All Blacks vs Ireland 2026 Live Chat

Hugo Keenan is in after some sustained attacking play by Ireland. Much better from them.

Pretendergast nails the difficult conversion and it's 35-21.

Pretender slots the conversion...

Excellent 5 minutes from him!

35-21 ABs

Keenan over in the corner, well worked by Ireland.

Caleb Clarke makes a great bust but is brought down . . . ABs still have it . . . now Moorby . . . now Segner . . . they're just short . . . Barret throws a hospital pass wide but ABs retain it . . . Segner again . . . Clarke again . . . Roigard . . . Jordan . . . still just short . . . great defence by Ireland . . . Jordie knocks on and it's a penalty to Ireland. Really good defence.

Terrific defense by Ireland through a long sequence of possession for the Abs. Prenny misses touch with the penalty and ABs can go again.

Uh-oh . . . Ratima on for Roigard . . . this could change things.

Was just thinking when last one could say "Barrett" during an AB game and not have to specify which one.

Some frenetic end-to-end play until Jordan clears to touch.

Geez I don't think Jordan allowed Frawley to release there, lucky penalty.

Ref penalises ABs after missing a clear forward pass.

Bloody phone died

ALB is in. That's it. 40-21 with just 2 mins left on the clock.

Well done All Blacks.

The offload gets the try, Jordan drawing two and releasing ALB. Mistake from Balou getting drawn in there.

ABs in yet again

5 tries and score goes beyond 40

Ireland well and truly battered.

So, the Boks play the ABs four times on the tour.

Is it possible that we could play them a 5th time in the Nations final? Not sure how it works and if that's even possible.

ABs are going to be a stiff test for the Boks, especially if Wallace Sititi finds his form again and if they find a half decent second scrummie.

ABs looking strong

See you for the Bok game lads

Great performance by the All Blacks, that's a solid, dominant win.

I watched at the pub / good commentary fellas

"Good morning Plummie, so by the way. It's been balls to the wall hey

Sorry, I missed this Paks.

Often when I make a post the ones you've made are way up there on the thread.
