Re: Ireland Team for ABs
The biggest dividend will be confidence to every player in the Irish Depth Chart and beyond. We have genuine competition in almost every position and every Irish qualified player will look at the performances in his numbered shirt tonight and believe he could have been there and done the job, if they had the opportunity.

Having a good year in the AIL? This time next year Rodney you could be tossing a 30 yard pass with the game on the line vs New Zealand.Ruckedtobits wrote:The biggest dividend will be confidence to every player in the Irish Depth Chart and beyond.

Actually that photo is pretty encouraging from a Jordi Murphy pont of view....Oldschool wrote:Any chance you could post the other half of that photo.CiaranIrl wrote:

Things joe is likely to say: yeah andy some good things, but a world class defence coach doesn't celebrate giving up 4 tries

Do you think we could have done a bit more to help that violinist lads?

As I said in an earlier post his selection looks like a tactical move. It's not the direction I would go, I don't think.Laighin Break wrote:Against South Africa and against Munster this season, it seems that Jordi was given the job to tackle everything in sight and he did it very effectively. I'd imagine that's what he has been tasked with for tomorrow. Can't see us poaching much ball at rucktime though with him and Stander as the flankers.
All the selections point to a high accuracy, strangling gameplan. This idea we can stay in touch, then pit our bench against theirs and pull a late rabbit out of the hat runs pretty much contrary to the typical plan for beating NZ, especially the current hyper-fit version.
We proved the aggressive, positive, attacking template in the summer and we lost the series by going into our shells and getting defensive in test 2. Surely we could be building on that with a similar mindiet. It may still happen, but the personnel don't make the most of that mindset.
...a beautiful weighted pass...it is 3 on 2...it is 3 on 1...Hickie!...Magnificent!

'Grats to Ireland. I'm actually happy it was Ireland to break the streak, and in some style. When your team gets hammered like that you just have to admire it.

Must say the way those all blacks genuinely congratulated the Irish players at the end was high class. That side really are a credit to New Zealand. Dublin will be a fantastic occasion too and it's safe to assume there will be a response from your men.
Re: Ireland Team for ABs
Amazing. I was almost certain 2013 was just deja vu and it was happening all over again but the determination in the last 10 minutes is something I've never seen from an Ireland team before. As someone said on twitter... the best part about it was that we weren't perfect. There's so much more for Ireland and I can't wait.
Re: Ireland Team for ABs
on another note.. anyone know where i can download the game.. I don't have a dvr and I'm already itching for a rewatch!!
