Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown & Dublin Duel

[akan004]

That Irish prop had his hand on the ground during the entire last scrum

[ACT Crusader]

That was a poor missed tackle by Moala in the lead up to that try.

Crotty goneski. Looks like a bad injury.

[kiwiinmelb]

interesting situation , we have selected a team full of x factor , and we are getting zero possession

[Mokey]

We are missing whitelock and retallick so bad.

[dingo]

Owen Franks scaring the audience as they wait for poor Murphy to be carted off.

(by taking his shirt off)

[Nepia]

AH crap, no ALB on the bench.

[kidcalder]

trying to watch any help?

Yep, just when I was thinking it'd be nice to get rid of Moala just after half time. And the Herald had questions about Leinert-Brown's defence......

[Stargazer]

Shit, that injury to Crotty looked bad. If he's out of the tour, who will they take out of the Maori ABs? Rieko?

[Stargazer]

Stupid comment from myself. Rieko already in the squad. The question should be, do they take someone out of the Maori ABs first, then who.

[Nepia]

@Stargazer Isn't Reiko already in the ABs, he was loaned to the Maori this weekend.

[ACT Crusader]

@Stargazer they've got ALB, Moala, Fekitoa plus Ioane, so no need for any extras

Our lineout sucks.

Naholo injured now

[Gunner]

Why the fuck did A Smith kick that away?
Gone the length with ball in hand, then kicks it away with no chaser when we get to the 22.
Dumb.

[dingo]

Decent bit of possession at last.

Pity it got mucked up

[Stargazer]

@ACT-Crusader Yes, you're probably right. If they want extra cover, I'd take Buckman out of the Baabaas if he's eligible (he has a NzRU/Highlanders contract but currently playing in Japan, so not sure).

[Rapido]

Crotty realising his 'time' is being taken from him. Knows that there are about 10 guys jostling for those 2 spots. God knows the lay of the land in 12 months or so when he's able to return.

Poor bugger.

[Donsteppa]

Dane Coles and Aaron Smith are regressing to the mean in a big hurry.

[No Quarter]

Our lineout is killing us.

[Gunner]

Half time cant come soon enough.
Does Hansen go the silent treatment, or tear them all a new one?
Id go the latter.

[kiwiinmelb]

WTF is going on in the lineouts ?
