@ The_Young_Turk:
That’s good glad to hear that, going ok here thanks. That’s kind of you, been a bit quiet lately have got various things demanding more time just when think it will quieten down something else crops up
Two Barrett’s on the field. Proud moment for Barrett family.
Joe Moody in trouble. Red card on the books. Looks ok.
High tackle looks like a high shoulder hit.
Ire line-out. 5 meter out.
OMFG! Ireland scores again!
Try Ireland. Massive moment for Ireland.
They drove it up to the middle of the field. Rucked it up. Changed direction and went wide to score in the corner. Simon Zebo.
Ireland try was so simple in the end. There is something amiss with this AB team.
30-8. Ireland.
30 minutes to go and ABs need 4 tries. Can they do it?
And there is the first one back.
50 minutes to go. 4 AB tries not impossible. Try NZ. PJ Perenara.
30-15.
Back and forth it goes. Savea in space. Great tackle by Tremble.
That try seemed to have sparked the ABs!
Ben Smith scores in corner. Tmo.
Looks OK.
Try awarded. 30-20.
And the ABs comeback is well on its way.
Conversion over right from the corner. 30-22.
Seems like it could be getting tense will Ireland lead be big enough
Deficit now only 8 and still 24 minutes remaining.
One has got to say that now an Ireland victory looks unlikely.
Ire penalty. Just outside NZ 25. Right in front. Sexton injured. No 9 kicking.
ABs scored 14 points in just 7 minutes…
Murray converts the penalty. 33-22.
