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:

Can we ditch the small kicks when hot on attack.

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

Nice to get a wee bit of revenge against the Irish but a lot more is to come.

Tell Sexton and Farrell that the South remembers.

@sparky Cher bro!!

Good catch from Lio-Willie. Hadn't noticed him coming on.

Did they take MMT off?

That Irish player played ball on ground.

surely in touch?

@chimoaus said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

'not held' apparently.

I have no idea any more

Wasn't the Irish player in touch?

Damian gets his big chance to see if he's got it as a 10

Verdict?

Looked pretty good to me (with a fairly easy ride)

he's played very well there for a while - reined in his optimisim and played some really good games. Solid bench option for me

Terrible and biased officiating.

Last several minutes , have been poor looks like we have buttoned off

@Steven-Harris Bench "impact"

Yep lots of distance, kicked goals, distributed well.

No review of the player who was in touch?

Hilarious. TMO gives an instant decision and commands the ref.
If that was an AB try we’d still be looking at angles
One replay and “inconclusive “

@sparky They did. Apparently it wasn't clear and obvious. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@sparky said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

They did it was marginal, could have gone either way but I'm happy with the call, it was a nice buildup.

Fucken nothing wrong with that.

@chimoaus said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

it's just a tackl right?

Shut the Bleep up commentator ..nothing in it

He lowered his height, shoulder contact. It's the Irish players own whiplash.

He's a sanctimonious arse.

it's a fucken tackle

This commentator is a twit. Hard hit from Patty, that’s it.

I’m not sure if the head contact was from the tackle or the head jolting forward.

Fark ireland must be made of glass.

Where do I sign the petition to change the held up rule.

All over.

Ireland have moved into the spot of hatiest team easily. Not from their improved standing but by being whiny mouthy fluffybunnies.

Full time: Ireland 'A' 19 - 47 All Blacks XV

Crowley stayed down for a decent amount of time following an alleged head knock. Surely that should have been an HIA or Ireland were faking the injury.

Very impressive performance considering time together. Credit to the players and coaching staff, appeared to have a good structure and players doing core roles well.

Wish we had done this last year against Ireland AA side

@Stargazer said in All Blacks XV vs Ireland A:

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

Wasn't sure if it was or not. Hadn't been reading the thread. Stumbled across a tweet by @Davesofthunder and thought it'd be remiss of me not to at least mention it in case it hadn't.
