Good to see the Irish fans still giving rory a standing ovation with the post match interview

I didn't expect that.

Hard luck Irish. Just wasn't your day, but your still an excelelnt team. Maybe is Carbury's [sp] time now.

Bizarre PT and yellow for Todd. I think Nige was in freebee mode, or something?

What a cunt of a comment.
Don't pick any woman beaters if you don't want the comments then.

had a feeling you’d be one of the ones to take it badly

That was a lovely touch from Joe walking his way down.

He deliberately obstructed the base of the goalpost to prevent the Irishman from touching the ball against that aforesaid base.

I saw it in real time and had a chuckle.
He did. It was quite cynical. But he didn’t break any of the rules in doing so, it was completely within the laws. One of the few wrong decisions of Owens career.

Off his feet, out of the game? (I don't know enough about the laws though; farked if I know)

Not even a penalty really bizarre.

Very cunning of Hansen to lull Ireland into a false sense of security by losing to them twice

4 more years boys.

Heaslip was saying he wouldn't have any Allblack over an Irish player before the game.

Irish media are a bunch of cheerleaders.

Broken. Bloodied and Beaten

We were concerned for him, he was off form and obviously so, but I don't think anyone called for him to be dropped.

He's been bloody good this trip, though, aye!

That was what anyone who knows anything about rugby was expecting tbh.
Too predictable and too easy.

No arms tackle, unsportsmanlike play.

Nice words from Read and Shag

Respect shown to Ireland

de_Selby · Post by **de_Selby** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:25 pm

Well done NZ. So clinical, I don't think we were actually playing badly to start off with, but any minor mistake was punished.
After that point we crumbled though.

The match against England is the final IMO

I'll hold my hand up in admitting I haven't actually read the rulebook, but isn't "being on the way" the fundamental base of defense?

first Cadbury kicks the ball away agaisnt Japan in the final minutes, now he tries to convert a 'penalty' try....not very smart ..is he? ...i'm shocked he is a kiwi...

He was preventing the ball being grounded, you can use any body part. Base of the post is considered in goal.

I agree, it's not so much that the Irish were so bad, it's just that our boys were on fire tonight.

If you're going to lose to a team do it a year before the World cup quarter finals

Don’t agree, you were very good but we were very poor. Way too many unforced errors.
Congrats again.

The YC for Todd was an absolute homer for Ireland. Todd was onside and since when has falling down and defending your line been a YC?

Terrible call from Owens that’s Stains an otherwise good game
