[RWC2023 QF2] Ireland vs New Zealand (14/10/2023)

[Grizwald]

Ireland have been a bit too kick happy in the NZ 22, feels like they should hold on to the ball more.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why have they suddenly decided that POM on his own way out on the wing is the new meta?
Did they not know he's just a **** Stephen Ferris?

 

[IT157]

Uh oh... Not going according to script is it?

New Zealand winning was the script I had...

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

B. Barrett is one of the best players in the world. Hilarious the amount of backlash he gets.

Its the fate of a 10 that can't reliably kick penalties. I really rate him too, though more so at 10.

 

[McTallshort]

******* hell Ireland theres still 25 minutes left no need for that

 

[Booboobang]

Having B. Barret being a world class fullback as well as 10 meaning you can get him and mounga into one side is a bit like a cheat code.

If Ireland do lose this I will actually feel awful for them, legitimitely one of the best sides in the last couple of decades and done in for another QF exit because of a lopsided draw.

Jesus this game. All those people complaining about bad adverts for rugby so far this tournament - you better be watching this game

TBF England have been the only **** team

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Ooooooh….

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

cheeky by Ioane to move his body out of the way but keep his arm on the ball. Good call by barnes.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Ouch what a miss.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Uh oh, that's not a good sign

 

[IT157]

Oh he's pulled it!

 

[Jer1cho]

All blacks are gonna all black. They are controlling this game

Or they couldn't beat the All Blacks when it mattered. No shame in that most teams don't.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Holy ****

I'm not sure Ireland recover from this if they lose. Not this generation of players. Not in terms of winning a RWC down under.

Kind of rooting for them to have at least a well executed last 20mins so they can look themselves in the mirror if they lose.

 

[Bluemoon]

Someone better get the tech man out to recalibrate Sexton bot 2.0.

I wouldn't even say they are controlling. They have just stopped doing all the stupid **** they've been doing the past three years and just letting their really good players doing amazing things. It's beautiful to watch. If this version of the All Blacks played peak France (my hopeful finals) it could be the best game ever witnessed.
