@Winger said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
My view is rugby has become a bit too nice and PC. So well done to Rieko. We need more of this. It might seem a bit low but f++k it. It will help bring the crowds in for the next match between NZ and Ireland.
And I'm not meaning physically dirty play on the field. Keep stamping this out including anything related to the noggin
The real reason Johnny Sexton was left absolutely raging at All Black
The moment was a sour end to a tremendous knock-out match
He could have cried

All a bit overblown this innit?
totally.
Check out the vide from above - it shows how minor this was, and how the good stuff going on aroudn it isn't talked about the same way. Lot of respect for the two teams
There's still an element of the media which looks for any reason to accuse the ABs of being cheats, dickheads or whatever.

a funny half glass full kind of thing that: look at the amount of time for possession OR keeping them out without a penalty letting the clock tick on..

Such sweet, sweet salty tears
We got on the wrong side of some refereeing decisions.

Wouldn't mind if he shared what they were. My memory is limited to Jordan's try Whitelock's steal.

Found this aerial view of the final sequence. It’s quite good in showing the defensive alignment of the ABs.
Also credit to Ireland as they did very their attack throughout - short balls, long cut outs, wrap arounds - angled runs etc.

@ACT-Crusader the communication, confidence, trust and tenacity shown there has become very rare in the past 6 years. Amazing to watch that and see them just all lined up every time, getting off the ground and not panicking.

What was the difference between Ardie and Sam winning the turnover? Other than the ref calling it?
-
I don’t begrudge them their success but they had got very cocky very quickly and incident like PoM made it worse.
Imagine the crowing if they won.
I had the utmost confidence we will beat them that day and knew we would come at the with something they had met seen from us in a long time.

@LatsToTheMax the arrival of the ref at the ruck.

Ardie totally won that turnover.
It looks so much worse from that view eh, and Sam's looks completely innocuous.
There was also one on the other side of the field about 3 mins earlier I think with BBBR that probably should have been called as well. Funny, it was a sign for two weeks later that Barnes didn't want to make a call in the last few minutes.

We know refs swallow their whistles at the end of tight games, but that was poor.
Those overhead vidoes are amazing. Show how much is going on. My season tickets at Eden Park were always end on - the best view of who's working and who's shirking. Earl Kirton used to do this too ...
But seriously, it was end on , or prime middle of the middle (which is $$$).
