Ireland currently 22-3 up against the All Blacks at half-time. It’d be an incredible achievement if they get the series win over there.
 
All Blacks pushing hard now. 3 points behind going into the last 20 minutes. If Ireland let this slip, they'll be gutted. Very few visiting sides win a series down there.
 
Get in there Ireland

Crazy some of the players are still young doing it in New Zealand just shows the job that the management have done. We still need to kick on good luck to all of the other teams today let this be a domino effect. Its strange Irish rugby has done a great job at grassroots levels if only our football team would do the same.
 
Unbelievable what Farrell has built on top of the Schmidt era. We need to sustain this for the next year as we’ve historically peaked the year before World cups & then flopped.
 
Quite a remarkable time for Rugby Union. Last weekend the Six Nations teams beat all the Rugby Championship teams away.

I'm guessing that was a first.

Congratulations to Ireland and I hope their good run and the other Six Nations teams (apart from maybe the French...) continues into the World Cup.

Superb win and well merited. For 2 and a half tests, they were blowing the ABs away.

Foster was the wrong choice for New Zealand - they don't play with an identity at the moment and have too many good players for these results.
 
Brilliant from Ireland. It would have been easy for heads to drop when Sexton’s penalty hit the bar and All Blacks scored a minute later. Great fighting spirit and skill from the Irish.
 
3 minutes before half time and subbed. What a fucking shambles of a coaching decision that is. He shouldn't have started (JVP is quicker at the ruck and better at kicking) but have the decency to wait until half time

If the team needs changing then the 37th minute is better than half time. Still very poor team selection though

Well, JVP was instrumental in the Steward try so fair enough but it's a bad look for a coach.

He needs to either play to Smith's strengths or take him off - massive liability in defence

Smith was brave as a lion but not a match for the Aussie big hitters. We have to play though more phases so we don’t ha d over the majority of possession
 
Some solid defence in that last 10 - big turnovers by Billy, Lawes and Cowan-Dickie. Considering he was a twat in the first game, Hill has been very very good last 2.
