Great game. Incredibly hard though, not sure rugby can continue like this indefinitely.

Yeah I think you're right, just reading James Gaskells book and the rigours of the games and training and effects on players who've now retired is terrible.

The book btw is a bit shit, Haskell and his colleagues come across as 80s style testosterone fueled, macho man dinosaurs.

Nice touch with Tom Youngs raising the trophy aloft with Ellis Genge.

Maori All Blacks v Ireland on Sky Action just now. Quality is insane.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

All Blacks v Ireland about to start. This might be a bit good.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Started well gone downhill quickly since
Tactics not great seem to be trying to take All Blacks on in a shoot out.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think you made them angry

Seriously Eddie Jones needs sacking the moment the final whistle goes he’s turned this England side into an absolute mess

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

FFS. Referee might as well have worn a Springbok shirt the whole game.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Unlucky for Wales there to loose it at the last, dipped in and out of the game whilst working so didn't see the full game, but theres no shame running the Boks that close at home.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We were excellent and had the game in our hands but a couple of errors, a couple of decisions, being reduced to 12 men, all contributed

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ireland have decided to risk making the All Blacks angry again.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This is a red

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fucking joke giving a yellow there. Sending off all day long.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And this should be a penalty try

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fucking hell. No wonder New Zealand win so many matches when they get every single decision.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Finally Peyper grows a pair. Red card for New Zealand

 

[Donegal Wolf]

We are goign to fuck this up after all that domination and Pieper missing the penalty try.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This is ONE HELL OF A GAME. Absolutely incredible try-saving tap tackle by the Ireland number 8.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yellow card for Ireland can't be far away for persistent infringement.
