Ireland v New Zealand
First topic message reminder :
Right what's done is done regarding Aus. Time to move on and look forward to the ABs. This could be one to watch from behind the couch.
I don't expect any major changes in the team. Murray for Redden being the only obvious change, possibly at tighthead, possibly in the second row. Sexton is doubtful, maybe Earls is available.
My only expectation for this game is for an improved performance as the required level of aggressiveness was just non existent last Saturday. Otherwise we are looking at some hammering.
Without stating the obvious...I would like to see our players try to copy the All Blacks in certain aspects of the game. Namely
1. Passing the ball to another Irish player who is moving forwards and preferably in space
2. When running with the ball try to avoid the opposition players as much as possible instead of seeking out contact.
that is all.

NZ will get back into the game. Ireland would have put 19 points in 15mins past any other team playing like that.Taylorman wrote:We'll revisit this shall we saint. abs will walk it. Saves in.

Now this is a good response to the try from Ireland. This is exactly what they need.

POM has been totally anonymous. We need a massive effort from the pack and he has been an utter passenger so far. He needs to step this up.

One very loose kick aside, Connor Murray has been exceptional.
Cian Healy. Nothing more needs to be said.

Cruden is fantastic. A very clear step-up from Carter at the moment.
ABs going off their feet at every ruck, would be interested to see GE's opinion on that. Healy on McCaw was beautiful. Sit down.

I'm not a fan of our new shirt. It's looks like the players are wearing a hi tech bra cast off from the first Tron film

How fit is this Irish side? Expect a torrent beginning second half. Figures it'd take a kiwi coach to know how to play them.

First penalty to ABs. You better keep attacking Ireland. Go defensive at your peril.

Ireland just need to keep attacking and taking their points, they'll just grow in confidence. But then so will the Kiwis int he second half.

BOD was snubbed by the Lions, yet he may still get to bow out with a swan-song .

Superb play by Chilli there, did well to retain that.
HT 22-7
What a reception for the team. The players will be even more up for it I reckon come the second half.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
It's no coincedence that when teams do actually beat NZ, which very rarely happens, it's because the opposition have shocked them early on with an extreme instensity and built a big lead early on which NZ could not fully recover from. I think Ireland will win this!

Excellent work from Ireland - only one penalty conceded in the first half. They've had most of the possession too.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
Its a question that never gets answered. How do you keep winning when you've won everything? Only the ABs get to be in the position to answer it. Well last 40 of the season the questions been asked again. Can they get up one more time?maestegmafia wrote:Does this show that the Kiwis are there for the taking in their last game of the year???
