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.

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
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

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.

Eh, he scores every week.

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
He'd be a good 10 too I reckon.

They are horrible.

Fucking unreal the doomsdayers on here. It was a shit night for rugby but the boys wanted to play. They are creating a lot of indecision in the opposition defence, they're just fucking up with hands.
I still think Roigard off the bench is good for us right now. Ratima dealt with a lot of shit that NB shouldn't have allowed as well as the big boys. I'd rather Roigard finish with decent minutes than Rat. Funnychiw quickly everyone has turned on him.
Second week in a row where the boys have managed the last 20 to come through. They didn't let the game get away in the second half and did the business.
Jordie and Rieks were superb. They're cart horses in the midfield.CammyR. His huge left boot got us out of that last ten. Big booming kicks.
Fuck the D-Mac hate. He's causing all sorts of shit. He kicked his goals and challenged the line.
Boys took most of the bombs too. Superb.
How good does AA look now he has some minutes on the field. So now we have CT, ST, AA and a few others below them.
I've been harping on for yonks ever since they decided to put Marky Mark on the left his best position is 14. He just beats defenders like nobody's business.
Not hearing too much of the Razor hate at the moment...
