    It's maybe the tallest achievement in the history of Irish rugby. For the first time since 1994, somebody has defeated New Zealand in a home test series, and boy did Ireland do it in style- Time to break down just how they opened them up, and look into what is wrong with the All Blacks...

    It's a bizarre feeling being Irish these days. Despite the successes we had with Schmidt, I always felt like they were moments away from disaster. The incredibly specific gameplans he had seemed difficult to execute and all it takes is one or two players not sticking to the plan and it could all crumble down. On the other hand, this team under Farrell look really comfortable. Even if we go 10 points down I have faith that the team have a legitimate chance to retake the lead. Maybe there's a growing impact of a positive mindset from the past 8/9 years too.

      @@elscruffomcscruffy8371 ….Yeah, settle down there tigger, entitlement is purely a projection you’re placing on the AB’s and NZers in general. The top tier 1 teams induce an exhilarating sense of potential foreboding because in NZ, you’re literally marinaded in the idea that no one can predict what 15 men can achieve against 15 on the day. The AB’s success comes from a deserved sense of urgency and fear of defeat, as opposed to some imagined entitlement and arrogance.
      The experience the Namibian team had during the 2015 RWC sums the the AB’s up best. They were invited to the AB’s changing rooms for a couple of post match beers and were surprised to discover they were very humble and soft spoken, genuinely interested in the Namibians as fellow players and not at all what you’re trying to portray. Whatever reasons these assertions are made is for yourself to work out but, they don’t match up with genuine Kiwis although we do have an ugly supporters element living in NZ, whose loyalties lie elsewhere, yet like to think they can talk smack on public formats as if they are Kiwis at heart.

    You might be amused by the Peter O’Mahony montage on the second podcast broadcast after this match.
    He is now my favourite Munster player. Everything he did on this tour made me love him more, sledging, tackling, kicking, crying, running around on the night out with the chicken thief. It’s all brilliant. He’s brilliant. I’ve never felt this blissed out after watching a gam e of rugby so sorry for babbling. Wow!

    Incredible analysis, editing, and humour in this video Squidge, but it's really no surprise at this stage. You've really set a new standard of what a post game breakdown in Rugby can be, and it's so refreshing.
    The level at which you can understand the game, and then break it down to an average fan is second to none. It doesn’t go unnoticed. The amount of knowledge it takes to have this ability is outstanding.
    Gone are the days of retired players turned pundits / journalists being the only voice in world rugby, and long may it continue.
    Please keep doing what you're doing,
    From a very appreciative Irish fan!

    Excellent analysis of the series as always; the way you pick apart Ireland’s phenomenal attack plan makes so much sense, and your ability to isolate those small moments (like Beirne breaking those mauls) really takes it to the next level.
    One thing that I appreciated here was your segment on Beauden Barrett; I think the guy gets way too much heat for not being a “good kicker” and not being creative enough with his distribution. I thought he did the best he could with his options and was one of the best defensively for the ABs as well, honestly I didn’t see much improvement when Mo’unga came on, and Barrett’s running game and defence outweighs Mo’unga’s stepping (useless against an organised defence), distribution (useless without a proper attack), or kicking (Jordie Barrett can kick goals just as well, and as shown here Beauden’s kicking from hand isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be).

I believe it's not just that the players are different, it's that the style hasn't adapted to suit them. Throw in the fact that rugby in NZ is going the way of Football in the US, where it's only played by a small minority of obsessive players whose power and speed perpetuate a cycle of decreased player uptake due to fear of injury, and this is what you get. Rather bleak future I think... (can you tell I'm just a wee bit invested haha)

    As an ABs fan I can only agree with your assessment that their game plans are stale and predictable and their execution lazy. Will their egos allow them to accept that and do something about it before the World Cup? Unlikely.
    Ireland winning the next RWC would be fantastic for the game and for Ireland. However I fear they may be only one or two injuries away from an early exit.

      Saffa here. I think the big issue with you guys currently is that you've been spoiled with two generations of the greatest ever. You had these f***n incredible players just rolling off some kind of Super Secret Kiwi Assembly line: Carter, McCaw, Nonu, Dagg, Woodcock, Mealamu, Collins, Howlett, Rokocoko, Reid, Marshall, Kelleher, Gear, Mauger etc etc etc
      And you still have a hell of a team, but I think they aren't as magical as before. It's like you've played the last twenty years with these superhumans and now forces to go back to mere mortals.
      That being said, I'm sure that whatever the hell there is in the water in NZ is going to serve up the next all conquering side.

      Even without injuries, they'll face NZ or France in the QF, thanks to World Rugby's ludicrous grouping policy. No shock whichever way that game goes.

      @mags7054 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Hamish Banish totally agree with you, like in the last world cup, All Blacks vs Springboks, there were 11 scrums, almost all were penalties against the ABs, but none were given except for the last 1 or 2. That's about 9 penalties/free kicks, some will have been a 3 points and some will have given territory. People should try to be subjective when talking about the All Blacks dominance. There were many games they should have lost but won due to the refs; and although the ABs would probably have still been the number 1 team in rugby for that time, they would not have had that kind of dominance and aura of being near impossible to beat.

      Joe did not believe the Irish skillset was good enough to play this rugby, obviously he was wrong, Andy on the other hand has injected the self belief into everyone on the team that they are indeed good enough and rebuilt a very dejected Ireland into a very polished very easy on the eyes rugby team that have the belief that they are as good as anybody. That there is the real change as was proven in the last test. Ireland of old would have choked. They now have truly got that duck off their backs. They may not win every game, but they will be a force to recon with.
