Really interested in the ten decision now. Has to be roigard, neither ten have had a good go with him yet
Wow. Bold
Haha, just poor English had to be roigard at nine

Huh, I thought DMac was excellent tonight. Exits in the first half in particular were orgasmic for a AB fan that hasn’t seen a good one in about 7 years
Goal kicking was ace
A couple of bad options, but shit, he handles the ball about 800 times per game, he’s not going to get them all right, especially when he was getting served tripe for 50 minutes
The bombs were all on the money for Clarke to compete too
The quick throw was def mostly on Jordan - he probably shouldn’t have thrown it all all, but when he did, it was such a weak pass that DMac had to come back to the ball towards the sideline and into the traffic. If the pass was quicker he could have gotten into space on the outside
I have Aumua as my MOM, but DMac was great tonight

@mariner4life That pass made me feel things. A thing of beauty.

Interesting to hear Aumua said they felt quite fresh at halftime given the stop start nature.
His fitness must be top notch
The lad is a monster.

Only saw 2nd half but I continue to have serious reservations about Jordan at 15.

Aumua was a terminator.
Injury really is NZ’s best selector.

Our front 5 and the tight reserves did their role well tonight.. another ref and they would have had a lot more pens in the first 30mins.
We are actually building some nice depth in 1 - 5

Needs to sort out cleaning up a bouncing ball, but he gives us something Beaudy doesn’t from 15.

75 mins then 6 days later 78. Some of his tackles were scary as, his attack is always great

Reading back the in game comments vs post game are amusing...
Maybe things are starting to turn, sure plenty to work on but winning is winning

Watched it in an Irish pub. Got to be some of the most fair weather, thin skinned supporters I’ve ever come across. Most had their back to the screen with 10 to go.
Just makes it so much for satisfying.

What is that something? I don't see it. Certainly isn't decision making.

The defence was excellent tonight and the front five were really good. The attack was more patchy, but some good moments. I think Ireland were rusty, the ABs showed more energy too

@akan004 said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
Can't decide who was better, Rieko or Amua. Both were outstanding tonight.
Yeah Reiko very good tonight. That pass he made to put Telea in space is exactly what we need more out of him going forward.

He’s an animal.
