All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Not good enough to start, let alone be captain. He's injured so often that he's never at > 80%. Dump him.

[LABCAT]

Sam Cane, 67% win rate as captain, worst ever?

[broughie]

@KiwiMurph Canned answers. Sounds like Foster.

My son just got naked to his undies, put a blanket around his shoulders and is running around the house. I remembered that this is just a game.

Since the NZRU don’t seem to want to solve the issues with this team, I cant see any reason for me to worry about it.

I thought you were going to say he was Irish for a second.

Can’t fight genetics

[Bovidae]

Big questions will be asked about the decisions of who to sub for the YC and RC. Between the coaches and manager they fucked that up.

Plenty of other concerns but why was Ofa not replaced? He was a passenger when on the field.

to be fair, not his fault completely.

[chimoaus]

For all the Akira hate I can't recall Paps doing much tonight.

[Jailbreak7]

Sam, Sam. How can you possibly show massive character

The one consolation I take from this is BOD never got to taste this success.

But Sexton did. That fucking stings.

It realy is amazing the hate people have for sex
peice

To be fair... Never met the guy. Just seen/heard him talking to refs, and after-game interviews.
And from that....never wanted to meet the guy.

@stodders Foster will take a lot of "learn" from this loss

A lot of younger players just not accurate enough.
Box kicks wtf?
Get your tackles down by bending at hip. It matters.

See above ... Taine Randell ...

I'll venture to suggest my great uncle (Mum's uncle) Jack Manchester...google him (50%).

Most punchable face in world rugby except maybe for his coaches son

[chimoaus]

A loss we needed to have to build and learn for the WC?

@gt12 said in All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test:

Can we stop picking non specialists now?

Pick a goddamn six who is also a proper line out target. Develop Paps to be the next 7.

Weird take. Our lineout was good tonight, better than Ireland's. It's a waste of a player to have one 6 to take lineout ball. There is a lot more we need from that position.

Dessicated powder

[mencey]

This team needs wholesale changes. Not even sure why cane is in the team let alone captain. To take Ardie off was a joke. Foster must go.....
