New Zealand v Ireland - Test 3 - 16 July 2022

[Leonormous Boozer]

This is unbelievable.

 

[GoTheNaki]

yep

 

[Groundhog]

The lesser known double pullback. I did not expect this at all. Still a lot of rugby to be played but that's the best half of rugby I've seen us play ever I think.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Look at those lines. My god.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

This NZ team feel soooo far from the 2015-era AB's

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Lovely try.

 

[Bluemoon]

Ireland's attacking shape has been fantastic in this game and their forwards are totally bossing.

But that was shocking defence from NZ for that third try. Never seen a NZ team look this poor

 

[unrated]

NZ is playing too aggressively at the moment and Ireland is taking good advantage of it by winning unprotected ball.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

the poor handling errors just keep coming from NZ.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Phew. Get this off the pitch.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I can see the ABs getting booed in this game. Foster has to go. Fiji, Japan, Australia and Italy have better NZ coaches than this chump. Is he even a top 10 NZ coach? World ranking of 5 for NZ a real possibility in 3hrs time.

Nice job by Ireland. Stick with 15 men and this series is over. Let's me get away from the TV and get outside to enjoy some summer.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ireland were 4.00 before kick off, mad

When? Like 6 mins back?

Probably, I'm watching through the sky now app on my TV and it seems to be about a minute behind, annoyingly

 

[Jimbo]

Didn't see this scoreline, Ireland pretty dominant and all blacks just seem to play into their hands.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

What's with that weird half time dragon thing?

 

[unrated]

New Zealand always come back in the second half and they are at home and you can imagine Foster will be having a speech for his job in the dressiny room now. Might be too much for the All Blacks to pull back but don't write them off yet, they can rack up a big score very fast.

Ireland to their credit is being masterful at the breakdown. Special mention to their defence.

Just can't see how a Foster speech can turn this around. Ireland far too solid and NZ so flat, and just not getting any go forward ball in Ireland's 22. This has been coming a long time for ABs from losses to Argentina, and last year.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I'll wait before thinking we've won this. 2013 cut deep.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

This isn't that AB team of 2013-2015, which really was the best international team I have seen.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

I'll wait before thinking we've won this. 2013 cut deep.

Was just thinking of that 2013 game as well; tough, tough loss

Well done to Great first 40 Ireland.
Should see it out with same game plan
ABs look well off pace.
Big turn around needed to get even a sniff.
