I thought they were a debt free club. The average premier league side gets about that much every year in tv money. I thought the club would have been worth more?

I said it before the game but Keith Earls is Ireland best playmaking running back at the minute and should start for Ireland. O'Driscoll while still easily worth his place on the team doesn't perform that role as well as he used to. I would drop Darcy and move O'Driscoll to inside centre. I would make that move because I think outside centre is the best place to put your best attacking creative back to maximise their potential. Also moving O'Driscoll inside closer to the action would also be of benefit to his talents.

That is right Indianan, an average, average performance from Ireland which was an improvement on the mediocre displays of the last 2 weeks. The All Blacks of yesterday are very good but just about beatable if we had played our best game and Dan Carter had missed a couple of kicks.

Even Brendan O'Connor on his show was buying into it being a good performance and how well the team had played and how good it made everyone feel??? What is he on.

Graham Henry, New Zealands answer to Eddie O'Sullivan.

A good coach not a great coach with great players.

Carters kicking is killing us. Any other kicke would have missed at least a couple. He is seven out of seven. Heaslip should have passed to Earls on the breakaway.

Now its 31 16 to the all blacks. At least Ireland tried but I am disappointed with this collapse.

Boric try for NZ,

13-19

The ref is fuming and immediately awards New Zealand a penalty.

13-12

......but the touch judge is cheering for Ireland and Ferris scores from a forward pass.
Ireland-13-9 all blacks

Time for another penalty for New Zealand says the ref.

Good goal kicking from Sexton, 6-6

New zealand are handed 3 points by the ref. They lead 6-3

Into the wild is on tonight on channel 4.

The new Harry Potter movie is quite good. Nearly 2 and a half hours long, it is good entertainment.

7.5 out of 10.

7,000 tickets unsold as of tonight, walks ups tomorrow can only get in if they buy a ticket to the following weeks fixture against Argentina. when it comes to incompetence you have to hand it out, our IRFU blazers would give the government and the financial regulator a good run for it. Hope the christ less than 20k turn up at the Argentina match, that's what it seems to take to get through to the skulls of this lot.

That is hard to beleive but it is probabl true. How much are the combined tickets?

It is not for the IRFU to worry about the price of tickets when the stadium is already paid for, still it will help keep the riff raff out. No need to worry about the 30,000 fans who got into Croker that would be disappointed at not getting a ticket for the new landsdowne, even less reason to worry about the 37,000 who can't afford the ticket price.
