THIS WEEK’S GUEST
FULL TIME TAKES
Gavin Hegarty
Sometimes we love rugby because it’s not simple, but sometimes this backfires.
Pass to Barrett is forward, so he’s offside and not in play, therefore technically he’s obstructing beirne. How this was deemed a yellow baffles me, a red makes me lose faith.
Ireland simply weren’t good enough but my god the quality of officiating was dire.
Tommy O’Brien held back and then deemed to have knocked on, madness.
We can’t be this bad again but world rugby need to do something to get better refs
Cormac Mannion
What exactly do Goodman and O’Connell offer as coaches? Zero line breaks and multiple lineout turnovers tonight. Not the first time either. Our lineout has been muck for several years
Yvonne Dowd
Shit!! Red card?? ‘Dangerous tackle’??
Christy O’Connor
Some serious questions to be asked. Lineout has been poor since the last world cup and NZ were missing 2 of their locks.
Crowley made some poor decisions in the 2nd half but I’d still have him ahead of Sam for the moment. Red card was ridiculous, Beirne was standing still, so how can they say a high degree of danger
Lorcán Murphy
Do we need a change of lineout coach? And does Andy have the balls to ditch POC? It hasn’t functioned the past 2 years and is a key component of our attack. No lineout, no attack
Brian Connell
Ireland … dare I say it … undercooked??
Pearse O Donnell
Ireland were dazzled by the All Black’s footwork.
Those fluorescent boots would frighten the living shīte out of any opponent.
A masterstroke from Razor.🤣🤣
