I believe the citing commissioner and or the teams can refer the citing's . I also believe that all cards for foul play are instantly referd. Yes that is correct. Fekitoa will probably get some time off, that was a dodgy tackle. Cane on the other hand was clearly a head clash and nothing will come ...

I don't care about the AB citings. 2 weekends ago the ABs turned up to Chicago and played touch rugby in one of their worst defensive efforts ever. It was embarrassing. This last weekend they put the ship right and hoed into and cut down anything that moved. Good on them and the result is in the pap...

Hopefully Kaino is back for this test to lead the defensive effort. Re jerseys isn't it the home side that are required to change their strip. Why are the French making their blue darker to match the AB's Have the NZRFU rolled over to allow the French their normal strip so addidas can release an AB ...

I think Ireland will struggle this weekend. The ABs might have sucked the last pint of blood out the Irish bodies. A week ago I wanted Ireland to win vs the Wallabies. Not anymore. The AB showed them up as a pack of soft cocks in the weekend. Perfect fodder for a Wallaby side with a solid skill set....

Cane will be fine, he was unlucky and it was a split second collisio/head clash. Feki might get a week but he was sanctioned with a yellow which is about right. He'll want to reflect on his technique there though as it was unnecessary (but helped stop a try threatening movement). ABs have to have fa...

I don't have a proble3m with the say the kiwis played. Yes it was a bit dirty but they are kiwis and it's what they do. It's up to the ref to police it properly. It's not that long ago they attempted to murder an Irishman so in the great scheme of things And Pyper policed it as he saw it. Penalty c...

If an All Black team had: 66% of procession 70% territory 15 vs 14 for 1/4 of the match 14 vs 4 penalty count ... and lost a key test 9 - 21, then coach and players careers would be over. Captain would fall on his sword and the country would implode. So either the Irish choked or the defensive and m...

Just been reading a couple of the Irish papers and their perspective on the game and tackling. Absolutely classless. And I touch the NZ Herald was a J.O.K.E

Really suprised Sexton wasn't pulled up despite Barrett scoring the try. Thought NZ deserved a half way penalty once the try was awarded. It was dirty play from Sexton.

vh5150

If the (very few) Irish want to whinge about the result at least whinge if winning tries came from forward passes or the ref not bowling you penalties. But to lose when the ref blew a homer, you had territory and procession stats and against 14 for 1/4 of the match then at a) acknowledge a fearsome ...

An important "lil" innings for Williamson. Been a bit scratchy by his standards over the past couple of test series in tough conditions. Sets him up nicely for the home summer. Raval looks a pretty organised opener. Knows where his off stump is and has softish hands and it helps NZ to have 2 lefties...

Time for a Kiwi/Mick group hug? Always, you beautiful thing. I watched the match today at an extremely enjoyable Kiwi/Mick party. I was lucky enough to be in Chicago a fortnight ago where every single Kiwi I met joined us in celebration. The internet can suck my balls. :thumbup: :nod: :thumbup:

Crappers dealing to the number 2 ranked side in the world.

If there is one thing you must do its win your home games and series. A promising start to home summer but it won't get any easier with the ball tamperers arriving in late Feb.

Another great showing from Ireland, they really are a well drilled outfit. We were so ill disciplined, was a frustrating watch. We did defend superbly well, that's a bonus. It was a great test match where the better team won, same as two weeks ago. Everything else is just noise. Exactly :thumbup:

Congrats to the Irish again on bringing it in the return fixture. ABs fully tested mentally and physically. Go well vs the Wallabies next week. Your front 8 are as good as anything going in test rugby currently.

Well his shoulder didn't touch. Head certainly did. :lol: I know for a fact your eyesight isn't up to the task! http://i.imgur.com/G8O0qLL.png "shoulder didn't touch" indeed... The heads never clash. Rewind it 0.25 secs. The heads are already recoiling from the clash in your posted image. Naughty b...

Clear try. One angle showed Sextons arm under the ball. The other angle clearly shows end tip of ball on blade of grass. TMO got it right.

The ABs remarkable record vs Ireland continues. Ireland yet to beat the ABs at home or in NZ in 111 years of test rugby.

Well done boys and congrats on reclaiming the Raeburn Shield.

vh5150

Irish played great and had the rub of the green today, at home, against a wounded AB side and ref who was blowing a homer. Did the Men in Green choke today ???? Or were the ABs just an immovable object??

vh5150

So was this a tired NZ side at the end of a long season or was it an Irish team playing at a new level? I don't think I have seen an NZ side bossed around so much by one team before (tonight and a fortnight ago) They hate the physical stuff. They can't handle it legally - which is why they resort t...

A brutal test in many aspects. AB team woke up this week and kept their try line intact. The stats will show a fine Irish team dominated this test. But test rugby is about more than that. AB skill levels under pressure superb. Discipline still a prob.em for them though. But nice to get one back agai...

There should a third test and decider ..... at Eden Park

vh5150

Plenty of ticker from this AB team against a fine Irish side. Against 14 for a quarter of the match but the killer punch was lacking today as the AB defensive effort has been immense.

New international trailer out. Impressive. Most impressive.

So republicans have the presidency and both houses of congress. Quite a turnaround on what we were told would happen. Whatever you think of Trump the US now has a president, after 8 years, who can put the senate to work. I imagine the first 100 days memo will be to break Washington corruption, repla...

Once again congrats to Ireland and the Irish fans. It really was a superb display of rugby. And that's what is needed to beat the number 1 side. 80 minutes of utter concentration, in your face defence and show some enterprise. Brilliant and not with all their top players available either. A young si...

Firstly I don't think it will happen. I think NZ will bounce back and win in Dublin. But it's certainly a possibility. And I'm interested to hear the potential impact posters think a second loss to Ireland would have on NZ Rugby, Irish Rugby and the game more broadly? According to sport shock jock ...

Better team won today. Simple as that.

Let's see how the AB players and coachs respond. That's the real test now.

Today I cast my mind back to 1997. I was working at a hospital in London and used to chat daily on the ward with a young Irish man about rugby. He's was very ill but hoped to see the Irish tip over Fitzys team on that end of year tour. The AB s won in Dublin that year and my Irish rugby friend died ...

Congrats Irish. Loved the ABd comeback but still cheered every Irish score. Well deserved. Great day for rugby. Expect the ABs to go full tilt in Dublin with a bigger pack.

Hats has lost the plot. Better he focuses on what's immediately ahead of him with his Welsh team. He is coming across as remarkably insecure.

So very Crappers.

Seriously we need to build an indoor greenhouse with dust bowl practice pitches and fly in subcontinient street cricketers and Nike factory workers who spin the ball twice as much as our domestic players.

NZ is so susceptible to either extreme pace or extreme spin.

Saw Dr Strange today. Thought it was excellent. Certainly the best Marvel Movie since X-Men 2.
It was a bit like the bastard love child of The Matrix mating with Inception. And a quality cast.

vh5150

Super gutsy win for the Crappers who judged the conditions perfectly and picked a smart team ( winning the toss helps ). Fully expecting them to rip out my heart in the decider but happy to be on the bandwagon for now. Put themselves in a position to contest for a historic series win.

If the Wobboes want a successful tour up North they need to really nail their kicking game, breakdown work and tackling. Too much to fix in too short a time.
