Couldn’t agree more, thoroughly deserved and Ireland should fancy their chances next week.
Could’ve been more if they had given a penalty try for the tackle on Ringrose.

No way was anyone catching Ringrose in the circumstances
Great performance by Ireland, POM & Sexton were immense but we did leave a lot of points out there when we got a bit over excited and the execution just went to pot

The Rugby Rebels response to Ireland's historic win has been less than overwhelming !

Gave us a good old rogering that's for sure. You are looking pretty good for the third test. Let's see if the All Black engine has the choke stuck on or what?

Re: First test win in New Zealand !
The ABs, when they have the hump up, and especially at home, are a very hard team to beat. I'd say that they would still be favourites for the decider next weekend, provided they pick their best team. How come Cane is playing for NZ, let alone captain ?morepork wrote:Gave us a good old rogering that's for sure. You are looking pretty good for the third test.

I'd say everyone is too focused on the 12th to comment on the rugby!

Anyways, haven't seen the match but a win, apparently an emphatic win, in NZ is awesome. Nothing less than you boys deserve for the last 20 years of continuous development and improvement.
Did I read somewhere that Tadgh Furlong has a 5-1-4 winning record against NZ? Just fantastic.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

So emphatic that Ireland were denied top-spot in the rankings through an uplift for a dominant victory only by the late NZ try. Another win this weekend will see them go top though.Donny osmond wrote:Anyways, haven't seen the match but a win, apparently an emphatic win, in NZ is awesome.

Just took your revenge on the Maoris as well today. Good tour all around for Ireland after a rubbish start.

Re: First test win in New Zealand !
A good win by the Irish reserves but the Maroi were sloppy with poor handling throughout and looked dangerous when they clicked. As in the last game, the Maori do seem to get away with endless obstruction and blocking, most of it not even subtle and obviously coached. Can't understand why refs are letting this go. It really spoils the game.Puja wrote:Just took your revenge on the Maoris as well today. Good tour all around for Ireland after a rubbish start.
