I can't remember this game myself hence why I'm watching it. With all of these awesome players on the NZ side I'm hoping for a victory. 🇳🇿Go the AB's🇳🇿
Of the three games on this tour, this is the one that reflects best on the Irish team; All Blacks were coasting after a comfortable win the previous week, almost let one slip in the wet conditions. the following week was a 60-0 shutout, which showed the real gulf between the sides, and was the beginning of the end for Declan Kidney´s coaching tenure, which was finished of by a loss to Italy in the following year´s Six Nations.
The 60-0 was an historic low for Irish rugby, with numerous injuries and the players wrecked at the end of a 3-match tour and at the finish of a nearly endless World Cup season (plus the slog of northern hemisphere club rugby). It greatly exagerrated the gap between the sides. A year later was the famous 24-22 great escape by the ABs in the Aviva Stadium. I'd say at this time the overall gap in quality between the teams, all things considered, was 10-15 points.
@@decekfrokfr3mdx funny a team can lose by 60-0 and come up with a 10-15 point gap now between the two teams and the 24-22 was a famous win, for the All Blacks guess you can talk about that being close but I would had judged the maiden test win against the All Blacks in Chicago as a break through win, and wasn't that 24-22 win a come from behind with no time left on the game demonstrate we won't give up trying to achieve a win till the game is over. Those are always the most satisfying to win. We have had many Great escapes as you put it but the All Blacks has done that to many teams more than anyone else, if they weren't blown out scorelines wins or come from behind at the death. Maybe it was better for England to kick the ball out and settle for a 25-25 all draw and forget to go for the win.We were definitely not coming back from that one. Disappointing draw. I'd say the gap between the two Teams is 10-11 points based on how much Ireland won the two final test in NZ
@@ryansimms31 haha, think "smash" is a thing of the past. My 13 son has now seen (live) NZ beaten by Ireland twice... I know last year's ABs were knackered, but the myth has been broken. The Irish provinces are playing really well. Loads of youngsters pushing the old fella's to perform or retire.... Going to be a great series
@@EoinORiordan I think NZ will win the series 2-1 but the matches will be much narrower than they were in 2012. The provinces are in great form and the coaches are likely better aware of dangerous crusaders and blues players like Jordan and Ioane. Especially the Blues players, whose team will probably win SR this season.
@@EoinORiordan Exactly. It's also been the first time since 2010 that Ireland have played the Maori side. Should be very exciting with Farrell & Co fielding young and less experienced players for them. France lost the tour in Australia last year but became stronger for 2022's 6N because of the youth experimentation against the Wallabies.
I was there that night, came over to help with rebuild of CHCH from Ireland and made very welcome. Fantastic game that night, ice cold air and plenty of cold beer. Ireland left it behind themselves I think, but, some home town decisions by Nigel also did not help. Now back in Wellington and really looking forward to this year's 3 game series, roll on July 16th.
PLEASE All Blacks go back to this style of game: physical, aggressive, fun to watch. Current style, based on individuality, doesn't belong to the Black Jerseys' tradition
Interesting to watch as ABs approach semi finals in RWC 2023, with Ireland behind them😊 Interesting mix of older greats McCaw, Daggs, Carter with younger players forming the heart of the current team.
This tour will be totally different. Ireland know how to beat the All Blacks and regularly too. The Irish squad has some serious young quality in it and some really old experienced heads too. Let’s go IRELAND 🇮🇪 💪🏻
Regularly? You mean twice right? We will see. You're going to facing a fresh AB team, absolutely driven to wipe your team off of the pitch. Hope the Irish are at least competitive. That would be a huge plus. Good luck.
One other thing, just while I'm here. You got to understand the depth of players who have just come off a fast, highly skilled Super Rugby comp. There are absolute guns just chomping at the bit to run rings around your lot. Hard to select the positions due to the depth. Personally. I reckon your players have know idea what's about to be unleashed against them. You're going to have to play outta your skins.
Carter twice seems like he couldn't kick the skin off a rice pudding then provides the treats just in time for the hooter. Hitchcockian suspense and payoff my g, miss you xx
As an Irish fan, this should of been the game we made history on. So unbelievably close to win in NZ. Back then we'd never beaten the All Blacks, but know that we've beaten them 3 times i reckon this summer is the time for us to make history. Beat the All Blacks in their backyard
Certainly this was as competitive as pre-Schmidt Ireland ever looked. The pummeling they received a week later was a bit of a statement, which took a lot of the respectability away from this showing. The augurs for Ireland this summer are mixed: England (coached by Andy Farrell, Stuart Lancaster and Mike Catt at the time) came to NZ the year after this game, loaded with expectation following an emphatic home win over the AB´s the previous autumn; they eventually slumped to a three-nil series defeat (plus a fourth loss in Twickenham later that year), including a pretty one-sided contest in the third test. Similarly Wales and France both came up empty on tour there in subsequent years. Ireland´s record on tour down under is patchy at best; a hard-fought 2-1 series win against the worst-performing Australian team of modern times, a 1-2 series loss to a similarly underwhelming South Africa, a couple of of inconclusive Lions tours and some showpiece wins over the USA and Japan are all they have to show for their last several outings in the summer. The current NZ team are a shadow of previous All Black line-ups, and serious questions linger over the coaching ticket, so Ireland may fancy they´ve the momentum and consistency going into the series, however the intensity seen in some of the recent Super Rugby contests, the ascent of the long-dormant Blues (NZ´s largest province) and some of the sterner competition being offered by the Australian franchises suggest that the complacent, travel-soft and underpowered AB´s side that presented in Dublin last year will be a far cry from what Ireland encounter this summer. Let just hope there are no cricket scores in the offing this time, and we get a tight, competitive series that´s good value for all involved.
Ireland somehow threw this one away. Should have closed the game out at 19-16 up. I think they'll win one game in the series this year but it will be very difficult for them to win the series.

Takes us back to the first few matches of a lot of players who would become stars. This was the era of the cheap, skin tight, plastic jersey with the ‘peel and stick’ numbers that you wouldn’t use in a high school volleyball match. So much for professionalism. Forwards couldn’t bind properly. Entire jerseys got torn off, and numbers flapped in the breeze. But they saved money. Imagine re-living your career with a collection of that crap in your closet.
Man advantage for the last eight minutes. Missed the yellow card penalty kick. Could not keep short-handed ABs away from their goal line. Yeah, must have been the ref’s fault.
While I can’t stand unkind booing of the opposition which is never in anybody’s best interest, conversely the traditional silence of the crowd at games held in the republic are equally irrational and intolerable. Fans have a duty of respect no question, but a little noise intent to offset the opposition is expected by the players and is in no way offensive.

Was this before Rarotonga or after? Gotta be before.
Epic game
Is this the close game or the spanking?
The close one.
There should be a rule change that you stripping another player of the ball cannot result in a knock-on.
It can if you knock the ball on, before, during & after. Stripping the ball, just curious what law change you have in mind?... stripping ain't illegal
Where was Ma'a during this game
i was there it was as cold as nz gets
Irelands 12&13 are terrible in defence
Then the Irish got whacked 60-0 a week later in Hamilton.
