RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

[booboo]

@NTA said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:

Ireland's should spend more time playing and less trying to milk penalties.

Their attack looks disjointed and hesitant.

Yeah JGP tried it on a couple of times.

[NTA]

Lol a chip from Beaugan and they're in. The bullshit bounces are back baby!

[NTA]

Jeez not sure about "no head contact" from RM. Sexton can fuck off tho

[NTA]

Doris having his worst game in recent memory. In fact Ireland's handling is letting them down in general

[NTA]

Noticeable: players acting up a bit whenever they get anything like a high shot. Both sides.

[NTA]

ABs maul right before Ardie's 34th minute try was clearly illegal - lifters offside.

What an utter arsehole Rob Kearney is! He could have shown some humility on the final whistle and said “I called the All Blacks defensive passive. I was wrong.”

Instead he bagged his own team after they slogged their guts for 80 minutes. Irish Rugby deserves better than smug gits like him.

[NTA]

Every AB defender's eyes light up when they have Sexton in front of them and half a step away with the ball

Ireland's maul on 38:05 exactly the same.

Great dart by JGP. All tries scores by Kiwis so far.

Not sure if I’m missing something here ?

Ireland have got “smug gits” like Sexton, O’Mahoney and before them O’Driscoll so I’m unsure what Kearney has said that’s so offensive ?

We'd never just bag our team after we lost ...

Nope, first one was by a Tongan

Best bits:
Cane walking on
Temaiti Williams face running on
JB legacy save
80 mins of determination, accuracy and intelligence

Worst bits:
Some of the up n unders

I'd like to see Roigard (bench), Dmac and Telea next game.

That double pump pass by Jordie in the lead up to the first try was nice

[mariner4life]

Rob Kearney was a bog average player so why would anyone care what he thinks?

[NTA]

Jordan's try: poor work from Ireland's hooker coming off receiver at they lineout. Their #4 bit after Smith as well instead of just filling the gap.

Van der flier marked his man but has to change lines.

Don't see what was wrong with his comments. He was right: Ireland didn't play near their potential (based on the 54 minutes I've seen) and lost because it it.

I'm mindful that you get to sit in the position of a winning team's fan, and feel a degree of sympathy for Ireland.

Were you as sanguine when the ABs didn't win any RWC between 87 and 2011?
