Ireland v New Zealand - 8 November 2024

[IT157]

This talk about New Zealand being a tier below the other top 3 sides is laughable.

 

[AlRums]

Mackenzie take was brilliant

 

[Jimbo]

Fml is berry making the rules up as he goes along, Ireland so lazy constantly getting in the 9s way lying in the ruck, then extended knock on advantage which should end after a kick.

 

[TommiG88]

Ireland looking quite rusty like England did last week. NZ fully deserve their lead

 

[Gavin]

So you can go back and check if the kick touched an Irish hand, but completely ignore the New Zealand player scooping the ball back illegally which caused the turnover, which is shown on a replay.

That looked like head on head

 

[TommiG88]

If this is high, there is very little between this and the hit on Earl last week

The knock back was an Irish knee

That's the last time Barrett will get penalised for foul play in Dublin

 

[Ceteris]

Last week we heard the ref saying not every head contact is foul play.

What's the actual rule world rugby?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

We haven't fired a shot. 2021 Bundee back and Crowley not marshalling the troops. Three down a good return tbh.

 

[AlRums]

Not red though Irishman bent down into it

Fair score so far, marginally generous to Ireland.

Make it up in the day so it would seem.

Hope that's not a red- think there's a little bit of mitigation with the ball carrier slight dip.

Big ten minutes coming up when the 2nd half resumes.

I thought this when I saw the schedule. Ideally you'd want your first hit out to be against a touring tier 2 nation which from memory was the way in the past. Allows to shake any rust off in a lower risk fixture.

I think Ireland are good enough to get back in this regardless. Pen count is high but defending much better than England did last weekend.

I'm amazed Ireland are close, they barely did anything. NZ a whisker away from breaking free numerous times in that half. The issue with this generation of NZ though is that they make mistakes and don't finish off many of their opportunities like they used to

I hope that rust extends to SA on Sunday!

Think it'll be red not enough mitigation and terrible posture driving up.

Report to Leinster training on Monday Jordie.

I thought they were trialling that law where if the opposition doesn't jump then it's play on, but I guess not

Tbh they could have. Nick Berry always seems to have his own interpretations of the laws.
