Dunno if Wales can hold on but am enjoying seeing Kolisi, Faf and co getting rattled.

Wales were +19 before the game. Very glad I took it and already cashed it out for almost the full amount. On come the bomb squad now to turn it upside down
New Zealand will be top of World Rugby's rankings if Wales win.

?You would have bet your house on Biggar slotting the conversion.
Bokke!!!!
Kieran Read alluded to this during Kiwi pre game show. He said the All Blacks would study two matches: the Champions Cup final and the URC semi final which Leinster lost to La Rochelle and the Bulls respectively, no mention at all Munster, Ulster or Connacht games, just Leinster.
That's the problem we have backed ourselves into with the Leinster centric approach.
Also how the hell did Johnny hill escape being cited, he targeted the head of swain at least twice.
i think he worked out that Swain could be rattled/wound up. Job done. Morally questionable. See it all the time in football, just sad to start seeing it in rugby. Aside from that, time for Eddie Jones to go
The hard push in the face should of warranted a red or at least a yellow what was the ref thinking
I say after the shit hill pulled in the game, swain regrets not catching him in the nose with the head but
Surely the the All Blacks have somebody more fearsome to lead the haka than Aaron Smith.
New Zealand have won 41 of their 46 games in Dunedin. However 3 of those 5 losses came this century. They're immaculate at this particular stadium though.
Just like last week, a great start for Ireland. New Zealand were surely in trouble for 3 infringements in their own 22.
Wonder will we see the ref properly ping NZ for going way beyond the ruck. I think he just has right now.
Reckon he was trying to sneakily take out Hanson there.
Ireland should have got a penalty try for that. Jaco Peyper bottled that.
Hmmmm could have been a penalty try there.
Yeahhh I don't think they'd have stopped him.
Could be a red here now.
Totally deserved red card.
On the whole NZ have been very ill-disciplined. They arguably were last week too but didn't get pinged as much.
Hmmm NZ are still on the edge of getting more cards too!
Ireland will never get a better chance to win in New Zealand.
World Rugby's heart is in the right place but I'm still not sold on players being sent off for head clash.

The issue there was he never dipped. He had time to set for a proper tackle and didn't make any effort to. We lose Ringrose now from the game too as a result.
I really wish Ireland had taken a few more chances. Great opportunity and all but we haven't converted chances enough.
Ireland down to 14 and it was an obvious yellow.
Fecking hell. Made a mess of so many great situations. Ireland started off playing brilliantly but have been pretty shit for most of that half.
I think Ireland will be extremely disappointed with that half.
They're blowing a great chance.
They're blowing a great chance.
That try will change both half time talks.
Side note. NZ should have had two red cards and that was a definite penalty try.
Yeah I think the Hanson one could have been red too.
So messy now.
Simple in the end.
Get the feck in! Much much better rugby.
Great try. Really good break and a great finish by Porter.
