Yeah. This
Looks to be out of their reach now. Going from nearly getting in in the corner to being shredded a minute later.
These are the baby all blacks, it's what they do, I'm just happy to see some of the younger players coming through and that coombes actually played his game today
@T00lsh3d Another Danny Care book extract, with Stuart Lancaster in the firing line this time: https://archive.md/4oaAt
not surprising. i remember being at twickenham for that australia game and i don’t think i’ve ever been as pissed off watching my team play, not withstanding current united.
Hogg - what an absolute cretin.
Borthwick is the rugby equivalent of Southgate
Cheers for that - missed the tag for some reason.
Can’t say I’m surprised, we all knew it was a bag of shit on the pitch….stands to reason it was in camp as well
Yes! That’s exactly it. Very underwhelming.
Last week, I picked England to beat New Zealand by 9. I was nearly right about England winning but would have been wrong about the margin. I will double down and pick Ireland to beat New Zealand by 10 this time.
I lost £100 on Ireland the last time they played
On my way to the Aviva. Buzzing for this one.
Happy days. Hope it’s a tryfest
looking forward to this. Don’t care who wins as long as we have a Mark Telea and a James Lowe try
Ireland defending well but NZ are looking very strong. They've brought alot of physicality
Doris needs to start speaking to the ref, far to quite, the line out gap is a joke
I can hear @Pogue Mahone raging in the stands
This generation are far to quite for my liking, they should be learning from POM and how sexton used to always be in there ear like they did from o Connell and o Driscoll
It's been hilarious. Cmon ref.
You wouldn’t have thought Owen Farrell’s dad would have stood for a quiet captain
That was cool from D Mac
I genuinely don’t know what they see in Henderson, 1st he’s past his best, his position should be for a younger player, 2nd he always looks like he’s just off a session, 3rd he’s average at best.
Kinda amazing how Ireland are even still in this. Ridiculous penalties all over the place and can’t string three phases together without dropping the ball.
Well it’s over now.
Brilliant from the ABs tbf
The subs have been shite
Ireland have just been really poor.
The starters weren't good but the subs have been absolutely terrible. Frawley, who I like, and Henderson have just made error after error.
It's been incredible how many Irish players are all thumbs tonight. Ludicrous number of knock-ons
Hard watch.
Filthy scrappy game. Usual flat and quiet Aviva crowd.

Outrageous kick from Lowe, Ireland actually have a chance just from that
We are definitely a team in decline. Think we had our chance to potentially win a world cup with this squad of players but it's over now. NZ have played really well tonight and still a force to be reckoned with
He really does
the last WC was obviously a massive opportunity but I don’t think this team is necessarily finished yet. The next 6 nations will be telling though, I don’t know that you’re better than France now and England are a lot closer than they have been in years
England pushed them harder
Seriously though he shouldn’t be near the squad, ye have a few players, we have a few players and ulster have a few players in that position that should be in the squad, I didn’t mention Leinster because they are pretty much there.
England gave NZ a harder game. Granted it's the first game of the series but worrying signs from an Irish point of view tonight
Frawley had a bit of a mare when coming on. Credit to NZ not outstanding but ground it out. Irelands first home loss in over 3 years.
Not even an entertaining defeat.
