Cane won that ball cleanly. Why blow for a penalty.

Beautiful try tbf. Barrett's gathering of the chip, riding the big hit, and then quick roll back presentation of the ball :clap:

Surprised at Lowe's hesitation there. Maybe he forgot which team he played for.

I maintain that ball presentation is massively overlooked these days.

That was his mistake then. Should have been a scrum to the Irish. Just hate when they blow for penalties when there is a clean turnover.

Yup. Clear on replay but not so in real time.

Nah. Went into the chest. Doesn’t stop Sexton getting his whinge on though.

I thought Aki whipped his head back himself half a second after the impact to try and emphasise it.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Yup we are seeing more play acting from players about head contact.

Good try Ire. And NZ's weakness defending the wide channels exposed again once there is quick ball. Even Ita exposed them there.

FFS. Half the team may as well have flopped out their old fellas and hit Aki with them as he ran through.

Irelands lineout is a liability
