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.

WELL DONE NEW ZEALAND. Down for most of the game but never out of it. Given a sniff with just 30 seconds to go and they take it. That's why ABs are the best in the world. Unbeaten season.
Commiserations Ireland, you can take a lot of the performance even if it was not the result you wanted.

Sexton will have nightmares about this, had Madigan been on earlier Ireland would have won.

Robbed. I mean really, truly robbed. Gutted for Ireland but I genuinely think this AB team is not going to win the next WC. They have an incredible ability to dig out results, but they're getting taken closer and closer by more and more teams.

Cruden shouldn't have got a second kick. If the first one had gone in Owens would have counted it, he should have blown the whistle previous to the kick and stopped Cruden, or counted the miss.

Instead of the gamesmanship time wasting Sexton should have followed his usual routine for his pretty straightforward kick - that would have killed the game then. This game shows why NZ rules the roost, simple as.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
The Kiwis were played off the field there, but were lucky that Sexton missed the penalty and that Cruden was given a second chance to kick. Like the rugby league yesterday, it was luck that gave them a winning opportunity with little or no time left.Taylorman wrote:Is this the greatest side or what. Come on cruden.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
They did't deserve to lose that, but they can take some pride in that performance, no other team has pushed them that close all year. Thet was the hardest game they played, and should have lost, but thet is why this all blacks team are probably the greatest in history. Epic, epic game. I feel absolutely gutted for Ireland, they gave their all!

Hard luck Ireland. Not scoring in the few rare visits to the NZ half in the second half cost you. Needed just one more kick
Great disciple from NZ not to give Ireland more kicks at goal. What burning desire from NZ at the end. great game to watch

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
You have to feel sory for Ireland, so close to making history and yet they may as well have been a thousand mile away.
Well played NZ for making the come back that they did..Should Cruden have had that second kick at goal?
Surely Ireland will take a lot out of this game into the 6ns.

Only saw the last 20 minutes, but I'm absolutely gutted for Ireland. Eerily similar to the RL yesterday.
Well done New Zealand - that's why they're champions, an unconquerable spirit.

what an epic match. well played ireland and NZ. that will hurt for a few days, maybe weeks, but after that they should take pride in the quality and ferocity of their play and really believe in themselves.

Re: Ireland v New Zealand
My commisserations to Ireland, it was truly a game of inches.
That last penalty at the breakdown, the kick Sexton missed.
You can be very proud of your team, they lost badly to Australia and picked themselves up for this one.
It is heartbreaking to lose like this.
Congratulations to the All Blacks, your lerfect season nearly came undone, but you did it. A mark of a champion team.
