All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

[Duluth]

A couple of years ago the biggest question about RI in the midfield was his tackling

[Bones]

Would have preferred to see what Fakatava could do here

Jordie at 12, this will be interesting. Quinn was sound tonight.

Nice time to try him out in a live game situation I suppose

[Gunner]

Terrible, terrible play right there.

Might as well have taken the penalty instead of playing for the advantage!

[Mattasaurus]

I've been critical of RI on defence..
But tonight he's been great... Those two try saving tackles are great., but for me it's the organisation and communication in defence in general play that has been particularly impressive.

[KiwiMurph]

Jordie's boot has a tendency to be very wayward at times

He's been good. Really calm & confident at 12.

We only gained 10m, refs usually bring it back for the penalty there

[sparky]

Reiko have a huge game.

[Tim]

Is Jordie just thick?

[mariner4life]

We can absolutely get better at 15

His game has mistakes in it

Guy who played Wednesday looked good.....

[Stag]

@Duluth his one on one tackling has never been that bad, it’s his reading of defensive screens that has been the issue and still is.

Was Kane the brains of the family? Because Scott and Jordie certainly aren't and the jury is out on BB.

[Machpants]

Brodie needs more pokes in the eye, great steal

[Gunner]

Big play from Retallick in the lineout/maul.

[No Quarter]

Nice work from Brodie there

[Machpants]

W for piston wristed gibbon bibs?

[broughie]

@KiwiMurph even with his mistakes Barrett is head and shoulders above anyone else.
