Ireland vs All Blacks 1 November 2025

Great try Ireland.

They know how to put constructive phases together. Slick...and with 14 men.

Abs against it

Is this a 20 minute red?

Magic work by Fainga'anuku to open that up, beat one, kept two other busy, offload and there's plenty of numbers on the other end.

Yep, 20 minute red, then replacement on.

Cost to coast for the ABs!

Game on!!!

First Gibson Park mistake…he was money till that charge down

Back to even numbers as some unassuming office worker called Henderson comes on.

Osborne with a great take. Nothing hoist from Crowley surrenders possession.

Osborne wins the aerial battle again but AB wins one on the ground.

Fabulous GP kick

Ireland steals the lineout. They're competing for everything out there. Another super clearance by GP.

And with a chance to leave the score but go for the corner with a lineout...

Not bad, the Irish retain their 3 point lead after the red card time is over.

AB lineout creaking, skew throw again.

What a ball by GP over the top out wide.

Good buildup by Ireland but Crowley's kick makes for an anticlimactic end to it.

Jordan now with a great take.

Entertaining stuff now after that stuttering start.

What is for dis ref to stop pljay for kick not from precaais spot. Pljeese less wheestle blow ok ok?

Doris makes his presence felt straight away for a strong carry. McClosky almost gets the offload into space away.

That red card reminds me of Cane in the WC….no malice, just a reflex action in a tackle you weren’t expecting to make….utter nonsense.

Far to pedantic …the ref….almost every phase he finds something wrong

Waste of a free kick by Crowley, too deep. He's been pretty average.

That red card reminds me of Cane in the WC….no malice, just a reflex action in a tackle you weren’t expecting to make….utter nonsense.

Yep, shockingly poor judgement in fact.

Hehe, best spot tackle of the game comes after the whistle by O'Brien.

Half fizzling out now...feel like the last 30 will be good

So forearm to the head, nothing after we just had a red card. What a circus.

Lauaghable…that was much worse head contact.

"Far to pedantic …the ref….almost every phase he finds something wrong"

Frenchies

10-7 Ireland HT. Good contest, some entertaining rugby.

Is the ref French? Shit, he sounded almost Georgian or something to me.

How many players from Ab and Ireland would make the Bok squad?

I can't think of many.

He sounds French to me, I could be wrong

Nah he is French, just checked. Pierre Brousset.

How many players from Ab and Ireland would make the Bok squad?

JGP. Jordan. Ardie maybe.

Mils Muliaina also not impressed with the ref.

Cheers guys, enjoy the rest of the match...past my bedtime.

"JGP. Jordan. Ardie maybe."

Even if you double that number...it's crazy.

The Boks should be rolling all these teams

See ya Draad

Some of these hairstyles!!!

Nighty night Draad.
