ABs putting Ireland to the sword there. Ireland only really looking dangerous when NZ were down to 14. AB defense shut down any platform from Ireland and they couldn’t figure out how to unlock, despite a massive amount of ball. James lowe though, he’s so good
I think that’s similar to the England game - their only try came from an opportunist intercept they weren’t able to break down the ABs defence. Same story today, Ireland’s only try comes with the ABs down to 14 and space out wide, and its wasn’t particularly creative, just folding right into space until the try came.
Lowe was great, but Hansen & Keenan were basically anonymous. Ringrose really didn’t do much either - I guess it comes down a bit to the ABs chocking Ireland of possession too but of the Irish back three the workmate was well down in comparison to the ABs.
