Looking like we are going to get smashed. NZ every time in the 22 score. Ireland everytime in the 22 make a stupid mistake. Might go back to bed as we just throw an intervept

Refs bottled giving a red defo away to bed

Ireland off the pace, scoreboard being kept respectable.

Always frustrating to watch games in NZ. Marginals constantly going their way. And I don't think the yellow was marginal. The decision pushed the boundaries of what can be considered mitigation to the absolute limit.

They never lost in Eden park since 1994 to France.

Didnt watch the second half but guessing NZ didn't need to get out of second gear. Reading the report they could have stolen 2 bonus points near the end but ofcourse didn't. The first half was the worst I have seen them play in the Farrel era. I mean they have been together now for a month and yet the number of mistakes was unreal as if they had been thrown together 5 mins before kick off. All the worry was scrum and lineout. They played so badly none of that was even remotely a factor.

Only watching bits here, the ref didnt yellow card here for a delibrate knock on with 2 men outside him.was actually trying give him nothing, to they reviewed it.

I think all of the tries today, for both teams, were scored from very close range.


No exciting on the wing tries unfortunately.


Power over skill.

All getting a bit feisty in the evening game.
