Spring Tour: New Zealand vs Ireland - 2nd Test. (16/6/2012, 07:35 GMT)

[groga]

Great game of rugby!

 

[Peat]

Ahh, that's beyond harsh.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How did Ireland throw that away?!

Good game by them, and atrocious game by the ABs.

 

[killer08]

great game, good performance for ireland imagine if we had POC ferris bowe and fitz

 

[Darwin]

Don't know how we snuck that... it was basically 16 v 14 at the end, with Weepu doing his best to put pressure on Carter

 

[Tricia McMillan]

We didn't deserve to win that game.

 

[HB Scot]

Unlucky Ireland so so close that was a real test match and they gave the World Champions a real scare.

 

[SelimNiai]

What a match. This is why we spend most of our lives either watching people chase or chasing that ovoid shape ball ourselves. What a game, what a turnaround in performance from Ireland.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Big call from Nigel Owens in that scrum in the New Zealand 22. Not saying it was definitely wrong, but theres plenty of room for disagreement on it. Game-changing, arguably

 

[HB Scot]

O'Driscol an absolute star.

 

[cardassian]

Wow what a game!
Ireland turned up to play tonight and are so unlucky to lose that at the end.

 

[Mablung]

Can we carry that form and grit over to the 3rd test?

 

[Scan]

If we had had Bowe, Ferris and O'Connell we might have won. Absolutely gutted and proud at the same time. What a match.
We definitely have the grit to carry on into the next Test. The Munster and Leinster, and even the Ulster guys know how the win big, tight games.
COME ON IRELAND!!

 

[antipodean]

Congratulations and commiserations Ireland. Brilliant improvement from last week and a fantastic Test match.

 

[Rhyer]

Good game. My only complaint was the yellow card, Dagg was in the air so couldn't change his trajectory, definitely not even a penalty. Ireland really turned up.

 

[cardassian]

Can we carry that form and grit over to the 3rd test?

Let's hope so.

 

[lucky number 7]

You know in a way it's a good thing we lost...Kidneys contract could have been extended.

Although how long have I been shouting for Ronan at 10 and Sexton 12 for a long time. I want to see Madigan Sexton in that same combination for Leinster now.

 

[Darwin]

If we had had Bowe, Ferris and O'Connell we might have won. Absolutely gutted and proud at the same time. What a match.

If we had Jane, Kahui, Kaino, Boric, and Mealamu we might have won by 12

Anyways... was really impressed by Cane once he came on - he carried really well and looked a far better player than McCaw Hope the injury to Read isn't too bad, but I wouldn't mind seeing Cane get a start next week.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Good game. My only complaint was the yellow card, Dagg was in the air so couldn't change his trajectory, definitely not even a penalty. Ireland really turned up.

He didn't have to lead with the elbow. Scummy.

 

[lucky number 7]

If we had Jane, Kahui, Kaino, Boric, and Mealamu we might have won by 12

Not today ...Not today...
