RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

Herald saying Reiko has missed four tackles.

[stodders]

@antipodean yep. They are going after it. Even more so at the beginning of the second half

[akan004]

If we defend like SA we are up by 10.

Apparently we will have a strong wind in the second 40

At Athletic Park the old adage was play into the wind in the first half (and pass a lot) and with it behind you in the second.

[Victor Meldrew]

First 10 minutes are critical. Hold them off and we are OK. Let them score and we are toast.

[stodders]

@akan004 true. But SA aren’t scoring one of those tries.

Barnes would’ve pinged them off the park with some of their questionable breakdown tactics

[BerniesCorner]

Barnes has been fair

[akan004]

Fuck off McLeod. Don't want to see your face on screen.

[kev]

Ireland lineout looks vulnerable.

[DaGrubster]

@stodders

Kick it deep and chase with purpose.

Pin them down put them under pressure, make them work to get out of it. Set the tone straight away at the start of the half.

I thought the yellow card was ridiculous and he has missed a lot of forward passes, not the first time in his career.

They are a great team but everyone feels pressure

Fark me, Ryan is fatter than Foster.

[ACT Crusader]

Medicare Matt is sticking with the ABs

Foster’s been giving him diet tips.
