@cgrant What Moody did was reckless and dumb with that tackle, but seriously how did he cost 2 tries?

Brian O'Driscoll - 0-13 vs New Zealand......"could have died" from a spear tackle
Robbie Henshaw - 1-0 vs New Zealand.....got up from a spear tackle, played on and scored the winning try.
I think todays Irish rugby players are a bit more appealing than those of yesteryear.

Interesting take on it not being a game for A Savea. What is a game for him then? Is he just there to come on when we're leading and help it be even more of a blowout? Seems rather pointless...
I'm more shocked that Moody scored 16 points.
For Ireland

Perfect game for him I reckon, got to see him in the midfield...

They scored two trys while he was in the bin. Because we were down in the forward pack they turned down a shot at goal and used the numerical advantage to drive over the line.
Put us under pressure needlessly. Third game he done something stupid trying to be a tough guy.

Numerical advantages are overstated when it comes to maul tries from 5 out. I doubt Moody would've made much difference there.
Was the other try when Moala missed a straight up tackle?

Would the All Blacks have been in the same field position to concede the first try without the help of Moody?
Moala's poor tackling in no way mitigates my post-loss wrath towards Moody.

if they didn't have the numerical advantage would they have gone for the 3 points instead of the drive and the subsequent try?
Can sit here with if's and but's all day.
Moody's discipline was a huge factor in the loss, not the only facto, but a huge one none the less.

Particularly if Moala was forced to play on injured because Crotty had gone off. What was it, a dislocated thumb and then stuff ripped off his elbow?

Moody's binning was a big momentum shifter shortly after Naholo had sliced them open to set up Moala's try. Very frustrating.

Yes - Sexton was carrying an injury into the game with his hamstring - that's why he eventually went off. And definite decision to not try and win by threes.
