Another penalty to Ireland
High tackle from Smith there, come on ref be tough on them.
Sexton puts it in touch. Line out Ireland on NZ 10m line
This is a carbon copy of the 1st half. NZ come out firing, but after a few minutes Ireland are all over them. Gooooo Ireland!!!
Ag damn Ireland knock it on. They were looking threatening there.
Ireland Ireland together standing tall!
Again, as with the first half, some very good, and hard work by the Irish ends in a fumble, and advantage NZ again.
Go Ireland.
Jeez love these tours. Just shows a team can only truely be measured after playing another team after 3 tests. One off tests are no good.
BOD is going to have to go off for stitches, I think
64@ bean1:
Hello bean jus had to pop back to answer that one, maybe like that in west coast and Borders but up here its much drier and we get lots of nice sunshine, jus not today, and no Im not a tourism rep 🙂
98@ Puma:Agree, real rugby, at last!!!
hehe. McCaw loses it in the tackle. Come on Ireland.
Another penalty to Ireland, too far for a pot, I think
Sexton puts it in touch just inside NZ 10m line
101@ Just For Kicks:
For sure. Love the tours. Would actually scrap the Rugby Championship to have a AB tour here and us there one year. We should just get back to tours. Tour Oz, Arg and the NH teams and them us every year. After this tour wish we were going to have the ABs tour here for 4 tests like it used to be. That would have been mouth watering!
Dang, the Irish knock on AGAIN
Ag, come on Ireland. Too much handling errors creeping in.
OK, there the All Blacks go…. hammer time!
O’Driscoll still a superb player.
Ireland piling on the pressure, but must turn this pressure into points. They keep coming away with nothing
….and more silly mistakes costing Ireland valuable ground
Ciao a tutti!
Nice to see you BigCat!
Nice tight game, the way tests should be. Really enjoying this game. Hate the one sided games.
Carter fluffs a drop kick, to the immense relief of the Oirish
Damn, Ireland not lying down today, hey…. makes one wonder for the Wallabies / Wales game and the Bokke / England game.

@ The_Young_Turk:Hi there Turky. See you’ve been keeping the site alive in the last couple of days
112 @ The_Young_Turk:
Hello you old Fruit!
Missed the first part of this test as was watching the golf till 03.30 last night. Never expected NZ would be struggling against Ireland! Would have got up earlier if I had known. Go Ireland!
115@ grootblousmile:
Been thinking just that about our Boks for later. Hope we are ready for the English. I am sure we are though, really have faith in HM. Though the players still have to deliver. Think it will be close. Boks by 5 I have them by 10 on bru though..hehe.
