Just do not have the final cutting edge.

It's been frantic stuff so far. Fitness is key.

Incredible effort in the first half. Took their eye off it for a second and conceded a try. Those are the margins.

All Blacks will get a bollocking at half time.
Getting away with murder from the refs again.

Coughing up the ball inches from the line was terrible. Not able to close opportunities is the problem , 7 occasions within 5 metres, 5 points is a dreadful return from such territorial dominance. NZ won't give them that possession and territory in the second half

Big worry here is in 15 mins time, Murray and POM come on.
There’s some amount of work being put in by the back rows so far.

They never showed how that happened, it would be interesting to see. You had hands on the ball, offsides, lads with hands on the floor on the side of ruck, lads on their knees. Any try from Ireland there would have been battling against huge odds.

Nah, the ball never moved more than 5 metres from the ruck. Usually easy to defend that

There's no way Ireland can keep up this pace.

Sexton gone for yet another HIA.
