Highlights: New Zealand v Ireland First Test 

You obviously didn't see canes tackle on furlong, changed the momentum of the game, lifted NZ and shocked Ireland

@@joedennehy386 The one decent thing he did all night. Other than that he was found wanting.

@@joedennehy386 1 tackle?

Nah Ardie just needs to focus on his game, that’s when he’s most deadly..

I agree with a new captain just not sure Ardie is the one.

We stick together, go get em Welsh Boks.

Are you white

@@kimjongun269 are you yellow?

@@sakabula1285 lol you got me

Smash em Boks

Funnily enough I actively dislike that commentator for his forced over the top style of commentary ! !

@@theknowledge.6869 facts

@@theknowledge.6869 yeah me too, even that comment about running through puddles sounded rehearsed

Still my favourite ever commentary quip was, I think an Irish commentator during a Heineken Cup match, after one of the teams had just scored an outstanding try, said _"Its champaign rugby with extra bubbles!"_

Classic commentary, would pay to have his commentary for southern hemisphere games

Yeah looked like a fake cross-field then flicked the switch into a micro-short-fast grubber that killed the centres' rush defence. One of the best "plays" I've seen in years and perfect location on the pitch. Ball in that position on the pitch, they knew their options perfectly. Then the split backs scrum in the middle with big carry by number 8 was perfect: Spread 'em, then go down the middle, if they concentrate in the middle then spread fast ball. Teams should score in that context 8/10 times.

The one good kick he did all night. The rest were rubbish.

@@brucefale6132 Who?

He has that ex factor about him he stuck his hand out and prevented the Irish from scoring around the 20 min mark which probably would've made it 12-0 to Ireland a timely intercept.

@@Trajan2401 straight up. Bb was on fire. Sure his kicking was not a hundi but he was taking it into contact more often then usual - Awesome!. The tri's both him and aza help orgastrate was unreal. His over all game was on point. Thats why i was asking who? Some of us must of been watching something else.

great for New Zealand alright

@John Bob Fossett where are you from pal?

@John Bob Fossett what a BS response. No one is denying Ireland and their past world cup performances but to say they aren't worthy of being a tier 1 nation is ridiculous

@@ocodeskamcdbsm John doesn’t understand Rugby.

@@DavidSmith-yi8ou clearly.

100% I rate him the same Ardie has dominated the number 8 Jersey for the AB and no replacement good enough to challenge him in NZ currently. Player of the match today.

@@steveaustin7997 he is too small for 8 or 6 but a huge engine. A good 7. We accommodate for sam I am captain. We looked better with reserves on. Pita at 8. Dalton at 7 and ardie filled 6( ardie fills this role well(or 8) when opposition are tired). The defensive hole was 12,13 where the Irish found all their tries.will need Goodhue or Havilli back to plug that gap. Was good to see all black reserves bring back better again, haven't seen that in a while. Scott Barrett at 6 flies into rucks with his leading shoulder, another ref would've carded him, the look of guilty across his face. He doesn't look like changing his "send me off" style.

110% agree!

I wouldn't say best player my bro there's a few numbers in the all blacks like Aaron Smith you could class him as the best as well

@@oldblack15 Ardie can fill 6 7 or 8 size is irrelevant when you're a power house like Ardie my grandson looks like Ardie another reason why I rate him lol .👍👍

I have been over the new Zealand on a few Rugby tours when I was playing representative footy for Australia. Kiwis live and breathe it. They play harder then anyone else I ever played. And I have played all over Australia and England.

Which one? Both nations full of heart and fight

@@gheufbfff Must say growing up in NZ as a kid we started playing rugby at a very early age, I remember every break at school we would have a rugby ball in our hands playing or kicking goals or playing a game we call bullrush, which really helped with our rugby skills and determination to make it across the line. Just like a lot of the kids in England and different parts of the world have a soccer ball(football) glued to their feet.

@@tarzangoldblum567 Irish provincial sides mirror our own. Tribalism and respect for each other. New Zealanders are looked after over in Ireland. Remember the famous story the IRA held off their attacks because the All Blacks were in town. Munster still revels in their famous win over us Irish and Kiwis are mates.

@@gheufbfff 😊

Cheers brothers. Still behind you fellas in France 🇫🇷 😎

I dont think Ireland have anyone as reliable as Sexton. They will be screwed if hes out injured come WC

No worries coach lol

@@00Aroha be humble cuz

@@Horicantfish 😂😂

@@00Aroha was he wrong with his analysis? Seems pretty spot on 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

I didn’t think it was that entertaining, not long after 20 minutes it was clear who was going to win. Hopefully the next me will be closer. The AB’s are usually entertaining win or lose.

Yes they only missed 15 tackles out of 200.

I thought it was their ability to make individual breaks and trust themselves to score.

Not really…go to sleep I thought I told you to go to bed.

Doubt? There's been very low expectations from the Irish media going into the tour. Most optimistic say "if we could nick 1 one that'd be huge"

Was nt a backlash.A couple of oppertunistic tries relieved the presure. Abs only played better when they lead by 15 odd points

@@cruzerblack8789 first they need to play well to get that 15 point lead genius. It doesn't magically appear.

@@cruzerblack8789 ,Ireland were awarded two dodgy tries and nearly got a third but lucky for the replay it was overturned if that isn't 16 players on the field what is.

He could run across a puddle without making a mark

Keep in mind Ireland have been playing together before this game so there team chemistry is already on a roll where as this is All Blacks first game together.. so they are gonna have to adjust a lot against a more confident All blacks side the next few weeks

as ever a very humble and gracious Kiwi, why we prefer you to arrogant Aussies

i agree with ya helo but at lineout da all blacks jumped right across da line twice which resulted in turnovers so that's up to da ref to call that, those were two more building moments that could have made da scoreline closer but ya da all black's deserved da win overall, Ireland gifted two soft tries and got punished

Ok coach wanker

@@damienjackson9214 The missed passes were a result of pressure applied from NZ giving Ireland a taste of it's own medicine with "rush" defence. NZ contesting the set piece also resulted in turnover at Lineout & Scrum

What is it about the air in NZ?? The kiwis look superhuman again! As for Ireland: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Realy??

Not as feared as they once were.

@@reddog167 still kicking ass like we once we're.

@@reddog167 30-3

All blacks too elite

Kiwi commentators see no wrong with All Blacks. Any thuggery is deemed physical aggression

@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 Could be true but I'd just say the All Blacks have copped a lot of thuggery over the years in the name of "putting us off our game" or "making us uncomfortable". It goes both ways

@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 ,harden up this ain't soccer

when you look at INTL success in All forms of oval ball sport you have to ask yourself whats in the water in NZ ? answer- nothing- just one of the reasons NZ are so good.

@@kelbatt7729 ,and to think theyre also world champions in the second biggest sport in the world cricket and netball too not to mention other world cups like 7s and woman's rugby too also the Americas cup the holy grail of sailing these are just some of the world cups they have and I'm only talking about team sports not athletes..I think it has a lot to do with their psyche NZ always think they can win no matter what the sport they're very optimistic whereas other countries for example Ireland they're saying things like I'll be happy with one win etc etc NZ never think like that it's the wrong mindset even their hockey teams have been world champions before oh and they finished third per Capita at the last Olympics which shows you they have great athletes too.

By the way im predicting that the kiwis will win the world cup in October they have a very strong side at the moment and also think the Black ferns will retain the womans rugby world cup in October although England have a very strong side at the moment.

NZ had won the game in the first half mate. So no dropping off, just Ireland got hammered mate.

@@KiwiGraggle yep literally never mentioned dropping off in my comment good man

@@tyronegaa Yeah, from a Kiwi you guys were immense! As you said, just a rough end to the first half put it too far from reach

@@Nicolas-lg6ys Thanks for the humility Nicolas

As a kiwi . Small adjustments will make the contest even closer . The lose of Sexton early was a major blow . Our defense was immense.

What do you mean?

Let’s show the northern teams who runs rugby mate good luck against Wales🤝

@@Trajan2401 Different story over there though. Will be interesting.

We know you will gallant Ireland.

Yes and unbiased.I can't stand Pommy commentators when the Poms are playing.They get muted.

I can't stand our own NZ commentators. Some being ex All Blacks are unbearable whether we win or lose.

Same here.

"didn't go Ireland's way".....Lol !

Irish rugby is on the decline

@@grantpitkethley8638 Decline? When have they ever beaten the ABs in NZ? This is par for the course.

thats what I mean,Irish are rubbish at rugby..a few good years..but back to rubbish again.

@@grantpitkethley8638 won the series. Followed by grand slam

BB all day for me

Agree,I still dont know why they did not play him at 10 when they toured the North,he should always play 10.

So you agree, the 3rd Barrett not so good?!?!?

Thank god

The ABs have a good record in France too last year's loss is their only loss to France in the last 15 tests .

@@Trajan2401 we shall see

and wallabies

mate to be honest Ireland looked better with the ball, they had more cohesion and velocity in attack

@@stevenadams5153 England in the mud😂🤌🏽

@@jdb9388 shows the quality of the All Black side, that even when you're playing a good game, it's not good _enough_ lol

@@Enzey_ Are you watching the game? I turned it off soon as I saw Wallaby player snap his arm lol now Im just watching NZIRE highlights..over-and over again lol

They may have wanted it more but they are on a different skill level altogether, from an Irishman!

@@johnmc3862 In a way you’re right however, I like to think that it was more about not allowing Ireland to create history of beating the AB’s in three consecutive games in consecutive years. Historically and consistently every season, the AB’s have always had more W’s in the right hand column, rather than L’s. Points for and against is nothing short or phenomenal, on many occasions usually with less possession than their opponents. I truly believe but, I could be wrong, the AB’s have the best home and away record. At the end of the day, both sides would have gladly settled for a one point win and bragging rights. Ireland will come back strongly but, I expect the AB’s to have improved also.

He’s the Simon Mannering for the Ab’s lol

Should add that Coomes boys on the bench. Leave Carbury on to develop for your world cup.

That was the sky ones

@@shane-irish New Zealand have their own Sky

Exactly. Them NZ onez seem to think we can't see the game developing. They also like to take the place of the TMO. Be nice if they shut up at times. Them Irish ones on the other hand a pure class!..

SA haven't won at Eden park since 1937

@@Trajan2401 which kind of proves his point

Ja nee

We know its hard to win in new zealand dont need SA to tell us

@@shane-irish it’s hard to win in Nz hahahaha

You must be white

kim jong un, what has 'white' got to do with his statement?

It was apart from a ten minute period? New Zealand were the better team but the gulf isn’t as big as the scoreline suggests, actually if there was no breakaway try the momentum would of swung Ireland’s way, but credit to New Zealand for finishing every sniff of a chance during that period, that is why they are so good

Not really ireland had most off the game

@@shane-irish which game were you watching? 😂

@@FinnD777 you are joking? That's like saying we won except when we lost. You were 4 converted tries behind, that's as bad as it gets for a tier one nation

@@joedennehy386 It was 6 tries to 3, without the Reece steal 5-3 and all the times Ireland came close to scoring 4.

Bizarre comment

@@MrAuskiwi101 God defend NZ is our National Anthem, God is in control of everything. James 4:6 But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble."7 So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.

@@Christsfireignitors yep the national anthem is a national embarrassment. Your god only does things in your imagination. Thats how gods work.

yeah ABs only been in camp for 10 days...ABs should get better but you never know with Foster

You were right mate the all blacks were all lubed up and ready to go for that 2nd test

not so much NZ soil, just Eden Park. 28year winning record at The Fortress

@@cazhutchings6082 ,yes because Ireland have never won in NZ

It can be uttered again now. The defensive stats for this game speak for themselves. Can they maintain it consistently game to game is another question.

In the pro rugby era there is only one stat- the final score

@@kelbatt7729 in the pro rugby era? It's all that matters regardless of the era

Defence wins games. Need that on tap

@@St_AngusYoung yes - that's exactly what i was trying to say

Glad someone else noticed, the lad had some toe, had he been chasing down another fwd, done and dusted, Ireland was not short of effort, on any other day perhaps? good luck for the remaining games.

Nothing just improve bro 💯 💪 🙏

@@onosaiprime361 in our defence here in Ireland as much as we love rugby it is our 4th most played sport. First is the national obsession Gaelic football, then hurling and then soccer at the end is rugby and it WAS only seen as a game played by the wealthy Protestant elite in private schools . Us catholics traditionally never played it . Over the last 35 years or so this has changed dramatically but it’s still a small sport here . I presume your a proud New Zealander . The game is basically a religion down there and always has been

@@brendandevoy8178 fair enough but what about Wales though? I hear they are as rugby mad as us Kiwis.

Actually in law the ref cannot stop the game after getting in the way .....strange as it may seem!

@@decko20009 ,true the ref isn't obliged to move Sowakula knew that and took advantage the ABs are a clever side too

this is why using the 'it was just our B' team' excuse doesnt cut it as in the match vs the Maori allblacks . WC squads are 31 not 15 or 23. Every player counts for this very reason to cover injuries and covid replacements

@@Skybar23 exactly the distance between the first XV and the rest is too big

True. Ireland need their second tier players to improve if they are going to keep up their standards

Didnt fell apart played well all game v all blacks ref and tmo

You are right. Ireland can't go with out him. Hope he will be there the next game.

......😉

Carisbrook was the Oridginal House Of Pain.

@@willymacdonald7535 Yep. I remember that. Good history there, but unfortunately Carisbrook is no longer. Eden Park's record of 28 Years without loss is certainly deserving of continuing the Title.

Gotta give Ardie some credit bro, Schmidt can't coach that

Defensive beast. That's why

I’m with you, it’s a mystery and if you’re talking defensive beast then he was a distant second to Luke Jacobson at the Chiefs

You don't need a reason. As long as the coaches see a reason and he performs to the expectation of those reasons.

@@davidhewitt126 defensive maybe, beast no way! He tackles them but never wins the tackle contest. His impact in the ruck has always been average and I think we can all say his skills on attack is shithouse..
