Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown & Dublin Duel

[Gunner]

Ok, so in my hot headedness, I lied, I am still watching.

We need Cruden on ASAP, this will come down to kicks if we wanna get out of jail where. Can't afford for can't kick Barrett to be kicking for goal anymore today.

Ha, and as I type he nails ne from the sideline.

[Nepia]

Irish commentator thinks BFA lost the ball before the line.

I feel that Kearns is going to have to up his game next year.

[Mokey]

Dare we say...comeback?

[kiwiinmelb]

ill stick my neck out and say we can win this now

[booboo]

Nice try Beaudy ... but didn't need the extra metre anyway ...

Mental challenge for Ireland now. They have to keep attacking, no way they can hang on to an 8 point lead.

thats the thing, they cant afford to hang in, they need to attack

[No Quarter]

BB uses his "into the wind" kicking style and nails it. Lol.

[taniwharugby]

and straight away, 3 back....

[Donsteppa]

Why it has taken this long to get rid of Moody is bizarre.

[No Quarter]

Soft penalty gives Ireland some relief.

Cruds is on

[Bones]

Loving the refs inconsistency.

[Stargazer]

Ardie on for Tuipolotu??????

[booboo]

Still a two try game

[dingo]

Be nice if the ref was consistent. Ireland have been using the blockers in front of the kick off receiver as well.

This thread is hilarious. When it was going wrong the bitterness and abuse was startling. And suddenly half the team should never have been selected.

I'm guessing the game has changed, because the thread has a completely different tone.

[akan004]

Stupid penalties. Ofa and Faumaina are good replacements, will give us more go forward.

[booboo]

@dingo absolutely

[taniwharugby]

we are so rubbih in the air todau

[Stargazer]

Peranara was the most crucial replacement. The game changed after he game on.

But we aren't there yet ...
