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

@chimoaus said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

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

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

I will never know, and not sure I do! Lol

Roigard and Ioane on for Perenara and Love.

MMT also, love his size and bulk. Has he played much 6?

A lot of players have enhanced their reputation but are unlikely to break into the top side unless there are injuries

Looking at the current AB 23, I think it would look a lot better if it had McKenzie and Tuipulotu on the bench (for Vaa’i and Havili)

@chimoaus Plays no. 8 for Highlanders and 6 for Hawke's Bay (all season).

@Tim said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

Absolutely.

Pass looked okay.

Thompson on for McAlister.

His workrate was exceptional, good to see him take his chance.

Can we ditch the small kicks when hot on attack.

How was that forward?

Pass was fine.

@chimoaus Yes please. My chips are only with fish.

Geez, this ref is in love with the sound of his whistle and his own voice.

What a terrible crowd. Sounds like a bunch of parents at a school game.

@Jailbreak7 said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

@chimoaus Yes please. My chips are only with fish.

Not bread? Come on.

That was the easiest try ever. No defence present.

Fuck they making it look easy. Where is the space coming from.

@chimoaus agh if I must. Draw the line at mushy peas though.

@chimoaus said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

Even if you don’t regather you are reminding the defence of the danger of rushing and that pays off another time. It’s all part of breaking down the d structure
