I also want to know why we cantt be as quick to the cleanout or as well drilled.

I love how an Irish carrier looks isolated, at the tackle, but the cleaners come from a distance with such perfect timing. So they have awesome momentum and hit exactly as the ball carrier goes down

Not sure we have a chance against either of these teams at the moment. Roll on the Razor era !!

Aki has been sensational , makes you wonder why NZ rugby didn’t keep Ngani Laumape, it’s such a point of difference having a big dynamic ball carrying 12
Especially with the rush defence

To right. Why didn't we keep Bumdi ?

Our clean out work and discipline will need to be exemplary to beat either of those sides.

Our loosies don't come close to these two teams. As my brother keeps saying to me .. our balance is all wrong and compromises the collective loosie trio

He chose to leave, can't force him to stay, unfortunately.

Ball not even touched by a Saffa but sexdoll loses his shit trying to say it is

[The Irishman]

Bok physicality is something to behold. Got to say its impressive how we have withstood it so far. It will be interesting in the 2nd when the "bomb squad" come on. Not sure wtf was going on with that line out early on but hopefully introduction of sheehan will improve it. Great fucking context, I don't know how anyone can call this a bore fest.

[Mattasaurus]

Great clearance.

I never use to get so excited about solid exits ...

[game_film]

@Steven-Harris Amen brother

[Machpants]

Ireland may we'll lose this on their line out. Wasting points

[chimoaus]

You almost want to tell your players if you don’t have a team mate within 1 metre do not run at opposition.

[Machpants]

Faff de Clark, apparently

[stodders]

How did NZ pass on James Lowe 🙈

[Machpants]

How embarrassing for Eben 🤣

[Mattasaurus]

I would still rather play Ireland in the quarters.....

He wasn't that good when he left, he's improved a lot

[Stargazer]

@Machpants He was also almost always injured.

[chimoaus]

Take the three you would think.

@Machpants sign of good coaching. No good coaches left in NZ?
