‘kin TMOs just have to have their say.
Ironically, the biggest cock up was before Ireland's try. Barnes asks whether Retalick was taken out, TMO confirms he was, Barnes doesn't here. Couple of phases Ireland get the penalty. TMo tries to get Barnes' attention but in failing around trying to fix his mike, it all gets lost. 3 points lost for NZ and from the resultant pressure, Ireland get 7.
Did retallick not take out sexton on that one?

Not seeing what was harsh about the yellow.
Still waiting for an Irishman to score a try though.
Fantastic match so far, more than living up to its hype
Yep, 4 tries by New Zealanders. I think we should get a point from each one scored by a kiwi playing away against us.
Lowe is digging ye out with a few bad kicks!

Right player, wrong team in possession penalty the wrong way

I'm really not a fan of the 50 22 law. Just seems inherently unfair.

If Hansen goes off that's huge for Ireland, he's one of those players who's in the right place at the right time and just makes it happen

One day, one day, not today,maybe not soon, but one day, someone with a whistle will pick up Ireland for running blockers ahead of the 2nd receiver

So you get the points and 10 mins with 14 again?

Bit of a dangerous gamble that by Taylor, with WB on the whistle.

3 times now from Porter. Maybe time for a 10 min think on the naughty step?

I lost count of how many phases there were at the end but I thought whoever went on to win would have fully deserved it, either for astonishing attack or amazing defence.

Hats off - like Ali/Foreman at the end.
Hope NZ take the jug after that. (assuming Eng bumble off-track)

Bloody hell. What a match!
I’m actually feeling sorry for Ireland. All those phases at the end and today is the day the All Blacks find their discipline. All Blacks deserved it, but only by a fingernail.
Could be hard for the All Blacks to get back up for next week. That was worthy of a final.

Cane and Savea were massive in that game. Aki huge in a losing cause.
Unlucky Ireland. Been a terrific side for years and will continue to be so.
20min v 14 men is probably where Ireland failed to capitalise. Two brain farts in that half, the defensive one for NZs try and Kelleher breaking off the maul early.
