No excuses.

NZ are playing better now. Terrific try.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:21 (eight months ago) link
What a solo effort. Come on
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:31 (eight months ago) link
Just toe to toe trading punches this half

nz being very very efficient with their effort

too easy
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:36 (eight months ago) link
if we aren't going to perform in the breakdown or the lineout they will pick us apart
Losing it at the lineout xxp
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:37 (eight months ago) link
Lineouts have been poor, but they struggled with that against SA for a good chunk of the match too
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:38 (eight months ago) link
as SA did themselves that night i thonk i remember?
we turned them over a lot too which is being reversed tonight

10 minutes to exert some pressure now

barnes is an honourable man ans an excellent official always said it
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:41 (eight months ago) link
lol
in fact hes also really handsome ive just noticed
but srsly i do think all blacks have been getting away with interference all game so hes just calling it straight now
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:42 (eight months ago) link
great half but if we play like this in the second i think we'll be left well behind by the whistle
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:43 (eight months ago) link
xp I get the feeling Sexton doesn't have the greatest faith in him either from earlier interactions, none of this "yes sir" shite
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:44 (eight months ago) link
ireland has a rich and tragic history and wayne barnes is about 1% of it all by himself
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 19:46 (eight months ago) link
been a fantastic battle and starting the same way this half
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:01 (eight months ago) link
oh dear from a fuckin lineout
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:14 (eight months ago) link
ball never looked straight mind
Brilliant kick too
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:15 (eight months ago) link
yep nerveless
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:17 (eight months ago) link
Ireland going too far too fast and losing nerve I think...
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:21 (eight months ago) link
And Sexton misses it..
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:22 (eight months ago) link
couple of poor decisions, trying to force the game far too early i thought
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:24 (eight months ago) link
that was close to a turnover, which nz have done brilliantly all night
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:27 (eight months ago) link
Good time to win a lineout
Ooh shit and a yellow for NZ
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:28 (eight months ago) link
definitely Ireland need to put the squeeze on now rather than looking for those Hollywood passes
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:29 (eight months ago) link
wéan na bearnaí
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:29 (eight months ago) link
xp keenan and lowe not *quite* penetrating with their runs like in other games and i think it is showing that we dont quite have the backup plan we thought
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:30 (eight months ago) link
Come on ffs
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:31 (eight months ago) link

sake the scrum again
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:33 (eight months ago) link
Been doing that all night
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:33 (eight months ago) link
NZ managing this so far
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:33 (eight months ago) link
Fucking hell give him two bites
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:35 (eight months ago) link
Ireland just cannot be ahead
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:37 (eight months ago) link
Now this
Wow
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:38 (eight months ago) link
doris having a very poor game
no need at all to rush for the line there eithere
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:39 (eight months ago) link
right winner
we should have played that running pressure aftwr the second yellow
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:51 (eight months ago) link
Just breaking
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:51 (eight months ago) link
great match
agree NZ earned it but so close
― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 14 October 2023 20:53 (eight months ago) link
What a start
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 15 October 2023 19:09 (eight months ago) link
Jesus this is incredible by both of them
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 15 October 2023 19:11 (eight months ago) link
This is shaping up to be even better than yesterdays game. I don't think I've ever seen a player block a conversion before.

No not have I

God this intensity, out of this world
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 15 October 2023 19:31 (eight months ago) link
Yeah, this is just insane. Can't see how they can keep this level up second half though
