Very well deserved win though they got in their own way repeatedly and made it so much harder for themselves. There’s a serious lack of leadership out there in the backline, sexton has zero control and you can see, there’s no composure. He played it better when he was up against 15. Will be a hell of a game 3, I expect a massive backlash from NZ so it’s imperative Ireland show up and don’t just get their tummies tickled. I’d like to see Ryan and Lowe dropped, Ryan has been in poor form for a while and was actually going well but his discipline was shocking. Lowe was just an absolute mess. Game 3 is huge for NZ, I wonder if Ireland win well or even at all will they show Foster the door? He’s not a favourite by any means.
