    Rugby is a sport only played by a handful of nations, that is a fact.

    Can you hold over 100 countries in your hand?

    CJ Stander speaks: “It was tiring,” he says, in an accent I can’t quite place. Is he from Cork? Or one of the Standers from Kerry, perhaps? It’s difficult to tell. “But you can’t get tired with this noise behind you. We said we were going to work in this November series for the Six Nations and the World Cup.”

    England hurts..........

    Think that was down to the pressure the Irish defense had them under at times

    Ohh absolutely but still they normally don’t make those mistakes. Probably Reid’s worst ever game for NZ.

    The knock on after the charge down was crucial in this match.

    Backrow was awesome. VDF will probably still be tackling the NZ players at the airport tomorrow

    Toner and Ryan were just ridiculously good.

    Thought Marmion did exactly what he needs to do. Just be really really good at everything.

    Dont know why anyone is down about Joe leaving us.
    As he explained there, it is all down to everyone else but him.

    Against the Lions in the second test in 2017.

    That move for the try looked like a new move. McKenzie was way over the other side of the pitch and had a lot of ground to cover.

    Second Lions test. Before that was 12-12 draw with Australia in 2014 and before that, oddly, was an 18-18 draw with Australia in 2012.
