Holt shit. What happened to Matt Rogers? Looks 80.
Triathlons

New Zealand beating itself again. Dominates world rugby for a decade, exports its IP coaching and playing talent all over the world and then fights its own shadow. You get a sense they are in mythical arm wrestle with themselves, both figuratively and literally. A tragedy.

I genuinely think the Irish are worried. They haven't been able to dominate us at the breakdown, get a stranglehold on the game and know it's stupid stuff (I'm talking to you Will Jordan & Shannon) which has kept them in the game.
We have less to fix than they have, I think

WTF was that penalty for?
I'm sorry but this Ref team is a fucking lottery. I heard one penalty called for players around the ruck? I reckon I've seen at least two penalties against us at the ruck with no Mic near it other than being the ball carrier on the ground. It's like they're being told, keep the game close.

It’s a professional game. Coaches and players just looking for the next job. Yes something has been lost.

All Blacks forwards superb at the breakdown, Ireland nowhere to be seen at times. Ireland nerves are affecting them hugely. Lots of errors. But they are still in it. Excellent first half of rugby.

First half stats. Very even. Ireland perhaps playing territory better.

The obstruction penalty on Frizzell and the YC for Smith is absolute bollocks. As M4L says, there were forwards passes before that no called as well.
We need to stop giving away easy points after we score. It’s not allowing them to feel the scoreboard pressure.
Very good work at the breakdown but we have to shore up that defence. It’s very poor defending to give away those 2 tries.
Cmon Black - big 40 minutes coming. We can do this.

Remember the second half vs France?
Let's not do that
Big worry. First 10 minutes...
