Tour to NZ 2022

[Keith]

Nice to see NZ finally pinged for pushing early in the scrum. But then they get a try anyway

[OTT]

Penalty try

[OTT]

Finished as a seatbelt tackle, is that not a penalty anymore?

[desperado]

No luck

[OTT]

Boom

[OTT]

Feck sake

[cormac]

oh ffs

[cormac]

well this has been a frustrating watch

[wixfjord]

Dickson is taking the f%~king piss now.

On the plus side, we’re causing them problems and if we can tighten up lineout with a decent ref we’ll be far closer.

That first Reece try was a killer.

[Atlas]

A quartet of the game left and we aren't going to get back into it so I'd like to see the bench used now.

No point bring them on with 4/5 mins left

[Dave Cahill]

I can't believe that the 7th best lineout in the URC is struggling against the New Zealand All Blacks. Who could have predicted that.

[Cheeses of Nazareth]

Sheehan will have to come back on. Heffernan shouldn’t be back.

[OTT]

Jaysus

[Leinsterimp]

That was an embarrassing attempt by Carbery

[Dave Cahill]

That was an embarrassing attempt by Carbery

Yeah, that was the embarrasing part alright.

[OTT]

That should be a yellow for taking out Murray.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

That was an embarrassing attempt by Carbery

I can’t think of a worse bit of a player from an Ireland player in the 25 years I’ve been watching. Totally unacceptable and should mean he’s out of the test squad for the next two weeks. I’m stunned by that tbh.

[munster#1]

Now that was a real eye opener.
Some of our leader failed to show up, and some of our better players were well below par.

This heroic display is reminiscent of Ireland in the 80s and 90s, and is far from the level that Ireland should accept.

Scrum, Lineout, Breakdown all rubbish, as was our defence.
You can’t beat a top team with so many deficiencies.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

So was Healy actually healthy enough to play? What was the point in flogging Porter in a hammering?

I can’t remember a game where we started so well and fell apart so quickly. That ten minutes before half time was appalling, so many sloppy errors and stupid decisions. We need to learn that there are times when we need a breather and that kicking the ball off the field is the best thing to do. JGP ran the ball a couple of times when it really wasn’t on and we just started drowning.

If you look at Beirne for the try that Barrett chipped through the guy was, understandably, bolloxed already. Lots of other players walking around in open play at times but we just made it worse on ourselves. The difference in our tackling after that first 25 minutes or so was stark.

[OTT]

I thought we left a try or two behind( we were literally over the line) and they got a lucky try or two. They got their other ones far to easy but if people are going to talk about us being humiliated they were watching a different game to me. Beaten by the better side and got punished on the scoreboard by a better side, welcome to New Zealand.
