[How bad boy]

Terrible Ireland couldn't take advantage of 13 men.

Abysmal return from a first half where Ireland have had a serious numerical advantage for much of it

Aside from the obvious, Ireland should be 3 tries ahead.

Now only 3 points up and the Kiwis have the momentum.

This could get ugly.

Shades of the Italy match in the 6 nations earlier this year

10-7 to Ireland. A great start and totally dominated things. The performance since the cards came has been absolutley pathetic.
This team can’t play against 14 men, it’s like Twickenham, they take a crash ball up and drop up, they worked space and dropped it.
James Ryan gave away 3 or 4 completely needless penalties all whilst NZ were down to 14 or 13 men, last one culminated in a yellow as it was so blatant even though there was no team warning (yellow was right). I wouldn’t let the fucker back out for the second half.

Incredible scoreline. ABs always play so close to illegal, often crossing the line. And often with thuggery too. Ireland atrocious with 2 player advantage.

 

[nelly sham]

Says a lot that NZ are still favourites to win this game.

Quinlan feeling sorry for the guy that got the red too. What a sap.

If Ireland lose this game there’ll be hell to pay.

Stevie Wonder to ref 3rd Test

Would see more than that Saffer Incompetent

Always on the cards with him, aside from player safety watch the ABs at the breakdown, always one in the side, they were pinged once for tackling past the ruck but have always been at it
