There we go. Very patient.

DellyBelly

Yeas....that took a long time

DDC1990

Good try, lots of picking and driving. And squeezed through under the posts.

Ectoplasm

Really well worked try. Brilliant.

DDC1990

Officiating v.poor.

NZ girl toes on the line, but play went on.

What was that penalty for?

She didn't release in the tackle, after my complaining about the referee, that was well spotted.

Pity, because it was an excellent tackle, and great rob, but she needed to show the release better.

Keepiing them out at the end there is massive

macslash

Great defence there! 1 down aint bad at HT. Ref has been very poor though.

DDC1990

Great defence at the end, and Ireland go in 1 point down, 8-7

Great half, and unlucky to be behind.

Pudsy33

Irelands work at the breakdown is unbelievably good

Just having a quick look at the womens wiki page; not only have Ireland never beaten the All Blacks, they have never played them either.

Pudsy33

The NZ number 4 doing her best McCaw impression there, all over the ball. Definitely a penalty

Is that Nonu's sister at 12

Pudsy33

Ireland's 12 hits like a truck

The White Feather

I don't know all the rules to the game and am no rugby expert but is it just me or is the ref giving everything to NZ?

Dave_The_Sheep

Great last ditch tackle on the winger there.

budhabob

Ref and assistant missed blatant knock on there. Thankfully worked out OK. Some great defence there, NZ were seriously upping the tempo there.

No she isn't. The ref isn't great but she's just poor and not giving either side more than she should.

FrannoFan

Ref is a joke!missing things is one thing. Not knowing rules on mauls is embarrassing!

Joeseph Balls

I'm in a house with no TG4. Any links to this? Thanks

DDC1990

!!!!!!!!!!

She came in the side and took the ball out of the side of the ruck!

How is that not a penalty!!!!

Dave_The_Sheep

I'm not sure, but I think there's a water break. Maybe the ref could clarify.

ScissorPaperRock

You beauty!!!!

DDC1990

TRY!!!!!!!

The Lost Sheep

Great Score
Ireland into the lead!
12-11 conv to come

Eod100

What a try!

Dave_The_Sheep

Cracking return, some pace there. The NZ 9 was shagged.

[edit] Some conversion too.

DDC1990

What a kick. That is O'Gara/Sexton stuff.

Zzippy

Great kick too!

its_phil

Pudsy33

Can Briggs play for the mens team? What a ****ing kick.

Concede straight after try (groan)

DDC1990

Good scrum move.

Briggs looks our biggest threat, with ball in hand. Great kicker as well.

Penalty chance here.

EDIT: Splits the posts. 17-14 to Ireland

wingnut

She was watching caddyshack... be the ball be the ball

Zzippy

She's some kicker! Wonder would Pat Lam consider signing her...

DDC1990

Great hitting in the rucks, but we can't keep giving ball away with kicks.

DellyBelly

Tackling is gone missing

donfers

Jaysus...the amount of line breaks

DDC1990

4 minutes from history.. but it's New Zealand

DellyBelly

Was she crying?

ThisRegard

Yeah, better not be the men all over again! It's killing me waiting for it to end.

donfers

DellyBelly

This is a great win...fair play to the ladies
