Ireland would have to be the least likeable international team. What a bunch of whining plums.
As for the game, we are right in this. Ireland don't seem to be able to score and will be deflated by the last 15 minutes.
Oh I don't know about that.
Congrats mate. Showed far more composure tonight than the ABs. Set the tone in the first 10 minutes and then when the poker game started, the Irish may not have scored but they kept their wits.
Cheers ACT. It was a good win, regardless of the cards. Commiserations to NZ but it sets the remaining two games up nicely.

Almost the same team?
Minus Whitelock and a dash of Joe Schmidt?
But boosted by the return of the super AB coaching team from COVID lockdown?Reece intercept and Sexton injury helped us immensely. Ireland still dominated territory and possession last week and started the same as today.

@Derm-McCrum Luckily with my last name McCarthy and my grandad being from Munster I can claim this also 😂

I hate this
Innate to day the Crusaders team would be an improvement on this dross.
They would at least have been able to get the ball to Mo'unga and Jordan.
Mo'unga had 30 odd minutes and didn't do a fucking thing. Because our 10s aren't the problem, our coaching group is. Absolutely brainless performance, made all the worse as we have both Razor and Rennie, NZers, that would love to coach the ABs, and one is stuck in SR and the other we let go overseas. Picking Foster as the head coach after Hansen was fucking insane at the time, and after loses to Argentina and Ireland at home in amongst other dross served up by a talented group of players, is even more insane now in hindsight. Jobs for fucking mates and we're paying the price.
I'm not too worried about losing Rennie tbh, not saying he is a bad coach but he doesn't seem to have (so far) catalysed the Wallabies?

@Donsteppa only thing worse would be a Hammett and Holland combo.
Brilliant! They can be the new defence and attack coaches under supervision of Ian Foster, in a co-coaching regime with John Hart and Grizz Wylie?
Don't tell Mark...

@chimoaus said in All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test:
Ireland should have scored a lot more points given how they dominated us.
I don’t agree with that because Sexton is actually a handbrake in their attack. He is far too static and is often just shovelling the ball. When he does run he often runs at the defender and then tries to pass at the last second making it harder for his outside man.
They defend well, play with a physical presence and that is why they are good close to their line. We defend okay as well and don’t make it that easy to score against. A little easier tonight than I would like, but there were some decent defensive efforts from some black jerseys tonight.
