Get on with it ffs. Nothing wrong with that.

Tim

Has the TMO questioned any Irish play?

sparky

Nothing wrong with that.

Stargazer

So Gallagher on for Dickson; Williams on for Mafileo. Any more changes?

Crazy Horse

Someone mentioned it earlier, but since I have been watching since half time Gardiner has looked handy.

Canes4life

Game over. Let’s role the subs.

chimoaus

Why does this sides structure on D and attack look so different to Foster's side?

Tim

Nice line from Lam and pass from Gardiner.

Comments guy squealing like a pig suggesting a YC , but quiet as a mouse when the ball went out and the AR does nothing

sparky

Irish crowd silent now. Sweet sound.

@Steven-Harris said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

Good officiating

The commentator calling for a yellow card by that innocuous tackle from Love is so hilarious. And the crowd baying for blood as well. The entire country is populated by fairies and we lost a test series to them. Gutting.

Crucial

Beautiful distribution by DMac. That’s what I want to see RM doing more.

that little delayed pass beats the rush defence often - uses momentum against the defender

Never heard of that ruling before. He's making it up now.

The strength in the tackle of both Stephenson and Lam is impressive
Lam has come a long way in a year

chimoaus

Wtf was wrong with that. Did he say you can't turn the tackled player?

Stargazer

I don't understand the game anymore.

@chimoaus you know its wrong even when the one eye comments guy calls it

Stargazer

Great defence from NZ, esp Gardiner there.

chimoaus

Rugby needs to simplify the rules, if it has a marginal impact on game just let it fucken go.

Canes4life

Penalty after penalty with this ref.

sparky

Jesus, how many dodgy penalties in a row did the ref award the Irish there?

@chimoaus totally agree, even players who have made the tackle and have got no chance of moving

booboo

Hey peeps

Just found this link. No vpn thinfame it seems.

Stargazer

Show me the grounding! I don't trust this ref.

chimoaus

Is there a reason we seem to always be on the receiving end of the penalty count? Are we cheating bastards or do we not know the rules.

what annoys me is the consistency. IF hands on the ground in front of the line is a penalty every week, every ref, every time, happy days ... but it's just not. Random refereeing so often.

Crucial

That was lucky. We should have just let them score as Jacobsen was about to get a second yellow/red

Stargazer

@booboo Haha, did it arrive by snail? Was already posted.
