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.

BOD pished off cause he's "exhibiting signs of concussion" and won't be allowed back on. You have to mind your health, Brian...

Cronin and his cheeky sidestep deserves at least 10 minutes of an international match at centre.Cari wrote:Does Cronin secretly want to be a winger?

Well there you have it....Nigel demonstrating good use of the TMO, and it looks like it's just as well he checked it.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
only thing is, if the ball is low why did he jump? good tactic if under pressure actually.

The ball had bounced twice on the ground before he decides to jump. How is that in the air.? Stupid call.

Anyway, a penalty was given correctly so.
Kiwis could get a try here...

Never mind Taylorman, the Kiwis have got a try so no advantage was gained from it. They should convert this too,

Ireland need some possession and any kind of points! Remember England had to weather a storm and score more tries to beat the ABs last year. Don't stop yet Ireland!

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
will be a good qn to discuss afterwards. i have to say i agree if the ball has bounced, how is the tackler supposed to know the defender is going to jump when it bobbles. tricky one. am sure there is a rule on that one. in not there should be.Taylorman wrote:The ball had bounced twice on the ground before he decides to jump.

Got to start playing here again lads. They look full of fear. Do what you did in the first half and kick some points.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
Savea would have been a good shout for POTY. He's one of the ABs most improved players. Any time NZ have been on the back-foot he's still played exceptionally well. I'm not sure even Ben Smith could claim to have done that.

Ireland were too slow there, and that kick for Tommy was too far, the Kiwis had good opportunity to intercept it.

Can't see NZ not scoring here. Barrett and McCaw have been the difference.
Just as I finish typing, Abs get turned over.

Ireland stuffed and slowing at down. Bad sign. Nine to go. Ireland need to hang on to make history.

Thought that would have been a pen for NZ, rather than a scrum. Player taken out without the ball
