[November Tests 2016 EOYT] Ireland vs. New Zealand (19/11/2016)

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

With Kaino out would it have made sense to play Tuipulotu at 6 to maintain that physicality?

 

[GMAC]

Its going to be the game of the Autumn Tests. can't wait.

He's a specialist lock, I think we did enough experimenting in Chicago :lol:

Ardie deserves a start IMO with Cane coming off later for Squire. Todd probably deserved a look in to.

What's the general consensus on Todd, in NZ?
I was very impressed with what little I saw of him in the RC

Most people are big fans, the man always works his socks off, fantastic player.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Its nice to see an Autumn test with a bit of meaning in it.

 

[munstermuffin]

Rumours this morning that Toner was out.
But thankfully have had it confirmed it's only rumour nothing more

 

[TheOvalBall]

Almost there
Really looking forward to this!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Was it me or was that awful?
Not liking this band TBH sounds to tinny.

 

[GoTheNaki]

I'm awake, I'm awake.

 

[TheOvalBall]

I'm awake, I'm awake.

lol

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Are people gonna kick off about the Irish crowd not being silent during the haka, or is that just reserved for the English

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Amazed Savea kept his shirt

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I think NZ are up for this!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why is SOB still on the pitch if he took a big blow to the head and the medics were on and everything?
Surely he should be off for a HIA?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Atmosphere is electric.

 

[TheOvalBall]

I'm always amazed that there is no cover defense for a cross kick from NZ. They usually have 2 or 3 players to spare to score.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Leave Henshaw alone!

It wasn't a shoulder charge though.

Ringrose on @12.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Barely a penalty and this Irish commentator is braying for a red card
What a ****

 

[GoTheNaki]

That's a shame. Hell of an impact tho.

The TMO said not even a penalty to Jaco.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That's that...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The Irish 23 chewing gum on the pitch... What an idiot.

That's a shame. Hell of an impact tho.

The TMO clearly said ONLY a penalty. This Irish commentator is really getting on my nerves, stop going on ffs.
