    How confident do we look in ourselves here? Just see out the half now lads!

    NZ don't know what's happening, tbh. Beautiful try.

    Absolutely ruthless from Ireland

    Unbelievable stuff

    New Zealand absolutely shocked



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    That celebration by Earls, doing what we’re all feeling.

    I can't remember the last time I watched NZ and they looked so atrocious.

    What a performance though.

    What a half. Incredible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭mun1


    Great try , NZ don’t know what to do here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,381 ✭✭✭Yurt2


    All Blacks in disarray. Ireland doing everything right, this is one of the best first half performances from any Irish side I've seen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,751 ✭✭✭This is it


    A serious first half, dominating.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭cuttingtimber22


    The intensity of Ireland and the errors of New Zealand. Very pleasantly surprised after that first half.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 740 ✭✭✭phily2002


    VDF outstanding again, Ryan going great, some brilliant tackles. More of this second half!

    There'll be a huge pushback from New Zealand in this second half.

    They might even win this game, but I think a huge amount of damage has been done to New Zealand's reputation and 'aura' over this series. More sides will believe that they'll be able to beat them.

    I slept in and have just woke up... I can't believe the score!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,171 ✭✭✭DellyBelly


    That last try should be the game now. Incredible to win a series in New Zealand. All blacks look lost...great day for Irish rugby

    New Zealand not at the races at all but great to see Ireland punishing them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    Big 40 minutes left for us, the AB will have 2-3 goes I believe we can do but will be tough.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    I said after the first test that POC needed to step up and he has in buckets. The lineout in attack and defence has been brilliant in the last two games. Scrum has improved radically too so Fogarty should get his plaudits too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,416 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    That’s been the best 40 minutes of Irish rugby in my lifetime (I’m 38). Absolutely incredible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭StevenToast


    Ian Foster is out the door after this....

    Phenomenal from Ireland....there can be no way back for a rudderless, leaderless NZ now....

    NZ's complete inability to build pressure is incredible.

    As it stands their only likely scores are from transition from loose play They just don't look capable of working their way down the field



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,627 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Foster is more toast than a club sandwich



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭septictank


    What do you say in the AB's dressing room, that would sound half believable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 417 ✭✭Manc-Red_


    We score a try first here in the second half and we won’t be stopped.

    Better Born Lucky Than Rich.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,251 ✭✭✭✭Losty Dublin


    This is unreal; maybe even surreal. In all my years I've never seen a NZ team play as poorly and as listlessly. Don't get me wrong, Ireland are playing well but at the same time it isn't exactly looking like blistering stuff here from us, mainly because NZ are not at the races here. Certainly they can not be as poor in the second half on paper but at this rate......

    NZ are more likely to lose by 50 points than win this. They are dreadful. There is no way back for that team.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭swiwi_


    You guys are O for awesome: a good group of well-selected players, with a discernible gameplan being executed to perfection. NZ are a shambles and, barring a miracle, will get beaten off the park in the 2nd 40.

    NZRU only have themselves to blame: picking a coach with no record other than total and utter mediocrity with the Chiefs and a fading effort at the end of Hansen's reign who overstayed his welcome by 2 years. No chance with this current coaching setup, but NZ have good players (including some not selected) so I wouldn't write us off with a change of coach.

    I'm off to the cupboard to look for a green item of clothing and to practise my Irish accent.

    Any score will do to be honest, 25-3 is game over really



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,413 ✭✭✭chupacabra




  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,530 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Aki having the game of his life. Centre combo looks really good. Doris and VDF in fine form, POM just loves playing NZ. Ryan excellent today. Sexton playing fantastically.

    Still a few things to improve on and a long 40 minutes ahead.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    New Zealand blitzed us over a 10 minute period in the first test. They have the ability to score from anywhere. It does look like Ireland have learned lessons from that game though and aren't kicking as loosely. So I'm hopeful that won't happen this half either.



  • Subscribers Posts: 41,915 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Only 50% of the job completed.

    We need to put the foot on the throat now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭septictank


    Their worst beating was 7–28 loss to Australia in 1999, could be worse today if we just keep going.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,546 ✭✭✭typhoony


    And a word for Dan Sheehan 12 months ago probably 4th choice hooker for Ireland now looking every bit the undisputed no1 hooker in Ireland

    We still need to take every scoring opportunity. 19 ahead now, getting that out to 21+ is important. NZ are all over the shop but they're never down-and-out.


    But what a performance from Ireland, hard to believe my eyes.


    Only bad thing is we're not going to be facing Ian Foster's NZ in the RWC we're going to be facing Scott Robertson's NZ.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    Yep I’m pretty sure they’re unhappy with their own performance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,430 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    First time in history that you wouldn't be concerned about a New Zealand comeback, they've got nuthin!

    Worth noting that the the worst the All Blacks have ever been beaten by, on home soil, is 21 points.

    In 138 years like.

    There isn't an Irish player not playing with excellence, speed, discipline, creativity; so whether they win by 30 or hold on to win by 1, they can be beyond proud.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭mun1


    I know it’s a cliche but the first 10 mins of the second half will be crucial .

    stop NZ scoring and its game over in those 10 mins . We will do that by playing as we have in the first half ,

    here we go !

    Late off the ball hit on Sextons back within a minute of the restart.

    The best away first half in a few years.

    Dan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    NZL is never defeated until the final whistle as cliché as it sounds. They destroyed us in 15 mins in the first test.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Fortuitous break for New Zealand there with the spilled ball.

    But that's how quickly they can score against you as well. We need to be sure we don't concede scores like that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    There was an awful cheap shot on sexton, off the ball, shoulder charge earl on in that passage. No idea how it was missed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭cuttingtimber22


    Why did Rob Kearney jinx us?
