Ya needs to get a couple of carries and settle into it.

Not sure how that last one came forward off him, looked like maybe just slipped out of his hands as he was trying to pass it.

Poor miss by Maori though

Agreed. One of those, I thought Earls defended really well, they got beyond him and were forced to kick.

stephen_n

Not sure Aki actually went at the ball there.

This is poor from Ireland. Zero need for the ill discipline in these conditions, just defend and they'll knock it on within a few phases.

Ah Timoney

clsmooth

Lots of penalties given away. Wonder if there’s an element of playing Barnes after what he allowed LAR away with in the Champions Cup Final. Should be a yellow warning for us soon if this keeps up.

leakyboots

Or maybe Bundee was cleverly obstructed?

testtech05

Great try

leakyboots

Their FB is giving JOB a bit of a lesson in fullback play, having a great game

starkid

why the **** take a quick throw if thats what you are going to do.

He has an absolute cannon of a left boot too

cuttingtimber22

Family have Munster connections

leakyboots

Awful mixup with Larmour and JOB. It looked to me like JOB called for a ball he was never going to get

cuttingtimber22

Has Barnes been a bit harsh at breakdown against us? Two penalties and then warning against competing.

SaoPaulo41

This could get very messy for Ireland

leakyboots

Powerful scrum there by the Maori

Fair enough, but he's getting isolated all the time it seems.

They seem to have an extra man outside every single time

Soups123

Barnes is giving everything against us, fcuking hate being the away team when he’s involved as homer a ref as you’ll ever get

AdamD

He's not blowing for them at all around the ruck, the turnover after Caseys snipe looked illegal.

Quin_Dub

Penalties are absolutely killing Ireland

leakyboots

Poor fare from us, some words needed at half time

Some of them look a bit harsh alright, including the last one on Treadwell there he was pinned in and the ball was still available it looked like.

Another try. Need halftime at this stage.

Mr Clever

Woeful stuff, embarrassing

Shehal

We just have no foothold whatsoever in the game, bar afew minutes in the lead up to the try we are just getting the ball and immediately kicking it away as we havent much option.

starkid

far too many average players in this side. looks like we have a depth problem still. we are a few injuries away from disaster

fitz

Pack have been disappointing, penalties and Maori ruck speed is killing us.

SaoPaulo41

Awful awful, Jimmy o Brien and Earls get them off.

Former Former Former

This is getting ugly

AdamD

What is Earls at there?

SaoPaulo41

Such aimless kicking by O Brien
