Can someone tell Aaron Smith to stop doing ineffective box kicks.
FIFY

Yes finally. Time to see if Mo'unga can make a difference
-
They seem to have changed the way they rule contests in the air now. England got away with a couple last week as well.

Ireland playing all the rugby on the back of a shitload of penalties. Not really doing a lot with it though.
Great defence both sides, not many missed tackles out there.
I think we’ve just got to keep plugging away, a chance or two will present itself and we’ve just got to bloody nail them when they do.This is a lot closer to my half time assessment than all the doomsayers here this morning!
I thought your All Blacks took the ball up with particular vigour and deliberate physicality in the first twenty minutes and, in defence, they are taking the tackled player backwards most of the time.
Ireland has had plenty of opportunities with a lot of the second part in the All Blacks 25, with no profit.
To me the All Blacks look pretty much like their usual patient first half selves.
You are not being helped by Mr Barnes - I have a .pdf copy of his Wikipedia page, as amended by ungruntled All Black supporters immediately after the 2007 World Cup, which you would enjoy but I don't know how to upload it.
And those over-excited Irish commentators have fair dinkum missed their ride to the Formula One commentary box and turned up at the rugby by mistake. They had the Irish no try scored from the moment their No 4 took the ball at the top of his line out jump!

@no-quarter Rieko didn't land on his back/head/neck. That's why it's not a card.
-
need to stop forcing the pass
-
Haha that's a bad mistake.
-
@taniwharugby yeah, Ireland fucked slowing it down
-
Best chance of the game coming up. They need to score here.
-
Maybe we got a lucky one there
-
Barnes and forward passes
