Come on Ireland!
22 Drop in, Ireland
Ireland getting all the luck and the bounce of the ball at the moment. Hope it stays that way for the next 60 minutes.
Try Julian Savea, under the sticks
And here come the Blacks and they make it look so simple in the end.
Ireland 19 / 7 All Blacks
Too easy this is what makes the All Blacks the best, 19/0 down and they just change gear no problem…
Have we seen the end of the Irish challenge because Ireland haven’t had any possession for a while. Kommaan Oirland!
Wonderful open rugby
Game is being played at some pace, hopefully Ireland have built enough of a lead and will add to it but somehow think the All Blacks will come good in the end, they almost always do
Ireland need some points even just a 3 pointer…
Ireland hot on attack again!
5m Irish scrum…
All Blacks look jaded at times when Ireland run hard at them
Ireland look great on attack and the ABs making mistakes. ABs may have underestimated the challenge they would face today – a bit like they did last year against England.
Strong Irealnd scrum, sees an Ireland penalty… they will go for goal, right option!
Good decision, take the 3 pointer Ireland.
Should have gone for the lineout, even if they don’t score it keeps play in All Blacks territory this allows All Blacks chance to get back into Ireland half.
Ireland 22 / 7 All Blacks
Pakistan 218/9 (50 ov)
South Africa 76/3 (16.1 ov)
South Africa require another 143 runs with 7 wickets and 33.5 overs remaining
All Blacks penalty, within 10 of the Irish kick…
Ireland hold the maul up, and get the scrum
SA 79/4 AB just out for 10
Would be great if Ireland can get some more points before half time.
Lemoenetyd.
Ireland giving the All Blacks a real torrid time
Ok halftime and the lead is 15 points, to Ireland that is!
@ Bullscot:
Cricket team disrupted by Kallis and Smith.
We should have played the in form boys
THAT was a spirited Ireland performance!
77 @ Bullscot:
That worked out ok for Ireland taking the 3 pointer, shows you what I know, normally I would say go for posts but just felt that the All Blacks are so dangerous you want to keep them pinned in their 22 as much as possible, but Ireland did well there got the 3 points and kept the All Blacks scoreless for rest of half.
Well what will happen in the second half? Can Ireland hold on to win or will the ABs as usual finish stronger and sneak this one comfortably in the end. History is on the side of the All Blacks.
If Ireland keep playing and dont try and defend we will see something amazing today
