Can anyone tell me the last time Ireland conceded 11 turnovers while only winning 4? That's what makes it a choke for me. They were profligate.

NZ have several, I believe. They will be affected greatly, hopefully.
You reckon Aki, O’Mahony are staying?

It’ll be a very different Ireland team by the next World Cup. A lot of players wrong side of thirty.
