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.

@Steven-Harris Irish commentators are by far the worst.

Chips either look brilliant or pants. No harm done.

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.

@akan004 that was a shocker!

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

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

I don't understand the game anymore.

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

Great defence from NZ, esp Gardiner there.

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

Penalty after penalty with this ref.

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

Hey peeps

Just found this link. No vpn thinfame it seems.

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

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.

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

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

Brewis on for Ross.

Ruben Love has lovely footwork

Said you can’t jackal if you have flipped the player to your side

Great work by Reuban Love in the build up there.

Lovely by Love

That should be rewarded for strength by the tackler.

@sparky and RTS.

Some really nice work by the good guys, despite the hometown ref . Strength in the tackle and intensity in the carry to break the defensive line is light years ahead of ireland.

RTS off. Nankivell on.

Nankivel on for RTS.

What sort of face do you think DMac makes when he has an orgasm?

Did I hear right? Nankivel has played for the ABs? If so I completely forgot.

@Crazy-Horse Māori ABs.

Ireland fucked that up.

@chimoaus said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

Ireland fucked that up.

Love had him covered anyway.

Tonight shows how much the Irish first XV are helped by having some Kiwi Exiles in their side.

Can see Love making the AB squad in 2024.

Love has had a stormer
