D-Mac world class again ,I had the All Blacks winning and win well they did .No excuses Irish you got well beaten at Home .And we broke your 19 game winning streak which was formed by playing weaker teams anyway . The ALL blacks won the air battle ,line out battle and the try scoring battle .Breakdowns and line breaks .So if thats not a complete win what is .Mark you got it wrong .That does not surprise me though .

I keep saying it, but I just don’t understand the Jordie Barrett selection. He continually costs us big moments.

There's being objective, and there's being objective? Jeez oh, we won didn't we?

Gotta disagree with the Ratima analysis Mark. We identified Ratimas uncharacteristically slow play at the breakdown very early on. Also, his passes lacked their usual mustard. I think it's incorrect to lay that entirely at the feet of the fowards. Razor and Co seemed to see they same thing and pulled him at half-time where we saw an IMMEDIATE change w the injection of Roigards distribution and ruck clearance speed. He was hitting D-Mac with crsip and fast passes everytime. Also, the forwards didn't change till later in the match so if it was the forwards to blame, I would have expected to see the same issue occur with Roigard but it didnt. Just our 2-cents! Thanks for the vid!

CAM Roygard passing was a mirror image of Aaron Smith sharp accurate Razor got his number one halfback locked in now its Cam Roygard overall good game to watch well done ABs

A job for TMO should be to keep count of repeat offending after referring warning.

If you watch the Irish postmatch, Andy Farrell was having no excuses re first game cobwebs. He expects his lads to always step up. And he said they trained well. The Irish punters expected them to win comfortably. I detected some expectation in the green machine. It was billed in socials as a revenge match. Reiko was public enemy no 1. Their Union forced a very short turnaround to play on a Friday. Their analysts praised their lads, doubted DMaCs credentials as a proper game manager, believed they were going to pressure our lineout, and saw Aumua ias a weakness! Well, isnt thus why we love sport? And didnt they get a wakeup! Razors charges turned up, the scrum and setpiece fronted, DMaC showed a maturity his coach always knew was there, and the reserves made the requied lmpact in the final 30. It was a turgid and tight match. A real arm wrestle. But we should all be proud of Razors side. They did a proper job on Ireland. And the ABs broke the Aviva win record. Congrats boys. Kia kaha!

It's like the AB's leaned into a more NH style, minimizing expansive low-percentage plays and kicking points at every opportunity. That said, they took their try beautifully, kudos to D-Mac for managing the game masterfully!

Dude you a sad hater… Dmac was good and the ABs defence won them that game… Sad you can’t give any credit…

Congrats ABs 🎉

What a good performance and a great result for the AB's. Honestly, I never saw it coming. That said, I'm wondering whether this Ireland team has peaked and we've seen the best of them.

I am a die hard All Black fan since I can remember. I also did not give the ABS a chance against but I am happy that I was wrong. This win will do a lot for the confidence for the ABS looking ahead to the French. Well done boys. God bless you. 👏

Well done AB’s , congrats!

IRL fan here. Blunt, and fair analysis Mark. Matches the highlights i saw. Thank you for filling innthe gaps. Well done NZ. DMk was a beast off the tee.

jus thappy the ABs won , this is the turning point for New zealand and now only can get better

Fair play to New Zealand but Ireland were very poor.

What in the name of god was Frawley up to flinging a pass like that & Crowley dropping the ball when both times in good attacking positions..i hope prendergast is better than them

congrats on your team oz on winning side

Ratima was made to look bad by Irish lying all over the ball, not rolling away. Slowing it down so he couldn’t clear it, then counter-rucking. The Irish were penalised for this and it probably lost Ireland the match. But it kept the score close by preventing AB tries. Nic Berry warned them “one more time” and I’m going to a yellow card. But in second half it happened again, no yellow? Ireland was penalized 13 times, feels like Nic Berry was subconsciously giving Ireland home town advantage. Last week All Blacks were given a yellow card for repeatedly tackling players without the ball. This week Ireland get penalised repeatedly for cynical play, but no yellow. If we’re having yellows for professional fouls, then it should be codified like Basketball. TMO can keep count. Too hard for the ref to do it based on “feeling”. Nic Berry did a pretty good job. But rules are complicated! In summary Ratima had a rough run here. But he looks the goods. Roigard looked better when he came on, but Ireland cynical play reduced by that time. Both these halfbacks are great. And will get better with experience. There is a lot of upside for both of them in the future. Both offer more variety than Aaron Smith’s excellent, but predictable to rush defence, metronomic pass to No. 10!

I’m choosing to comment here as other channels are filled with gloating from supporters, which has become somewhat disrespectful toward Ireland-hurtful, really, to passionate Irish fans. Regarding the game itself, Ireland simply didn’t perform. This was the poorest display I’ve seen under Andy Farrell. New Zealand didn’t particularly shine either, and they’ll find areas to improve on, but Ireland was particularly disappointing: only 41% possession, 60% scrum success, 70% lineout wins, 13 penalties conceded, 30 missed tackles, and 21 handling errors. We couldn’t maintain possession long enough to mount a proper attack and often hindered our own efforts. I anticipated a tough game for Ireland; there’s been a pattern lately where we’ve lost the first game in both New Zealand and South Africa but managed to bounce back. Unfortunately, there’s no second test here to correct things. With three losses in the last five matches, Ireland needs to refocus on fundamentals. Conditions and some rust definitely played a role, but I still expected more from professionals in their craft. Congratulations to New Zealand-they earned that win and had to contend with the same conditions. It felt like a stop-start game, and something just seemed off. Maybe it was the lack of buildup or the absence of that “finale” atmosphere you’d expect from a clash between these two great rugby nations. From our perspective, it was our first game, but somehow, we weren't mentally prepared or ready. we had no intensity in my opinion and it felt just off.

Hi guys, Mark totally agree with u on Cortez but still in my view he is a good player ref also never protected him from being played without the ball on an occasion or 2! Nick Berry was very lenient with the Irish forwards slowing ABs ball on attack close to the try line/quick attack ball there should've been 1 or more yellows to the Irish forwards during the game. Rusty or not Mark i can take u back to the Irish tour of NZ same scenario just turned around a Rusty AB team going down 1-2 to Ireland.On that tour Ireland had 3 games on this Northern tour ABs only had 1 game! So no complaints we're in a professional era players and teams have to adapt. In my view 2 teams in world rugby currently at a disadvantage is Australia and NZ they have personal change and more player changes than most top tier nations, so in my opinion the Northern nations have club rugby and fit players currently. lets give Razor and co some credit here i listened to a comment Wayne Smith made not long ago about Razor's philosophy on playing style and Wayne said we won't play the style of Rugby dictated by the rest world we will play our own brand of rugby, so i can see this transformation coming on slowly and our bench players getting that confidence and the winning mentality back. If i look back at the build up of the Ireland vs ABs game very few pundits and fans gave the ABs a winning chance! So yes i do believe that the ABs had to go through this dip in world dominance of the game so that they can come back as the trend setting team of old again . Form players in abundance starting to appear Ofa T is my surprise player of the Northern tour so far! Lee Kiwi fan ❤ Cape Town

All xcuses for ireland.😂england came to nz to play ab's after finishing the 6 nations campaign and test against Japan, yet lost both tests to ab's who hadn't played a test before that😂 yet all blacks media told us were lucky to win😂.now they go to england and ireland and win both games but media still on abt rustiness etc for losing games against a poor ab's side😂bloody he'll ireland and england must b real poor at rugby thn if they lost to a poor performing ab's side.give credit wen credit dew.😊

Slowly but surely Razor is building his team, but his inside backs is not what I think we need to win the RWC in '27, With Leicester Fainga'anuku coming in 2026 him and Proctor should be competing for the 13 jersey. In my heart of hearts I believe Plummer will lead this team to glory (thats if Mo'unga does not return). We need beef in the 12 jersey,Razor should talk to Clarke and Levi Aumua about making the positional switch to Inside centre.

Mark, fair play. Give due where it's due. It's like ABs has great options elsewhere. Dmac was good last night.

Blacks still didn’t play that good, unforced errors for them as well, and the Irish didn’t make it easy. Still getting our shit together but it was better than last week at least. Irish half back is unbelievable, way better than ratima, but at least we got another learning game under the belt with a win

Why are the Northern Hemisphere teams celebrate good plays eg tackles or 50/22? Win the game first.

The men in black ran the gauntlet and all over the B&I isles left broken hearts wondering what people on that tiny ilands are eating. Forward pressure broken the Irish cohesion and forces mistakes. Razor is getting this purchase for bei g loyal to his players. DMac was solid as a rock and Mr Jordan does what he does best. The AB like terminator...... We are back!

Nah ..the less worst of the 2 teams won .😂 Still I am real happy with the ABs win .. Didn't call it tho ...

Best team won on the night but Ireland were absolutely terrible. Yes some of this was pressure from ABs but a lot of it was unforced errors that let ABs have the bulk of the possession and easy penalties.

The SA Bench would start for almost every other country.

How does the new law on the Crocodile roll influence the typical Springbok game?

Congrats Mark... the AB's back on form. Its always rough playing against Ireland. The Bokke need their best game tomorrow. Scotland are tough, hard and determined. No resting on laurels. Good rugby this weekend.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yeah for the AB vs Ire , congrats to them , their best game of the season when it matter most and secured SA no1 spot. I am not surprised by this selection given such a short turn around playing England and the wet conditions that leans toward a forward play type of game. Happy for Kwagga and glad Willie being shepherd to a well deserved 100.

Boks to win 35-12

You so cool....and brave. Springboks wins and losses forever.

Ostrich fillet steak kebabs to start Chicken thighlets stir fry T-bone steaks for mains with sides of ostrich sausage, and a salad of pork neck, and potatoes A great game of rugger, tremendous amount of history and respect 🫡 Many saffers, even the most staunch Bok supporters and oldest schools, all stem from Scottish connections, whether we like it or not😊 They will put up a do or die fight but alas, may crumble towards the end, with all the Boks might All the best to everyone, and yes Mark, you’re welcome for lunch ❤😅

A factor that could help the Scots is of course the Scottish weather! Scotland win by 3 due to a SA red card 😅

Well done to AB's cousins Respect 🇿🇦

Let me first eat humble pie. I HAD NO HOPE. JORDIE STARTED of bad then yellow & I thought TJOE, BUT WHEN HE CAME BACK HE SURPRISED ME. HE played well coming feom 10min. But I STILL THINK NZ NEDD A CONRAD S OR FRANK B. AT CENTER. CULLEN WERE BRILLIANT AT 15 BUT MESSED UP AT CENTER. ITS A KEY ONE.

Hey Mark 👋. How you my guy. Firstly congratulations to your'll for beating Ireland at home, without Beauden and Codie when pretty much everyone wrote your'll off to win that game... Secondly I gotta agree with you mate, I also can't see how Scotland can overcome our bench. We a very humble nation who doesn't like to write people off, but ja on paper this game looks over and done with for Scotland and the thing is the Springboks in that last quarter seems to play thier best rugby 🏉 since the new season kicked off... Yes Scotland is playing at home but we have too much fire power 🔋 for them, and just to think Pieter Steff coming off the bench. Wow!

Hello Mark Springbok team for Sunday! Very happy for Willie le Roux 98th game & Kwagga Smit 50th game! They deserve it! 7-1 bench is a surprise! No Manie Libbok or Cheslin Kolbe! Both are my favourites! Rassie has a plan! Scotland may give us a go! Awaiting your discussion of the match Monday! Go Bokke! 🎉🎉🎉 Regards Annette

Thanks, Mark always enjoy your show, being a South African I always support the South when playing the north,, very excited for this weekend.

I think the English forwards will have too much for Aus and will just rule the breakdown.

I'm going off topic as a Bok supporter. However, I just wanted to congratulate the ABs for beating Ireland. Social media streets were awfully quiet yesterday 😂

Damn cant wait already for next year Rassie vs Razor its on .Rassie without jacques nieaber against razor with his lientants .hopefully jacques can come back before 2026 ..The rivalry is well And alive and long may it continue .What a time to be alive ...Bokke coming for the Eden park Record.Dr Danie Craven rooting from above .for now lets go bokke and allblacks on the northern Hemisphere tour .NORTHERN HEMISPHERE now your lane these 2 is the real deal .lets go

Go Scotland!

Well done All Black's. Go Bokke

Scots , no chance , nz maybe, they meshed well deserved the win ,well done

Bullshit prediction

If there are no dubious cards to either side, it may be a close affair in the 1st half. For Scotland to stand any chance, they need to lead going into the 2nd half. It is also the Boks' 1st game, so they may take a while to get going. The Scots from Glasgow are also extremely fit.
