Well well well. What do you Farrell haters say now?

Must be through to the semi finals now.

Great win for the kiwis.

Was Herring excluded from the group hug at the final whistle because they still think he might have the COVID….?

OK Ireland won but it was a poor performance against a limited All Blacks team. Ireland to be found out in the 2023 World Cup as usual when it really matters.
How do they fill the stadium with that kind of stuff?
Beats me.

I thought it was a really good Ireland performance. They dominated just about every aspect of the game bringing massive pressure and forcing errors. My main criticism would be lack of clinical finishing which kept NZ in it.
Lowe is still a one trick pony.

Lowes one trick has got him well ahead of stockdale. Over to Jacob to respond in the next few months.

100%. The only reason for picking stockdale in the past year was that he wasn't as bad as Lowe. I am not yet convinced Lowe's defensive issues are fully behind him but he was great today and better than Stockdale has been in green for a couple of years.

Over to you now Jacob.

Stockdale is clear. He actually beat them single handedly.

Hendo was immense. Ireland learned the hard way in the past. The lions couldn't understand it. You simply cannot leave the man out. The pack will suffer.

It was a very good performance by Ireland especially by the forwards ,front row and back row, both in attack and defence. The penalty count was extremely good from an Irish point of view with very few awarded to the ABs -- and one they got against Hendie was a case of a ref trying to compensate for a previous harsh against the ABs ( the yellow was harsh -- the ref was hoping to shut Sexton up -- yapping because he was being targeted ) ( actually surprised he lasted so long ).

My MOTH was Ringrose about his best performance in an Irish shirt -- the reason being the forwards were playing as a unit and the performance of one was was based on the unit performance not an individual by one which was evident because even with the changes in the pack in the second half the pack performance was maintained.

The strategy of keeping the ball in hand rather than kick possession away was the key and any kicks were contestable with Conway being the most effective chaser.

It's about time Leinster beat one of the touring teams.

Jacob isn't playing international standard rugby. For me, Rob Balou is the future on the wing.

Jacob isn't playing rugby at all. He's been injured for months and still people claim he is out of form.

He has missed four games I believe. His last year or more has been below par.
