All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[gt12]

Wouldn’t we be better to just grab a guy and go over the ruck rather than attack the ball? They only have one cleaner a lot?

Ireland are dumb going for the last score, they are short of healthy players

Well the ref just threw his good game out the window there with that call

I think he's been very good. Very level headed generally

How is that penalty not a card?

Because after a warning then card, every consecutive penalty is not a card. Unless you want 4 v 5. A card resets that, as had always been the case

For a moment there I wondered if Karl T was going to get back out on the park again...

[Stag]

The ref made no indication of that penalty at all, nothing

[Jailbreak7]

@Donsteppa Yep me too!

[chimoaus]

Well played ABs, SB proved me wrong and great effort by all the lads.

Joke of a card.

Agreed

But the ref finally ran out of patience

For something Ireland have done all game

[sparky]

Pleased we beat Ireland and beat them well. I dislike their moaning.

Hopefully never again, out props are good enough without him. Well he didn't improve them

Whinging - ref not gonna change his mind...

They're the whingiest team in world rugby.

Credit to the ref, he let some go but it was fair and that's all we can ask for.

The go at the ref like football players at times... POM.. Good player but obviously went to the BOD school of whinging.

Tough opponent for first test of the season. We will only get better
