[2018 November Tests] Ireland vs New Zealand (17/11/18)

[Nubiwan]

Listing offsides is banter....you must be the joker of your friend group

Couldn't let it go eh? How did you make out in the end?

 

[Nubiwan]

What a game so far. Awesome rugby from both sides. RWC final type stuff.

Best rugby spectacle since the Lions tour 2017.

Is KeiRON Reid past it?

 

[Nubiwan]

I disagree that Ireland are on top here. They need to be about 14pts in front at half time to be remotely confident.

FAAAAARRRTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! Too many beans.

You have to remember, NZ is happy to throw matches before the RWC. All that happened today is Ireland gave NZ the keys to beating them.

Yes, New Zealand blew that on purpose, did they? Here is my other leg.

I am not even Irish, and have a difficult time recalling when New Zealand were so out manned in so many phases of a rugby match. It was still tight, but Ireland thoroughly deserved winners.

Bugger, felt we were the better team, I'd back us to win in Japan vs them though.

Thought the booing crowd was classless as well as the Irish commentary.

But, the players on the field performed well, credit to their efforts.
I was impressed by their flankers, Stander had a good game.
Their defence was great, expected since they're at home and never beaten the All Blacks there before and this is their best team ever and likely one of our worst in over a decade.

Blindside is hurting us and handling errors. Also I think the leadership isn't there. Read is a great 2nd Lt, but an awful Capt.
Wounds will be licked, players will be wrapt in cotton wool, as they will have to be before the netx RWC and I expect us to win the next meeting, whenever that shall be.

Can't wait to thrash you green pricks next time.

You thought you were the better team? Are you actually having a laugh?

No chip. We haven't seen Joubert for a very good reason and he made a significantly less serious error that Barnes.

It makes me love Wayne Barnes just a little bit that he can still illicit these sort of responses 11 years later, I have no doubt that NZers who aren't even born yet and their future offspring will still be deriding him for many many years to come. It will make me smile the same way I smile when an Aussie refers to Bodyline. And they have the nerve to call us whingers...******* laughable coming from the saltiest of all salties.

Are you alright mate?

The thought of Barnes costing NZ the game today is laughable. I feel for the proper NZ rugby fan!

I'm sure steeler is actually a reincarnation of valley.

No way. They wouldn't have expected to lose. But, they didn't bring all their cards to the table.

My response was in line with Pom, regarding Bean's comment...

I just added the part relating to you, as valley liked to dislike any comment regarding wales, and you're doing the same now.

Still whinging, I see.

As I was saying...

NZ... before the last World Cup if felt like their second 23 could have been favourites. It is all very different now.

Agreed and great news for rugby that.
