Conor Mc Namara.

As a rating over a three test series I think it's very fair.

Porter absorbed the tackle.

That means he didn’t put force into the tackle, it was a passive tackle, in other words he braced himself for the incoming impact.

My take on it was that Retallick went for the big collision and came off worse for it. Tough luck.

Just watched it back. Beirne in the last 15 was incredible. Was particularly nice to see that it was Dane Coles that he minced at the ruck to turn the ball over on the 75th minute mark. I spotted Coles leaving a bit on Sexton when the two were on the deck a few minutes prior.

Still can't tackle standing up

Looks like Bundee is trying to sober Beetlejuice up with some chicken!

Strand1970 · 16-07-2022 11:39pm

I want to admit I was 110% wrong about Jonny Sexton and I am delighted to admit I was wrong. He is class, period. I finally understand there is no one of his ability at 10 in Ireland or anywhere at the moment and we are a shadow team without him presently. Jesus I hope he is there for the world cup next year. Beirne was unreal today

16-07-2022 11:41pm

Sexton needs to be put into Cryosleep now and reanimated about 6 weeks before the world cup

Strand1970 · 16-07-2022 11:48pm

Don't like videos of sports people having a night out after a good win. I think it's unfair, we are all entitled to cut loose and relax without everyone seeing it

That's making excuses. Let's be real, it's basically the same as last week.

Personally I don't believe accidental head clashes should be reds but if you're applying the laws consistently, then porters was a red too.

It's porters responsibility to not make contact with the head. He didn't adhere to his responsibility and made contact with the head. Giving a yellow was a cop out. It was either a red or nothing.

Ireland have been very lucky with cards over the past year or so.

Is his commentary voice an affectation? He sounds different when he's doing post-match interviews. He should tone it down a bit, imo. It sounds a bit over the top and contrived.

What needs to happen is Frawley needs to start getting games at 10 and Carbery needs to find some form in red.

What are the chances of him getting outhalf games (and more so, the games against the tougher URC teams and the ERC cup games) at Leinster ahead of Sexton and the two Byrnes?

(i.e the long ongoing issue there)

TRC10 · 17-07-2022 12:14am

Reiko Ioane sticking his tongue out, making funny noises and throat slitting gestures and trying to look intimidating becomes less scary and a bit funny when they've lost 4 of the last 5 games. He'd probably be better off reigning it in until they win a few games.

I'm watching the match back now and I'll admit it gave me a laugh.

kuang1 · 17-07-2022 12:20am

Have a look at this... Cringe of the highest order imo. Brings advertising and product placement to a new low.

Start watching right on the hour mark:

Edit, start watching at 1:00:40 to be precise!

kuang1 · 17-07-2022 12:29am

Wow... Another amazing stat from today:

Being behind by 19 points at halftime was the biggest halftime defecit the ABs experienced in over 600 test matches!

🤣 Christ, the NZRU must be hard-up for cheddar to be engaging in that sort of nonsense.

Mils Muliana must be thinking "I used to be somebody you know"

Strand1970 · 17-07-2022 12:40am

Watching the game again now on sky without the emotion. First half we were clinic. Will be interesting to see where NZ are against SA Iin a few weeks

Strand1970 · 17-07-2022 12:49am

Everytime bundee took the kick off he just stayed in side the 22, clever

kuang1 · 17-07-2022 1:06am

Knowing the end result, it's not too stress inducing (and maybe even a little smug-inducing) to watch Will Jordan run 80 metres to score what ended up being NZ's last points of the game.

As an earlier poster highlighted, if Sexton had given up the chase, the conversion could have been a lot easier to make it a one point game. Barrett missed the conversion and it was 22-25, 61 minutes on the clock.

Jordan actually dotted down that try on 59:36 on the match clock.

So that means NZ didn't score in the first OR last 20 minutes of that game today.

Amazing testament to Irish defence.

Samuri Suicide · 17-07-2022 1:08am

I'm a "blow in"

Fantastic game. For me the performance in the second half was where Ireland showed their grit with the All Blacks on the charge. This is where we learnt how to win a game.

I lived in NZ for 4 years (Christchurch), rugby is literally a religion there. 20 pitches in Hagley Park on a Saturday rammed with U8/U12/U14 + kids playing their hearts out. What Ireland achieved is fking amazing and the while team/coaches etc should be very proud so should we...as the armchairs viewers.

I was having flashbacks to the bataclan attacks when those booms started going off. Dumb af

Strand1970 · 17-07-2022 1:18am

This morning watching Jordan try I had mixed emotions but I enjoyed his try.

Well at some point in time someone is going to have to look at the bigger picture on this stuff. Ireland winning a World Cup would mean more to the IRFU in terms of revenue over the next half decade than another round of competing in our regional competition.

At some point we need to stop hiding behind our desire to have a few pints in February as a valid reason to inhibit our performance every fourth Autumn.

I don’t know who I’m appealing to here really. The powers that be continue to be extremely small minded and without vision as far as this goes.

To put it another way: eventually you’re going to run out of road hyping up a sporting entity that fails to get into the last 4 of an essential 10 team competition, when that competition is the biggest platform for the sport.

Ideally this incredible moment would free Irish rugby from its self imposed shackles that imprison it from winning the big game. We are big and strong and have nothing to fear. Let’s focus our energies on more of what really matters.
