Hopefully we can back this up with a solid performance next week,
Even if we lost to lose only one on this tour probably still gets a pass ,
But how fucken good would it be to win again and put the rugby world on notice ?
Thought we would lose all three. Need to take my medicine.
Balls as big as church bells, the lot of em.

That Lowe 50-22 had me bricking. At that point I got out of the chair. Watched the remainder standing.
Lowe was celebrating that 50-22 as if they had just won a RWC QF.

TBH with an ounce of luck they could have won it from there.

He's never had a chance to compare.

What the fuck was Bundee the mouth Aki yapping about at the end to Rieko?
Rieko might have mentioned how quiet the crowd was.
Crocodile Bundee was giving him an ear full. Two stags.

Well the green wave the journalists predicted was less Japanese tsunami and more Mexican mariachi.
Green wave, terrible expression for rugby. -

That’s why Ardie should be our 7
He is always very good at turning over ruck ball inside the 22. It's his attacking role that will need to change.

Is this a turning point for the ABs? I feel like we are just starting to click and some of the combinations, particularly off the bench are really starting to flourish.
What changes do we make for the French? I think Taylor will come back in for Aumua and Roigard for Ratima. I feel Tuipolotu is pushing a case to be a starter but he adds so much off the bench so pretty keen to keep him there. Wouldn’t mind Finau coming in at 6 and Savea shifting to 7.
I’d be happy with the following side tbh.
- Williams 2. Taylor 3. Lomax 4. Barrett 5. Va’ai 6. Finau 7. Savea 8. Sititi 9. Roigard 10. McKenzie 11. Clarke 12. Barrett 13. Ioane 14. Telea 15. Jordan Reserves: 16. Aumua 17. Tu’ungafasi 18. Tosi 19. Tuipolotu 20. Cane 21. Ratima 22. Barrett 23. ALB

Awful game. Neither side looked top 3 in my view.
But winning in Dublin is a statement.
Wind up is good.

@DaGrubster na. He did the best he could with a terrible ruck platform and still had some good touches
It’s no coincidence Roigard looked better when our subs started clearing rucks properly
