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.

Ruben Love has lovely footwork

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

sparky

Great work by Reuban Love in the build up there.

Jailbreak7

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.

Stargazer

Nankivel on for RTS.

chimoaus

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

Crazy Horse

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

chimoaus

Ireland fucked that up.

sparky

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

Tim

Can see Love making the AB squad in 2024.

Jailbreak7

Love has had a stormer

Stargazer

Roigard and Ioane on for Perenara and Love.
