I've been an All Black supporter for 55 yrs. We have the utmost respect for Ireland. They are an absolute force to be reckoned with. Ireland rugby is consistently excellent. The All Black team is ready because they've had 2 hit outs including a massive one at Twickenham. Ireland is a step up from England in my opinion. These days we don't expect to win but we know we can win. I love Irish rugby and love to see them succeed. I'm looking forward to two World Class teams going at it in front of an amazing Irish crowd. Biggest game on the planet this week. Much love to Ireland from NZ.
@firmfoundation7421 Nonsense. We always expect to win. Always. It's in our rugby dna. I mean, the Home Unions have only won 16 tests versus the ABs from a combined total played of 152. SIXTEEN. To be fair, Ireland has always been there or thereabouts. It just took a bit of Kiwi, Saffa, & Aussie, to help get them there. Good on them.
“Your players have to get up for the New Zealand game, there's no two ways about it. There has to be fear in the back of your mind there that they will explode into action at some stage, and all the stuff they're trying and maybe not pulling off at the moment, it's going to click, and don't be the team that it clicks against.” This is true. I feel the click is coming.
Nz point of view we’ve been waiting over 100 years for Ireland to come to the big boy table finally but don’t get it twisted All Blacks vs South Africa are the biggest game no matter what’s on the line JS
Im thinking the All Blacks are for me the favorites for this match 😮. They have been playing together, they may have played their bad game,and they do create a lot of opportunities. If they play with discipline and dont drop ball they could do this and well. But Ireland are a very very good side
Thanks for that great technical run through of that drop goal play. That being said with the scrum going backwards and that an defence coming hard and pushing them back would there ever have been a good spot for a drop goal? Great podcast too! Setiti played most of his school boy rugby at center.
Comparing a test match to a high-pressure RWC match is a madness. But every 10 misses kicks due to pressure or not. If they didn't, they'd be at 100% kicking rate.
Let's not forget Roigard was blazing towards Ford, with a couple of other ABs behind him. He simply got a hospital pass and then wasn't given the time to do a proper kick. Hardly his fault he missed, it's a team game. Fault lies with everyone.
Without doubt, the guy plays like an extra centre half the time, positionally speaking, gives us an extra man in many situations. Nash has his skills but operates like a traditional winger.
Some Kiwis saying the Irish have replaced the Springboks as the All Blacks' main opposition is nice, but a load of bollocks! Irish rugby has a long history, but it is still new at the top levels. As the saying goes, "one night in a teepee doesn't make you an Indian." As much as one can respect Ireland's recent success, they must knock over the All Blacks consistently for another century to truly replace the Springboks! Our battles with Boks are beyond legend. My favourite rugby team of all time is the 1965 Springboks! It is so traumatising that it doesn't even make sense. Kiwis supporting the Boks and vice versa is confusing; it's the classic love-hate thing. Some Kiwis even name their kids after their favourite Springbok players - like current ABs15 captain Du Plessis Kirifi! As exciting as this weekend’s match is against a tough Irish team, smashing the Springboks will always be our top achievement!
Irish fan here - I think NZ will just sneak it. Game time under the belt and some classy runners - Tele'a could skin us on the wings. Hopefully I am wrong.
No Baudy reduces their attack a lot, sure their backline is world class and they will score tries but Ireland are marginally superior in every other area of the pitch. Add the difference in the replacements, home advantage and desire to get revenge for the QF and I'm feeling the game is 80/20 in our favour.
can't pick the winner from this one, haven't been able to for the last few years tbh, and i'm a hard AB's supporter . .but one thing will be sure it will be hard fought , and the winner will be deservedly so . .c'mon the AB's!
That’s their gameplan and has been since forever, to rely on timid referees who won’t penalise them. Cynical defence, lazy runners, flop over the rucks, then look astonished if the whistle blows.
What did we learn from the All Black and England game. The referee can be manipulated and this All Black team is still rebuilding with a shorage of x factor players, not the same quality of 20 years ago.
England fan expecting an Irish win. Not a lot between the teams so home advantage should be the key. Did feel like England that Ireland should off played a warm up game.
3rd why are you still banging on about the aura? Nobody in the South ever talks about it. Sounds to me like Ireland are waking up from a 100 yr submissive fantasy and blaming the dominatrix! There was only the aura that you and other northern teams bestowed on them If the aura is gone it's not because the AB's lost it's because you've finally grown out of your self imposed inferiority complex. Hallelujah! Ireland favourites for this and deservedly so. Bring it on and may the best team win!
Is their a A team for ab really well they were very lucky to win against England to think England only score one try compare to ab three tries and England almost won shit ab are shit and u think they are good u still living in past Ireland plays better rugby than AB
As an Ireland fan pains me to say it but we could beat All Blacks by 50 points on Friday night + what would it matter / they beat us in the only two games of real consequence in recent years, namely RWC QFs in 2019 + 2023. That's the reality + FFS spare me the "we only lost by 4 points" narrative as if some kind of badge of honour. Could have been 4 points or 40 points - we lost, again.

There's no way anyone should say "Ireland should win". That would imply we are strong favourites, and there's no way on earth we can think like that against the All Blacks.
@@RossoVerdeNero Why not? Ireland are ranked no.1 in the world and they're playing at home. If they were playing at Eden Park it might be different but these are exactly the kind of games the worlds best team should be winning.
@@stevenbissett No it doesn't. NZ would be expecting to win if we were over there and you wouldn't be saying they're arrogant. Ireland's record at home is incredible. Stop talking tripe.
@Camcolito New Zealand is always most vulnerable at home in the first game of the season. It's why we like to play teams like Fiji first up. To shake the rust off. Most Kiwis would admit to that. But if you think Ireland should beat the All Blacks, then that's your prerogative. I just think the comment was a bit cocky. It was the kind of comment I would expect from a pom.
From the country that left the urc and has lost a number of clubs to administration because of a weak league and who are now trying the rejoin, ya ye would know a lot about arrogance my friend not to even mention brexit 😂
I'm English and this is a ridiculous comment which you've unfortunately attached the English rose to. Ireland are number 1 side in the world for a reason and have been humble and class for ages. Apologies to Irish fans for some of our lot talking trash.
amazing to think englands defence is good? the all blacks scored 3 tries. The all blacks defence is no good? england only got one opportunistic try. Remove the ill discipline and the abs won by a land slide. But alas that was not how the game went. If abs click they take ireland easy, if they dont they lose, its close at the top.
Individual brilliance is seen as a trait in bad teams with a small number of good players. Rightly or wrongly it's the traditional view. Consistency is viewed as king in the NH.
@franksmith8364 it's almost as if they're saying a set play try is worth more than an "individual brilliance" try. Or more worthy. Yeah, nah, that's very weird.
Awwhh the troll moynihan,s back with his usual comments about NZ Shame his little Munster team just lost against a NZ C team.And he still has not recovered from Irelands loss to NZ in the World Cup.Hope his mommy and daddy will be close by,when Ireland lose to NZ again on Friday .😭😭😭😭😭😭

George Ford missed the penalty because of pressure. Both Jordie Barrett and Ritchie missed kicks in the RWC. That’s what pressure does.
1000% pressure can do crazy things to the best of them
Marcus Smith shanked 2 drop kicks in the same game. Can't pin the loss on Ford, it just happens.

Hansen is definitely ahead of Nash in the pecking order
Without doubt, the guy plays like an extra centre half the time, positionally speaking, gives us an extra man in many situations. Nash has his skills but operates like a traditional winger.
@SMacCuUladh Nash is a good player but Hansen offers more as an extra play maker.

Well it is our 4th sport lol we're doing alrite
Fair enough, we are fairly new to this level. I think Ireland have to knock out SA or NZ in a World Cup for the rivalry to go to a new level.
Irish fan here - I think NZ will just sneak it. Game time under the belt and some classy runners - Tele'a could skin us on the wings. Hopefully I am wrong.
Plus Will Jordan,Calib Clark😮. Oh and Wallace Satiti 🎉
2 tests in a row against a cold Ireland about to play their 1st is a big advantage
No Baudy reduces their attack a lot, sure their backline is world class and they will score tries but Ireland are marginally superior in every other area of the pitch. Add the difference in the replacements, home advantage and desire to get revenge for the QF and I'm feeling the game is 80/20 in our favour.

@@matthewashman1406 can you tie your shoelaces without any help?
My biggest concern is that Ireland is coming into this game cold, I would have liked it better if NZ were our third match of this series. Let’s see.
Massive game - 🥝 by 5 over 🍀
maybe but I think Ireland have the home and bench advantage and that'll make the difference.
Ireland going in having no game but NZ have played twice . I think that will cost Ireland last 10 mins and NZ by a score
6 day turnaround from a hard fought game against England, I'd imagine it'll be the other way around.
can't pick the winner from this one, haven't been able to for the last few years tbh, and i'm a hard AB's supporter . .but one thing will be sure it will be hard fought , and the winner will be deservedly so . .c'mon the AB's!
Marcus Smith should have stayed on for that kick.....
If the ABs can eliminate silly penalties, they are odds on favourites.

Jonny Sexton missed a sitter against the ABs in 2013 which would have put Ireland 2 scores ahead, pressure.
He was concussed

Have to agree with that, Ireland have a better kicker in FRAWLEY and prendercast but probably experience will disqualify them .
The goat is pollard, cometh the hour, he always steps up...
Randall could do with watching Murray's pass to Sexton in Paris 2018. That's how you set up a drop goal for your fly half
Beware, that wasn't All Blacks (A) team against England

Irish runners in attack will confuse nz and draw the same penalties England got
