Ireland vs New Zealand, 3rd Test: Teams & Build Up

First topic message reminder :

Predict the score of the game. We all know how close the Irish came last week, can they deliver a result to stamp themselves into the history books. Could New Zealand kick it up a gear and get there hat trick. Discuss.

Touchy, that could have been unreal

Cmon the Chiefs!!!

Rewound it 4 or 5 times during the conversion, it was lost forward.

Damn ato correct. Touhy

Disaster. Awful start.

If we don't waken up here we could ship a real hiding.

Just have applaud that. Wow

That's poetry.

So much for Emack's theory of the AB's won't attack.

Oh my word. That was unreal to be fair

Thanks Rodders

Oh bloody hell. Pleeeeease let's not have a drubbing.

Mon Ireland!

Turn it off Billy.

Theyve missed a few knock forwards but all too easy for the ABs

Ireland can't afford to do this habitual cold start they even do in Europe. Against the All Blacks you simply can't afford to even think of coming out cold

Why the flip do we think McFadden is going to win restarts against Gear?

How did Cruden get that pass away?

So can we blame Ferg for that? Considering how nearly all the tries in the first test weren't his fault.....

Shocking again. Panic button has been pushed already.

For the record, Wallace had to come in their cos sexton slipped off the tackle.

I fear normal service has been restored. Long night for Ireland.

Surely POM was there before it became a ruck??

Magic.

Not even 20mins in and Ireland have too much to do

Too easy. This is going to be painful I think.

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooo

Cruden , the new Dan Carter?

ABs hitting the ground quicker when tackled, going lower, good change from last week.

This could be literally any score for the All Blacks. As many as they want.

Shocking from Paddy Wallace there.

Tuohy and Paddt Wallace, that was feicing poor. No intensity nothing. Lads lookign for the plane home.

Morning friends, this is gonna be hard to watch

Oh dear

Game is gone after 20 minutes jesus

Scary thought but you are right. The AB's could esily cross the 50 mark.

NZ looking weak without Carter and McCaw.

I think the All Blacks are still pished off after last week....come on Ireland, keep trying.

WTF is that music in the background????

Ireland can play harder than this............. they're giving ABs free show-time. Time to at least show that they are there physically if not as a creative rugby side

Those were the tackles made last week that aren't being made tonight. Poor by Tuohy and Wallace.

Sure Paddys just arrived. It's nothing to do with the plane home.

Ireland definitely wound them up....

Ah come on, if we gave BOD a ball on that angle three metres out, you don't think we would score?
