Last time Ireland had a win against the all blacks it came off the back of a long season.. The kiwis were fatigued and the game meant nothing.. Expect a nz win today.. Sexton and Co won't have much hope.. |

Kiwis more fatigued this time having played in their bubble for ages. And this is a nothing game to them. Ireland with +9 is a decent punt |

It’s not. Depends on where a player decides to live and play for his club as a pro. He can’t play for Leinster and be expected to train with NZ! It works both ways. Many players did NZ have kit been born in NZ. Rugby is not a loss for it so what’s the problem? |

I said international rugby is a farce not just Irish international rugby in isolation.
Fair play to you though - you think some journey man player from a strong nation going to live a couple of years abroad and getting to play international rugby over some local guy isn’t a problem.

What you’re asking then should a pro rugby player not play for clubs like Munster Leinster, Toulon? They have to earn a living. It’s not practical to train with their home nation. The only other answer is too stop non born lads playing. I’ve no real issue with that as long as all countries do it. But don’t get too hung up on it, they are wearing the jerseys and I’m happy with that. Too many people hung up with nationalist views from many countries, load of nonsense. |

"Sexton getting battered as usual."
If he doesnt end up with dementia or something of that ilk later in life I'll be surprised.
Constantly battered his whole career and had so many concussion problems |

I do have an issue with it. I’d rather watch a team of lads with blood ties to my country than a team where a third of them are from New Zealand and South Africa. Each to their own though |

Is this all blacks team a bit under strength? Read elsewhere Ireland plus a couple of points was a good bet.
Ireland have dominated nz like Ive never seen before |

Hopefully after 3 wins against NZ this Irish team can stop looking at these types of victories as career defining.
Next step for Irish rugby is a decent World Cup performance.
That said great win. |

"Well let’s see how we do down in NZ for the 3 games after the 6 nations. "
Are you a New Zealander or something? We beat the #1 ranked team in the world today, and made them look ordinary for the bulk of the game. why not enjoy it instead of being a naysayer? |

I am Irish and delighted with there performance today and last weekend. We just need to back it up now going forward into the six nations next year and the summer tour to NZ. |

All the same with the amount of shite going on in the country....it's a great tonic to see a game like that
I don't even understand most of the rules to be honest but can appreciate the team,the actual game and especially the result |

Good performance against the be Puma's and a good six nations is all we can ask for. As it stands the brand of rugby they have adapted is looking promising.
Hopefully the province's go well in Europe . |

The forward pass when they went in for the disallowed try near the end was a very basic mistake for a player of that level but that's sport. |

"Anyone else hear who would love for their wife to be in she shower room helping the irish squad celebrate and then want her to go over to help the kiwis cheer up after the loss? "
Jazus I hope she doesn't get a box kick |
