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.

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.

Managed to catch the last couple of innings. Sporting theatre at its very best. Good on the Cubs.

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.

vh5150

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.

vh5150

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.

Fight hard Nick and do the things you enjoy often. There are hundreds of types of Brain Tumours but are you dealing with a Glioblastoma Multiforme ?

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.

The footage shows Savea going at Speight who draws away one DHP comes in one the angle and clearly extends his right arm to make contact with Savea followed by his shoulder. Savea had a chance (let's say 50/50) and DHB tipped the balance with a contentious line. That brings in the TMO. DHB's actions...

Cheika and his management team need to start looking within their organisation. Yes Retallick was likely holding a player back illegally ( although Nigeria was right there and no penalty issued ). However retaliation and in particular striking at the head is dreadful. The citing commissioner doesn't...

Hot off the press folks but Cheika has now blamed Retallick for the elbow to his head.

Cheika is a J.O.K.E

8
9
and 10 points in 3 consecutive tests vs the ABs this season.
They are on target to score 11 points in their first match vs the Darkness in 2017.
There is no farking way Crowded House want to be associated with that.

Is Brodie the new McCaw ? Clear and persistent targeting by the Wobblies. Surprised Hooper has been cited for this exchange.

vh5150

Based on thread comments and results of a poll with a sample size close to 100 and over a 2/3rds majority, can we now conclude that the match officials all had good games, let the game flow and were pragmatic with their officiating?

vh5150

Cheika and the Wallabies deserve to get Joubert for their Murryfield test.

vh5150

If Cruden went for the trip ( which isn't evident in that footage) I'm amazed he also did fall on his face given the speed both players were running.

vh5150

If those 2 can be addressed I believe they will go through the Nov. Tour undefeated, though World Rugby will try to prevent that by assigning Ownes, Poite or Joubert to the England game; if England aren't getting the job done, they will take over from there. TBF they can't appoint Barnes, who do yo...

Clear trip by Cruden. Should have been no try.
