New Zealand v Ireland - Test 3 - 16 July 2022

[Groundhog]

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.

The spire looks like a giant prick so people often think it's a homage to Eddie Jones

 

[Jer1cho]

Ireland, I hope this isn't your peak. We need this in the WC next year
.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Andy Farrell pole position for England job?

With Edwards defence?

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

I actually just feel a huge sense of relief because we should have just won that series anyway with how it panned out.. unlike before when a win over NZ is pure ecstasy being a big upset.. says so much, class

 

[Gavin]

National holiday for Ireland on Monday?

Do that include the North?

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

What a freak Beirne is

Who got MOTM??

 

[Bluemoon]

Andy Farrell pole position for England job?

Would have to offer him some serious green for that at this point. Leaving this Ireland team and set up would be madness for the RFU.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Do that include the North?

Of course.

 

[Groundhog]

Oh to be a bead of sweat on Josh's beautiful head

 

[GoTheNaki]

Scott Robertson is surely the next coach post-world cup

Post World Cup???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Why would we want to be put out in the QFs... We're going to have a massive punch on with Australia just to hope to retain the Bledisloe.

The North coming to everyone's rescue just like game of thrones

 

[Groundhog]

Steinlager Cup > Webb Ellis

 

[Derpus]

Just because you don't understand the laws doesn't mean they don't exist

Mate it was one decision one week and a completely different one for an identical incident the next. Rugby is such trash these days.

I dont even have a dog in this fight.

Why?
Post World Cup without Sexton Ireland will be a different place

Also let's be real England will always be his top job.

 

[Derpus]

Great win for the Irish. NZ did their characteristic broken field counter-attack but Ireland managed to control the game well enough that NZ had to engineer their own chances and came up with very little.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Great stuff Ire. Thought it was going to be a massive implosion at one point in the second half, but that's huge.

Rivers of Guinness and a spectacular NZ post mortem in prospect.

You'd think so. I'm not sure how he'd have took being sacked in 2015 though. The RFU have a habit of passing people off.

Just thought that whilst Irish rugby is in this place, it'd be sensible to stay after the WC as well. Loads of depth, as harmonious as a set as you can have. Appreciate Sexton will be done but this team will have 4 years to solve that problem. England job will come will all sorts of off field issues.

Won't challenge your knowledge on this one though as you'll know more about Andy Farrell than me!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

He already said he would've joined Eddie Jones as defense coach if promised the Head coach role. But RFU didn't want to do that.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Farrell got to be a contender for Lions head coach as well.
