I hope New Zealand get stuffed, because...

I don't like Steve Hansen. There I said it!

Come on Potato men!!!!!

I just want my SH buddies to win.

I'm not sure all the SH nations back each other up...

Well, it is their perogavite, me, I am but a staunch SH rugby supporter.

There I said it, I support our hemisphere.

I want the domination to continue for as long as it is possible.

Well the last time Steve Hansen took charge of a team they regularly got humped... So you never know, he might be jinxed...

Is this the fall of the Mighty All Blacks...???


Most likely not, I am sure the legend and the record will continue...!

O dear the "Ireland Ireland" anthem sounds like something from a cheezy funeral directors commercial or something...

It's the Kiwi Bieber!

Every country has one.

...they always make a hash of the visitor's anthem

Slit throat or non slit throat?

Least passionate Haka ever from Owen Franks.

Oooo Pontyberem is reffing.

They only give that to South Africa, France or England..

I dont think that NW will get stuffed by Ireland at all.

If you notice when ever any NH team gets the ball against New Zealand, they always seem to go side ways and not make any head way.

Yet when New Zealand get the ball, they always go forward and SPACE seems to open up, and New Zeland often than not, do, seem, to score trys.

That's what you get when you have a team of 15 backs! Playing a side with 15 backs is always a big ask. It's the one lesson All Blacks keep writing up on the Blackboard and the one most NH sides always manage not to listen to or care about until they're hit by the sledgehammer yet again.

Shhh, it has been like 100 years and they still haven't caught onto that simple point. Next you'll be telling them what little safa kids are taught (go stand offside in the middle of their backline )
First thing we get taught as kids is receive the ball at full sprint and run straight dam it.

You learn that as the key to the game then it is a comedy with UK players recieving the ball while flat footed and trying to break the line running sideways; because thats really going get you over the advantage line.

The Irish anthem set up the Irish performance. It was like O'Reilley from Fawlty Towers singing. He was so out of tune I thought those headphones were playing something else.

I think Ireland did themselves no favours by letting ABs score too easily and take the pressure off them. You have to starve them of points and then mistakes will come. Apply pressure through possession and territory. Kicking was largely aimless from Ireland and soft penalties to allow NZ to settle.

Kiakah - Do you still think Ireland have a psychological barrier?

Looked like they believed plenty but are hampered by a serious lack of talent!

Yes. Australia show this today also. They repeatedly had player run the loop back into mid field at pace and then used as a switch by Genia. It happen 6,7,8,9,10 times and end up in the tries. Wales never seem to notice it. I was disbelieve to seeing. Make fast ball from slow ball and change the attcking angle. Wales with the ball kept going wide to the side then wide the other way until they lose the ball or go to throw in.

Give us back our 6 counties then so we can play a real national anthem!
