    What on earth was the fullback playing at there? And would it have been a penalty try if Kearney had hoofed the ball out?

    No he can kick it out.

    I swore that Tutivake was alot older then 19 or 20 or is it a different guy? Ref seems useless for both sides though.

    Damn. That was unfortunate, there was some excellent defence before that cross field kick.

    If Kearney had kicked it, it wouldn't of been but i he threw it or used his hand to get it out then it possibly would have been.

    NZ have scored a try now 10-0

    No that is definitely a different Tuitavake. And I think Kearney should have put that ball into the fifth tier, he was completely isolated with 5 New Zealanders. Some heroic defence(Eoin Ryan!) but the try was coming. Will be hard to come back now.

    That's game over now, Ireland down to 14 men and NZ starting to play with confidence.

    Gates are opening sadly. Poor tackle by 22 but they were drifting anyway

    Very poor tackle. That try was way too easy in the end. Not looking good now

    Yes the top team goes to the semis and the rest go to play-offs for 5th, 7th place etc.

    It's all here.

    Great to see a charge on an Irish player not get penalised by the ref.

    Even at an early stage New Zealand's youngsters live up to their traditions - arrogance, violence, cheating. Inspiring stuff.

    Useless? Did you even watch the game? He was immaculate first half, a few errors towards the end and he is "useless"?

    Good player but very, very foolish to try catch that ball with one hand. Why??? He didn't need to do that! He was away - that was Ireland's chance of scoring gone... And they deserved a score. Great effort, great defence.

    Madigan is a great talent and massive prospect for the future but he really needs to work on his decision-making a lot. Some woeful decisions to kick the ball away / try offload when it clearly wasn't on...

    Why was Starmer-Smith so pro-New Zealand by the way? He was far more biased than the kiwi sitting beside him! Very irritating.

    that team can hold their heads up high, but for a bit of bad luck they could have made that scoreline closer.

    I loved seeing the all blacks scrum being manhandled towards the end


    well done lads

    One thing that always comes across when watching the NZ youth team is their arrogance. I find it absolutely infuriorating*

    * Especially when they beat us, which is always.

    I only saw the second half. And what I saw him do was

    -Get a yellow card
    -Trip over his own two feet when the try line was at his mercy
    -Drop a simple pass
    -Get run over for the first AB try.

    Looked useless to me anyway.

    Come on he didn't trip over his own feet mate, he was tackled for chrissake.

    And he didn't get run over for that try, he was in the sinbin. It was his replacement, Gahan. Very poor try saving effort alright.
