Absolutely abysmal.

Yes the first yellow should have been red. Yes it should have been a penalty try. But even accounting for that we should still be out of sight. Inability to convert man advantage and territorial dominance is shocking.

An abysmal historic 11 point win by Ireland over NZ in NZ.

Congratulations on your post an hour and fifteen minutes after halftime

Heads must roll.

Take the win for sure, and acknowledge the historical significance of it briefly, but don't let anyone kid you that that was a good performance. NZ were absolutely brutal and yet again we struggled with numerical superiority. A few good performances for sure, but we should have beaten them by 30.

We should have won by 30 some butchered chances but I will take that result all day long. Since beating the all blacks in Chicago there is no longer a fear factor and 4 wins from 7 is some return and we would have won another couple before Chicago if it wasn't for Nigel Owens

Wowser

As good as Ireland have been, for the last 20 mins especially,  NZ have been shambolic. 22-3 at ht.

[Helix.]

As bad an All Blacks first half performance in a long time. So many handling errors. Hopefully Ireland hold on in 2nd half. Taking their chances so far

2 tries for NZ. 17-22
This is senior hurling.

Very poor second half so far when we needed to just slow things downl
