Is Narawa injured?

HIA from the npc final. Not sure if he's out just for today or the whole tour.

@kpkanz Execution was good for the try.

The commentators insistence of calling them the All Blacks every 30 seconds is pretty tiresome…

That was beautiful. Great continuity.

Sensational try , that shut the crowd up some great lead up work from Holland shades of Brodi Retallick

Power running and short passing. Loved it.

Discipline has been poor in the last 5 minutes and it’s let Munster back into the game , Du Plessis Kirifi not as prevailent as we have seen in the NPC and now a penalty try and IWL to the bin ..

I don't think the commentators even realise this isn't the All Blacks.

How was that a penalty ?

21-17 to the All Balcks XV with 20 to go. Munster doing much better than I thought they would.

Quinn Tupaea scores. 26-17 to the visitors.

These commentators are comically bias.

cheerleaders
are they the alternative commentatorsequivalent?

Huge turnover from Kirifi.

26-24 to the All Blacks XV. Victory for Munster would be a massive psychological boost for Irish Rugby ahead of Friday night's test match.

Discipline is killing this NZ XV ..be lucky to get out of this

Great tackle Kellow with an assist from Hotham

Beautiful from Hotham

Whoop whoop, lovely from Hotham and Naholo goes in.

That shuts up the crowd.

31-24 to the ABs XV!

33-24, three mins to go.

Plummer gets the conversion 33-24.

Hotham is the real deal.

@sparky step up from Christie especially on the pass

Holland MOTM.

Plummer in.

@ploughboy exactly, Irish commentators are just cheerleaders, and will be even worse next Friday night

38-24 to the ABs XV.

Holland MOTM.

Holland, Kirifi, Tupaea, Lam were all strong. Flanders was very good at 8 before going off as well.

Quinn Tupaea has been outstanding. The big Dutchman was top notch. I'm quite happy with how big Oli Haig went as well. Proper 80 minute tight loosie. Everything he does is safe. Corey Kellow played like a bit of a missile since he came on

@SouthernMann bench did well ..loving the look of Holland

Finishes 38-24 to the All Blacks XV. No Irish vengeance, not tonight anyway.

@SouthernMann Tupaea should be in the main AB team over Havilli

That miss from Flanders before he went off was proper dire shit though.

I will always be a fan of shooter especially his attack and kicking game but to be honest his tackling just ain’t up to this level .

Oh fk I missed that. Maybe why he was replaced?

Thought his carrying was really good for the most part.

Pretty big effort from Kirifi to play the NPC final last Saturday and then back it up with another big game today

I think if Holland is injury free next Super season, he should leap frog all the other All Black locks to partner captain Barrett.

It was good that this match was an arm wrestle as the players will learn more.

I haven't read the comments yet, but the officiating was poor. A couple more Day-mon specials that wiped out the Kirifi try (the Munster hooker kicked the ball in that ruck), and a obvious double movement on the knees in the last Munster try.

Love didn't have the impact he would have hoped for.
