New Zealand v Ireland - Test 3 - 16 July 2022

[Ragey Erasmus]

POM is a big softy really

 

[Jer1cho]

This is huge. There is no gap between hemispheres. Any team in top 9 can beat the rest on their day. Foster gonna get sacked after this.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

National holiday for Ireland on Monday?

Don't be silly... Argentina and Scotland aren't beating these other teams.

Has to be sacked really.

Only Robertson around though
Unless they pinch Joseph who imo would be perfect for them but I would be heartbroken for Japan

Ireland and peaking one year from the World Cup right on schedule

We haven't even begun to peak etc etc.

Who cares bigger achievement than a QF win anyway.

POM is a big softy really

No whinging from him today.

 

[Jimbo]

Can't argue with the Irish as winners incredible effort, the difference between now an under Smidt is this side can make mistakes against teams like the ABs and win they don't need absolute 110% errorless play like they previously did…

 

[GoTheNaki]

I reckon Ireland win 3-0. No joke. There is literally no reason why they shouldn't be looking to do that to the All Blacks right now. The ABs don't have an identity, they don't know who their starting 10 is, or their centres, raw talent will not save us here. We are going to be unprepared for the system and game Ireland bring like they always are.

Yeah cool. The one game we win was coached by Schmidt. Wonder what happens next...

Congratulations to Ireland... But any AB supporter who thought we'd win the series has honestly had rose-tinted glasses for the last 7 years.

 

[Groundhog]

Would I take a Munster URC ***le over this? Yes of course. Is this still a great day? Kinda

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Scott Robertson is surely the next coach post-world cup

 

[Eleutherarch]

Plans afoot to replace the Spire with a similar-sized statue of Beirne?

Foster's gotta be done and rightly so. Feel bad for Sam Cane though.

 

[Which Tyler]

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great game

 

[Grizwald]

Well done Ireland. That was huge.

 

[Bluemoon]

Fair play Ireland, this is a fantastic win. Very well deserved, incredible first half. Breakdown work is scary good.

This is classic Ireland peaking early mind. Out in the RWC QF

4 Quarter finals = final right?

Or Schmidt? No mistake they won the first test after Foster was laid low with Covid and Joel took on coaching duties.

This is a big step forward for Ireland first series win in New Zealand. Lets see if Wales can outshine Ireland today and claim an even more improbable win in South Africa
