Ireland v New Zealand - 8 November 2024

[AlRums]

Vdf constantly coming in from the side, and getting away with it.

Instead of keeping Bealham on, Ireland could have moved Porter to tighthead (where he used to play) and brought Healy on at loosehead.

Healy played a bit of tighthead too

 

[BrokenWing]

O'Mahony has literally walked on the field and his face is bleeding.

 

[AlRums]

Worrying display this by Ireland. NZ have been far from vintage, quite ordinary in places, but apart from the first 5min. of the second half it's been such a one sided game. NZ just haven't taken full advantage on the scoreboard.

Irish set piece has been shite.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

NZ have been closing the lineout all game and the ref has done nothing about it.

 

[AlRums]

Not a very good clearance

I'd say Mackenzie

Up to Ireland protest and never have.

James Lowe?

New Zealand win. What a surprise!

 

[BrokenWing]

Imagine not being able to score more than 20 against New Zealand.

 

[Grizwald]

Commiserations Celtic cousins. Better team won tonight. NZ weren't outstanding. Ireland dropped off massively after scoring jsut after HT.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Pretty poor game, but a fair result.

Ire as bad as we've seen in ages. Bad night or bit of an end of an era?

 

[Saintjay]

Makes me feel better about the England result.

Bit disappointing you had no Sexton loop or Bryan Habana advert noticing his opponent is slow in the turn.

 

[AlRums]

Fully deserved for the ABs, Ireland were terrible.

Expensive for Ireland in world rankings now down to third.

 

[Reiser99]

Felt NZ were a little better than last week, especially with the lineout and penalties. Fully deserved the win.

Ireland looked very rusty and for me were lucky not to be penalised more. Constantly not rolling away and coming in at the side for rucks. Berry let them get away with quite a bit. Subs really brought Ireland down a notch, which is the same issue and England last week.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

How can Ireland be rusty when most of them play together for Leinster?

 

[Scotty]

Have NZ got a try? They have just done what we did to them last week, had better discipline and kept the scoreboard ticking.

No amazing attacks by NZ, no great individual brilliances like first 2 tries(great tries) last week.

Ireland looked average today tbh, was looking at that Ireland team pregame thinking how strong it looked but didn't really live up.
