Watching the ads and WTF schools have VR sets now?

I remember when electronic whiteboards got brought in and you could play games on the school computer that didn’t require cartridges

Damn English and their advanced technologies... I’m typing this thing on an abacus... a bloody ABACUS!

going as I expected, I think Irelands best chance of winning this game was to keep the AB's under 15 points for the full 80
if they are going to win it from here somehow they will be looking to keep the AB's scoreless in the 2nd but can they score 22+ against the AB's defense? I really doubt it.
still, great half, I thought Sam Cane's defense has been amazing some really good carrying from the forwards and we are starting to see some attacking plays that have been under the covers. Looking good

Was really interesting to see how touchy Conrad Smith was about the selection of Goodhue over crotty before the game. All those nerves have gone now Goodhue has been pretty solid

I'm more interested in BT's new logo - it is literally just a white circle.

Never thought I’d be turning off a World Cup knock out game at half time but there it is. See you later

Brawo All Blacks. Trzymać tak dalej.

When both penalties are foul play the last penalty to occur is awarded.

if only one penalty is foul play the foul play penalty is awarded.

if neither is foul play the first penalty is awarded.

Back for one message only. Haven't read a thing. I'll offer any country Peter O'Mahony for a couple match balls, one post pad and a pair of rugby gloves. ONO

Boring awesome All Blacks.....

Ireland have nothing to offer here. If it were boxing, the corner would be readying the towel.

As an Englishman I was at least hoping the Irish could stress New Zealand. No such luck. The bench will be plenty good enough to put the Irish to the sword.

What’s happened to Irish physicality? They are being bullied from 1-15....

Since England bullied them in the opening game of the 6 Nations, Ireland seem to have lost their physicality completely.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Tackling someone without the ball is a technical penalty?

I don’t know the terminology but it’s not foul play is it?

 

[Rinkadink]

I don’t know the terminology but it’s not foul play is it?

I believe it is foul play.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I don’t know the terminology but it’s not foul play is it?

It’s obstruction which falls under foul play. It also falls under dangerous play which is also foul play.

They're sitting ducks. NZ lining up to smash them as it's so obvious where the ball is going.

How about for Robert Howley?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Surely Ireland can’t play any worse than the 1st half.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Looks like I’m well out my depth in terms of law knowledge so I’ll change my original answer to “I don’t know”

 

[Kapa O Pango]

Sevu Reece looks really good plus for me

 

[RugbyTackle91]

I think Japan may have run the All Blacks closer.. anyway let's see if Ireland can do something this half

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Cane replaced by scotty B. Thought Cane had a great 1st half. Must have been pre planned.

 

[OwenPB]

Nothing embarrassing about losing to the ABs, but one of them has a mullet, for god's sake!!

Have a bit of shame lads & raise your game!!

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

I’m here all week.

Unlike Ireland.
