@KiwiMurph LOL , yeah am sure the allblacks are pretrified this week. Kearney is the same eijit who said before the quarter final last year not one single allblacks player was better than any Irish player
Before you go full outrage….
”Of course, they will always point to the last two quarter-finals of the World Cup which is what matters, but they will be coming to Dublin a little bit scared of what could potentially happen. And we’ll be scared too because the Irish team are always scared coming up against them.”

Rob Kearney’s All Blacks verdict: ‘They're scared of Ireland now...’
Retired Ireland full-back believes Scott Robertson’s All Blacks have arrived in Dublin scared of the threat posed by Andy Farrell’s team.

Unbelievable how this was framed in the headline

Rewatching some old ABs highlights. God I miss watching the likes of Isreal Dagg continually smacking it 60-70m down field. The pop gun boots we have now are a bit of an issue
-
Shouldn’t the team have been named by now ?

JB has got a good boot on him doesn't he? We don't see it much though.
I'm not a fan of contestibles. They must have done the analysis on it though -

Uh huh, I actually read the article too
Stupid beat up headline designed to get the keyboard warriors outraged
Lucky we don’t have any of those here!

Why would the All Blacks be scared of a team that's never made it further than a WC quarter-final? Kearny is a moron.
I really hope the ABs pull out their performance of the year and put these guys in their place. The Irish fans on social media are even worse than the English, they believe their own hype and are still dining out on that test series win in New Zealand which now feels like a decade ago.
They have a selective morality too.....
No mention of breaking Retallicks eye socket, Aki concussing Tungafasi with a head high dangerous cleanout or Sean O Brien sparking Naholo out in the Lions tour with his Matfield esque padded forearm.
And they are just off the top of my head.They are a whinging bunch of Karmeichel Hunts.
They should tarmac the kip to make a car park for England.

Fuck me the whinging here is next level. Some of you are worse than the SA fans. Did an Irishman fuck your wife/husband?

@The-Irishman I look forward to the replies here when New Zealand wakes up in a few hours.
As far as the whinging goes, I think the Irish have the monopoly on it

4 Southern hemisphere lads in the backline.

That 23 is more than capable of beating NZ
-
The Irish bench is weak. Many of those players are not that good or are way past their prime. Starting XV is decent. No Furlong and no Sheehan weakens their front row.
-
@Billy-Tell it should be a repeat of 2023 where the ABs dominate the scrum and lineout. Should tear that bench front row to pieces
