views to the general population. I have heard nothing about the game all week and I work in a building with a 1000 people.
