    That Ireland Scrum is a beast now, I remember the bad old days when we would be marched down the field against most teams.

    Ireland playing well .... but not enough subtlety for me.

    Might cost them in the second half.

    The amount of cheating by New Zealand is something to behold.

    The ball was nearly flying away from us. NZ offside. 8 conceded penalties by NZ now.

    Sexton is unhappy with Best's choice there.

    We've done brilliantly to go ahead, but now is the time where NZ are so dangerous. They're lethal at the end of the half.

    Imperative not to concede before half time now.

    Never really thought in my life I would write the following as a true sentence :

    The Irish forwards are better than the All Black forwards.

    Another poor kick by Sexton with advantage. That HAS to go into the one-goal area.

    It was about 1m short of the line. Going deep, you invite an offside as well as making it harder to gather a kick travelling away from you. Seriously harsh criticism.

    Best did well there to be fair to pick up the ball from the messy maul. Really really cynical stuff from NZ. Unfortunately i predict that they'll get to HT without a sinbin and then the second half will begin with a clean slate so to speak...

    Our back three in the air has been the most disappointing thing for me.

    Surely that was made for a scrum. Huge chance NZ would have picked up a sin bin.

    VdF is our third choice player out there. Incredible to think about it really.

    RTE commentating is hopelessly biased. Would turn over unfortunately all I can get is the Rte player.

    Sensible decision to take the points there.

    They'll get at least nine final warnings first.

    And then some final final warnings.

    New Zealand have cheated like ****.

    Hope Barnes remembers he gave them a final warning when the second half starts
