@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

Agreed. NB allowed Ireland to attack from the side and beyond the ruck. If Rat picks it up he's clobbered.

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

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.

Patty T and Tosi are key in that bench unit

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

[kidcalder]

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

Hurricane front row is deadly

Fucking hate spidercam. Adds fuck all but they seem to love it up North

What the fuck was Bundee the mouth Aki yapping about at the end to Rieko?

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

[game_film]

Ben Kay was spot on. It was too easy for them.

[BerniesCorner]

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.

Should have held it, recycled. Deep on attack forcing them to go the length of the field
