    Lol. They haven't had the super duper final haka warning yet.

    We should be further ahead. Hopefully it won't matter.

    Two years ago in Dublin we didn't put the foot down in front of the posts and paid for it in the end.

    Game will probably run a familiar tale

    Heroic by Ireland for large parts - New Zealand to grind it out

    First yellow card to go to an Irish player. Nailed on.

    It’s not their fault they are getting away with it so why wouldn’t they play on the edge.

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

    Nothing new from them, no yellow card from Barnes is a joke. NZ will be delighted with the score at half time.

    We have been brilliant . With a full strength team today we would be in much better position to see this out

    A try would have been nice though :)

    No doubt read is already pleading and cajoling them to wipe the slate clean for second half

    Infuriating behaviour

    Should be a further try ahead. We've been brilliant, but haven't took the most of our chances. No doubt the New Zealand onslaught will begin in earnest.

    Great first half from Ireland. But it means nothing when you play the AB's. They play until the 81st minute and only need a sniff to cut you open.

    I expect gaps to appear in the last 20-25 minutes as players begin to tire and they will be ruthlessly exploited. We absolutely need to be scoring tries if we are to have a chance. Massive 40 minutes coming up here.

    62% possession and only 3 points ahead. I don't think it's enough

    We're the better team in that half.... If we can match them for fitness, simplicity and aggression we can fall over the line here.

    No mistakes though.... Better off carrying into contact than trying a risky offload..

    Marmmion been excellent apart from the last poor kick.... Our second rows have been outstanding

    Van Der Flier and Healy probably our best players so far. Stander would be up there too.

    Actually no, Toner and Ryan are having stormed as well.

    Keep this up from the start of the second half and ABs will have someone in the bin.

    Stander has been brilliant but that was a horrible decision to try and pick and go down a blindside with a backpedalling scrum after the clock was dead.

    Our pack has been ridiculous. Best with some errors but his general play has been excellent. Ryan is outplaying Retallick. VDF is the best third choice player in the world. Stander is absolutely everywhere. Love how we're using POM and his handling skills in wider channels.

    Jaysus. The best 40 minutes Ireland have played under Schmidt? New Zealand are drowning?

    Shut up, lads. We're just 3 points ahead and they're the greatest sports team in the world.

    Is it just me or is Marmion very slow to some breakdowns and he is taking a slow motion step before every single pass from rucks?
    We would be much further ahead is Murray playing.

    One thing to take from the first half, Ireland have been over the line twice, New Zealand haven't been within 5 metres of our line.

    If Ireland can maintain this level, they'll win easily.

    NZ will tire.

    Tonga had a player sinbinned after 6 mins for one offence,NZ have committed 5/6,we should be well ahead and i think we'll die in last 15,Kearney(not just the try),is on borrowed time @15 just slows all down
