The IRISH RUGBY thread

Ireland rugby are like Clonoe.  They thought they had the whole thing won.

Another try for Ireland just before half time. Ireland 17 New Zealand 18. All to play for 2nd half.

Four tries all scored by New Zealanders.

Some game tbf

[clarshack]

Only 1 point in it at half time would have taken that at 13-0.

Feck this, can't watch.

Great game for a neutral. NZ have done their homework and possess natural skill that makes them a threat whenever they have possession in our half. Plus unlike SA, will punish penalties.

Cracking game, Ireland slow to start but in the game, Ireland can only improve but New Zealand can score at any visit

[Itchy]

Four tries all scored by New Zealanders.

I wonder could we swap few Irish lads for few new Zealand lads for 2nd half

Ireland scoring at most visits too, Sexton should went for 3 at the very first penalty at 6:0,Line out is not going well, Ref allowing NZ to close the gap to much on the throw. After asking for a 2m spacing the first couple of throws, Ryan better in the air than Henderson.

This game couldn't be good for the nerves, pucked my ringer out there.Not even a drink taken.

[Capt Pat]

I think we may have inflicted a key psychological blow on New Zealand coming back from 13-0 down and scoring before half time. Time will tell if it is enough

[Wildweasel74]

Ireland very nervy first 20mins, more mistakes there than normally in a whole game, Line out nerds to buck up 2nd Half.

[Blowitupref]

Try for New Zealand, that was them at their best.   25-17 they are in front now.

[Wildweasel74]

Losing the game at the breakdown, how come the ref ensured no seperation for the NZ line out but not previous
