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.

40 minutes from glory - best of luck to the boys. Will be thrilled if Ireland can take this.

Stick your World Cups up your proverbial - a win would be a legacy for an aging Irish golden generation all by itself.

No pressure or owt.

Schitt! If the Kiwis score now, Ireland will have to struggle back. Good take by Toner there though.

The last of the Irish 'golden generation' deserve this accolade for all that they've given to Ireland rugby. That's another reason why I hope Ireland win. Shame that Hayes, Stringer, O'Gara, O'Callaghan and Wallace aren't around to join in.

If you look at it quickly, it looked like a try, and the ball looked like it touched down, but it fell short anyway as well as having a hand underneath.

Nigel Owens really is a fantastic referee - clear, honest, knowledgeable, he takes not crap, and he uses the TMO the way it's supposed to (i.e. he provides guidance to the TMO, rather than simply avoiding all responsibility).

Class act.

Stupid penalty Ireland, but at least Kiwis are taking the points now and not trying for a try.

Agree with Brian Moore.
 
They shouldn't call it "going to the TMO".
 
They should call it "letting Nigel have a drink of water, watch it on the big screen and then make his own mind up".Laugh

Toner has no brain, after the lineout steal he turned his body the wrong way and then he hands them 3 points like that.

AB attack is definitely lacking the leadership of Conrad smith and carter. They're aimless and have had enough runs to do better than this. More leadership required from cruden. Messam on. Thank goodness.
