[November Tests 2016 EOYT] Ireland vs. New Zealand (05/11/2016)

None of the SH teams fronted up so well to the ABs. Making their forwards look ordinary at the moment.
 
Barrett has been average like I was worried about, so far. He'll probably shoot a gap at some point tho, right?

I think this is showing that when a game opens up Barrett is the best in the world, but in a tight defence game he doesn't have the game management needed from a fly half. I imagine Cruden will be coming on quite early with Barrett shifting to 15 so he can focus on his running game.
 
And they once said Murray wouldn't lace Smiths boots. Ha ha Murray you beauty.

Sexton going off wont be good though
 
I love that feeling when you can't believe what you are seeing. Ireland must easily have made this 50/50 at worst now.

Maybe Aaron saw a cheerleader and was distracted. :p
 
Just shows, if you take the game to NZ, they look quite average.
 
Ireland taking their chances, have spells of possession, defending well, good set piece. Keep this up and even NZ will struggle to come back.
