Go Wales go

Hold on mate you meant a tip tackle you say, but yoou said it was similar to Davies tackle in the 6N!

Mate you make Nick Clegg sound clear and true to his word. Back under your bridge!

For test 2 NZ are an unbackable 1/40 - with Ireland at 12/1 to win with the draw at 50/1 or you can have NZ at 10/11 -23 points to win.

When I see the team Kidney selects and if it satisfies my thinking I'm having some of that 12/1 and 50/1...

I meant tip tackle. He lifts him off the ground and then slams him down

GoWalesGo - impossible to be a spear tackle when he didn't even go past the horizontal, read the rule book my friend.

dont even try to deny healy's talent as a prop at his age, he makes as many indisciplined calls as most, the AB's are awesome but you have to be able to appreciate that Ireland have a world class team on paper, that is the frustration of being an Irish fan, the Welsh and Kiwis are being disrespectful at this stage. Surely the Welsh have to be able to see that Ireland has the potential to be dominant in Europe alongside France (when they show up), so please dont be so smug, as on a club stage the Irish are rampant.

@rangdaddy - "20 minutes of chest beating that petters out to a whimper." - what are you on about? ireland has always been a side with a lack of confidence, you would better hope it stays like that or the AB's would definitely be in for a shock.

I hope that Ireland don't lose any front line players. The AB's need Ireland to front up and provide a much sterner test than last Saturday if we (the players of course;) ) are to be mentally prepared for the upcoming and Championship. These type of walk in the park victories will not stand us in good stead for the likes of the brutal Argentina forwards nor the aggressive Boks.

who cares, won't make a difference - Ireland need to play their best rugby ever to beat the All Blacks and the AB's must play horribly too even give Ireland a sniff. Ireland are too predictable - 20 minutes of chest beating that petters out to a whimper. AB's by at least 20 - you would hope the Irish would be better because the AB's will be.

It's only good news if you stand a realistic chance of winning a test...in this series Ireland really don't have a hope...

Yep thought Healy is fortunate on two counts this weekend. His borderline thuggery went unchallenged and he is cleared from injury... although the last laugh will be on the AB's as he is likely to be chasing shadows again this weekend.

@kiwiire02 don't feed the trolls. Nobody can outdo the Welsh for spear tackling.

kiwieire02

Really? The one i'm thinking of looked nothing like Savea's. He lifts him high into the air and then drops him to the ground, similar to Bradley Davies in the 6 nations.

kiwieire02 says...

What spear tackle? I only saw a good hard tackle like savea's on Kearney.

Should be cited for spear tackle on Sonny Bill and forearm on McCaw
