Damn that Beauden Barrett intercept could have changed the whole trajectory of the game. Great awareness that the man with the ball was safely covered.

Talk about watching the whole game. U my man saw that save by BB. That was a try. 14-0 Mounga lacks that on the International stage... good comment G.

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I just love Justin Marshall as a commentator. His excitement and passion for the game is contagious. That first Ireland try is a great example of it, he's just stoked to see brilliant rugby on display.

[@seanyshepfit]

As an Irish person I was very impressed with his NZ/IRL commentary in Dublin.

[@charlesray9674]

🙄 The match was very entertaining. I had to tune out the commentary because too much talking distracts from the match. I can see the hard knocks and tackles, and even feel them. Having someone tell me how hard those tackles were.... I guess I'm trying listen to the referee's instructions and the banter between the players to appreciate the commentators flowering descriptions.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

@@sollyharr As a non-New Zealander, I find the rest of your commentator squad far worse than him. So partisan that they will say anything rather than admit a fault on the part of the AB's.

[@TJ543345]

Ardie Savea is unreal. He has the pace and skill of a back, and a relentless work-rate. I was debating to myself whether Julian or Ardie has been more valuable to the ABs. Probably Julian, since he was unstoppable for so many years, but you could make an argument for either brother. Great performance by the ABs today. Disciplined, composed, and creative in attack, which had been lacking recently

[@Kama_lefagaoalii]

I’ll choose ardie over his bro anyday

[@lachhind1760]

wingers don't win matches, ardies a leader and is one of the best in rucks and defence

[@jonnybaynham1689]

Julian played in a ridiculous ABs team. I'd love to have seen Ardie in there, say at 6.

[@Samoa_mo_Samoa-1962]

I was in your shoes once. It was around 2019 that I made up my mind, and trust me I was the biggest Julz fan, the sheer power of the guy was unbelievable and he dominated for quite some time - 5 years in rugby is eternity. But 2019 Ardie and ever since, he's just been pure class at every showing. It's not just his skills and rugby IQ, or his speed and power, it's his sheer will and determination against the odds, always pumping his legs as he's been known to do. Ardie any day for me

Beauden Barret's intercept changed the game from a certain try for Ireland to an eventual try for AB: a 14 point turnaround. Psychology spun here and Ireland tried to press the game: never goes well against the ABs when that happens. A couple of moments here and there , ref giving play a different take and Ireland could have had a shock result (just like England did)..looks promising for World Cup...the more teams that are competitive the better the spectacle. My money is on France, if they get the right ref on the day... Great play by NZ, to take their chances and kill a game that they could have lost
