Interesting to hear Aumua said they felt quite fresh at halftime given the stop start nature.
His fitness must be top notch
75 mins then 6 days later 78. Some of his tackles were scary as, his attack is always great
He’s an animal.

@akan004 said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
Can't decide who was better, Rieko or Amua. Both were outstanding tonight.
Aumua was my MOTM, with Reiko not far behind.

Only saw 2nd half but I continue to have serious reservations about Jordan at 15.
Needs to sort out cleaning up a bouncing ball, but he gives us something Beaudy doesn’t from 15.
What is that something? I don't see it. Certainly isn't decision making.
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.

@KiwiInLondon said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
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.
They are horrible.
-
The problem with Ratima seems to be his lack of confidence. He was hesitant to clear the ball off the rucks, something which he has never done with the Chiefs. Against a team who is systematically counter rucking, this is a big brake for the team.
-
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...

Sorry, "which is" and not "who is". My AI doesn't function well.

In an Irish pub in Vancouver, so fucken proud and drunk
Get up onto the bar and do a haka for the win

@Darth-Sader said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
Berry getting shit, but I thought the way he reffed the breakdown suited us.
I was going to post the same thing. A NH ref would have likely meant the breakdown would have been even more of a free-for-all. Berry penalised players for not rolling away more than many other refs would have.

@Jet said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
The worst set of fans I’ve ever sat amongst.
Outside the stadium in the city in a non rugby capacity, lovely people.
During a match a horrible set of bastards.
Good luck to em.Kunts.
I've met some nice ones. Clearly you struck a bad batch. Or I struck a good batch...
-
Our best recent performances have been against Ireland. We look in control. Some may say we're in their head. #loveyoureiko

Start Roigard next week so we can see him against DuPont.
Antoin will be looking for an autograph.
He'll have to catch him first
-
That Nisbo stat is insane, he’s called 54% of all AB tests.
-
@Billy-Tell said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
I don’t care if Berry is letting stuff go. Ratima needs to assert his authority.
If he tries to get too in involved , JGP scrags him. That was the forwards job to clean up his ball.
-
Jordie Barrett after the card was fucking good too. The dinky shit from the first half was put away and he just carried. Defended really well, and owned the kick off space. His best half hour in a while as well
-
Well watched that in a bar in Wales( apparentlyJerry Collins old regular), and loved it. That was f***en good win. Will sleep well tonight.
-
@mariner4life said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
I think I might be a bit clouded on DMac by that little fuck around with Jordan. Otherwise he kicked lots and passed in front of his forwards.
The 2nd half was so good once we went back to 15.
There's something there. He just has to shed the Harlem globetrotters shit. Of course that might be reflective of the instructions from his coaching team. Certainly the plan is not helping him execute well
-
@cgrant He had to contend with some messy shite some caused by Ireland some our own doing.
He did well - the ref got his stamp on that and Roigard came on
Ratima made a few errors but by and large played the hand he was dealt as best he could -
What the fuck was Bundee the mouth Aki yapping about at the end to Rieko?

Just needs to keep doing the basics. Pick his time to do the magic. That goes for many in the backline

At the end Tosi with ball in hand and a grin.
Pure terminator. What a find.
I'll be grinning all week until I get to Paris next Friday. -
This may have been mentioned but the obsession with spider cam shots and lack of replays for penalties has been annoying in recent weeks. It makes me appreciate the NZ rugby coverage more.

Our bench pack is getting springbok-esque. Ireland had no answer. Aside from Ratima the selectors had a good night.

The ALB sub was a black mark. Could have easily blown up in our faces

@Billy-Tell Yip and once Ireland lost Furlong pre match their frontrow stocks drop hugely in class

Rieko might have mentioned how quiet the crowd was.

poor old Dmac.
guy throws him the ball from touch its his fault
gets thrown a bad pass and he dropped it its his fault
passes the ball and gets dropped its his fault
puts a bomb up and not recovered its his fault -

I called this after the 2nd Oz game.
Our power off the bench is a point of difference. -

Aumua playing well. Plenty of go-ahead
Yes, has been getting a lot of unnecessary stick this year
No. It's been deserved at Times
Well hopefully they piss right off after todays efforts

Ben Kay was spot on. It was too easy for them.
-
That Lowe 50-22 had me bricking. At that point I got out of the chair. Watched the remainder standing.

Definitely lots of teaching moments in there. Some poor choices taken, lucky we managed to hold them out, with help from the Irish themselves at times. But we are winning, and as we know it is a habit that needs to be developed
-
@BerniesCorner Never in doubt. Wasn’t a terrible kick by Jordan. But in that situation needed to be a bit smarter.
