Ireland are, and have been for a while, really sharp at the breakdown. Outstanding turnover technique/ability. Bloody frustrating when you're on the receiving end of it.

Probably didn't hurt them that you spent the majority of the game with only 2 back row on the pitch.

Yeah, you see comments from journalists that completely ignore that fact. Ireland played well that second half but it is a big jump to say they would have definitely won 15 on 15.Puja wrote:Probably didn't hurt them that you spent the majority of the game with only 2 back row on the pitch.

I do think NZ are lacking coherence in attack though. Some player changes would help (agree about getting Jordan on but wouldn't even think about dropping Smith), but it seems a strategy thing as much as anything. Ireland have a much more identifiable attacking style (as do England - though I wouldn't be copying that one!).

For sure, but it’s not a one off.Puja wrote:Probably didn't hurt them that you spent the majority of the game with only 2 back row on the pitch.
