Paddy Wallace was a lucky man that Stephen Jones missed that last minute kick in the 2009 Grand Slam match. He’d have been the scapegoat (or escape goat as TJ Reid called it).

A great rule change allowing these players play for their home country. Hopefully Super Rugny helps keep the islanders in their own country

You just can’t give New Zealand any gifts. Ireland gifted them 3 tries in a few minutes shortly before half time.
That New Zealand pack isn’t too hectic. Lot of fellows there in their 30’s and very long in the tooth. Ireland were well on top up front for first half hour but didn’t reflect it on scoreboard. The Ireland backline is distinctly average with a serious lack of pace.
What did this finish?
They could defend a bit harder there
36 0 to fiji
Carbery like a turnstile there.
HUP OUTTA THAT

Would they not push him out to the wing and have ringrose there? That close to the line
Sorry, the Irish game
6-2 now in soccer parlance.

A hammering
Surely a sin bin for a New Zealand player is warranted here.
Still going
I’m sure the anti Rubby crew will be fair in their assessment and remain consistent in their view
The goal line drop out instead of 5m scrum is a cod of a rule

Bundee has been good tonight
New Zealand aren’t even that good
And the Ireland crowd go wild 
. The gap is down to 24. Embarrassing stuff
I’m happy that only for a 10 minute period in first half Oireland would have won …
