So Ardie gets a high shot down the other end and only a PK. Why wasn't that a YC???
Seatbelt type tackle, not shoulder to the head. Totally different
Yeah one was deliberately high, the other he was crouched. Piss off if you think Jordie deserved to be YC. It's ridiculous.
Lol never said that he deserved it. You've obviously not watched rugby for years, because under the current interpretation yellow all day.

@cgrant said in All Blacks vs Ireland:
The All Blacks are not committing enough players in the rucks, so they can't have quick ball and this doesn't help Ratima either.
There is an element of that .. but Ratima has also been noticeably indecisive on more than one occasion.

@The-Irishman
Most of the Irish counter rucks could be penalized as they lose their feet and often come from the side. -
Get Roigard on

Yeah, there are good signs. Defence is really good both in close and out wide. Ruck work is excellent. Like all good teams they are right on the edge.
And they had a couple of very good attacks as well, lethal when over the advantage line on early phase.

Jordie Barrett just needed to aim at the waist and it wouldn't have been high. Not crazy difficult...
In Sam's talk about the last time we played was all about aiming tackles between knees and hips... Just cos it not a quarter and the last few minutes, same thought process should apply
-
ABs have been ffgg good
-
Just need to concentrate

but our benchline backs are a bit meh. Hope they prove me wrong.
I wonder who they will take off for Finau? -

Im liking playing territory. Ireland without sexton are struggling to make any.

With the stats we should be further ahead, but still tons of little skill errors are killing is. And now the big dumb yellow

Ball like soap causing lots of problems for everyone. But, we had much the better of that half until the last 90 seconds.
Lineout going well - especially defensively (I presume that we saw no replay of the not straight indicative that the TV Director didn't think the Irish sent up a jumper either).
Scrum looks to be getting on top.
Need to keep playing down their end.
