This weekend's clash between the All Blacks and Ireland is set to be a heart-stopping match, with both teams needing to step onto the field without the weight of past encounters. Forgetting previous games and treating this as a fresh challenge will be crucial for both sides. In a game like this, raw skill won’t be enough-the team that plays with true heart and passion will have the edge. Taking on Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin is no easy feat. The Irish crowd, coupled with the stirring power of "Ireland's Call," will create a charged atmosphere that will test the All Blacks from the start. For the All Blacks, this is an opportunity to dig deep, meet the intensity of the Irish on home turf, and prove their resilience. For Ireland, playing at home could give them the fire they need to stand tall against the All Blacks. This is bound to be a battle of grit, pride, and heart, and whichever team brings that extra level of determination will likely walk off as the victors.
ABs look like they'd be better balanced with Finau @6, Ardie @7 & Sititi @8 with Barrett & Tuipulotu (ahead of Vaai) in the 2nd row & Roigard @9 ahead of Ratima. Lakai's the future #7.
There was 3 clear overlaps during the game and Reiko Ioane either knocked it on or didn't pass when the chance was on, just like the last coaching regime when are they ever going to learn that he's not a centre? It boggles the mind that our midfield is always out of sync, yet they continue with the same combo. How about play Reiko back at left wing considering Caleb always whacks at the ball and gets binned. Just don't get it.
