Ireland vs All Blacks 1 November 2025

Late night game, might stay awake for the whole thing if it's good.

My girlfriend say the NZ anthem sounds like a child learning to talk...

"Goo goo ga ga ma ga boo"

That's a club warning for your girlfriend, Plum. The only anthem we are allowed to make fun of is that gay flower one from Scotland, everything else is racism.

Camera angle in this game is going to take some getting used to.

Ireland making a few early errors.

Oh FFS another TMO check on an absolute nothing incident. Yeah it's high contact but what could the defender have done? He was watching the scrummie and then braced himself for impact as he suddenly found Beauden in his face.

Head on head from All Black 5 on Ireland 9, check that too and waste 5 more minutes.

Scottie B off...

That's a problem for the ABs

My word, how many times do they have to see this foul???

And now the TMO is completely overreacting.

All the NFL types in Soldier Field must be wondering what the fuss is about with Barrett

Ridiculous card. Could have been play on and not all this time wasted.

You back Moz?

Ireland eat a yellow

I thought for a second I dialed into the wrong game.

Anyway, who you okes backing.

I'll be sticking with New Zealand

Ireland hand their day

I don't really have a dog in this fight, KC.

Great clearance by GP.

Clarke with a nice break but couldn't get the pass to his own bloke. Obstruction helped him get through though. Kickable penalty Ireland.

Ireland with a chance to put 3 on the board.

NZ looking rusty

3-0 Ireland. Stadium is packed, damn.

3-0 Ireland

NZ have yet to stop looking rusty this season.

GP with another fine clearance.

Ambitious cross kick by Crowley drifts into touch.

Wow, NZ run the ball...after the Bok game I thought backline play wasn't a thing anymore

Red card. Fuck this, utter bullshit. At least it's only 20 minutes, and this is why we need the 20 minute red card. Because the officials are fucking retards.

Oh...no are they upgrading the yellow to red...

Game ruined!!!

Who the hell makes these calls!!!

Fcked up.

If Ireland can hold the ABs to 14 points in the next 20 minutes...they could still win

Any official giving a red card for that situation is a complete idiot with no ability to apply any manner of intelligent reasoning.

Jordie down and it looks bad.

That knee is swelling and blue already.

At this speed this game is going to run until 1am over here.

My word, Jodie is up and looks like he'll carry on

Ireland rumbling, beating plenty of tackles. All Blacks already starting with their cynical shit at the breakdowns.

Hopefully Jordie doesn't make whatever it is worse by carrying on.

Park is such an accurate kicker and good decision maker. He's so good for them

He's off now.

Jodie leaves the field

Ireland over a man down. Fast ball is where it's at when you're close and they kept up the pace there. GP doesn't fuck around.

Great play Ireland….these lads know how to pass and offload
