At some point you have to say Reiko has spilt the ball/turned over/over run/ not passed too many times to keep him there. Every game it seems like another crucial moment is lost due to one of his individual errors.

Ex-All Black accuses Ireland player of 'disgusting' antics against Argentina

Any penalty for head contact should see the affected player leave the field immediately for an HIA. You can't have it both ways. Either the rule is there to protect players or it's not.

I’m liking what I see from Aus.

New Zealand should have held on to Joe.

Agreed. In my mind they’re the most inproved team this year. Competing where they were this time last year.

I think they’re developing nicely. If Joe could do it with Ireland he can do it with Australia.

They have the uncanny ability to only play 90% as well as the team they are playing. If they play a worse team they reduce how well they play, play a better team they increase, but always to 90% of the team they are playing rather than their own ability.

Had they played as well against Australia or NZ as they did against SA they would have won both games comfortably.

Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part. But I rate Joe Schmidt highly and I think with the athletes at his disposal (of which Australia has plenty) and a bit of time to develop his talent pool - Australia could be power by 2027.

I think he is where Rassie was in 2017 with the boks and I think, with the right draw, could get to a World Cup final.

Typical newzealand blame the ref blame the tmo God you are the biggest wingers in sport the self entitlement can't you just accept you are not the best go back to dreaming

No they certainly shouldn't. They lost to SA x 2, Argentina and to France. Although Ireland lost to NZ in Dublin (and lost a LOT of points over it) the last match we played was an away win in SA and during the year beat France away by 21 points.

Can you guys please go to the rankings and quote the calculation rule you actually disagree with? This is starting to look very very stupid. Surely genuine NZ supporters are smarter than this?

JESUS: THEY DO REFLECT THE HOME/AWAY ADVANTAGE BY ADDING 3 RANKING POINTS TO THE HOME TEAMS RANKING TOTAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF THAT MACTH CALCULATION.

CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE CHECK HOW THE RANKINGS ARE CALCULATED BEFORE HITTING US WITH THIS UTTER BS?

Kiwis Winger's again blame the ref blame the tmo when it comes to whingeing if there was a world cup you would win it and always be top of the rankings you were lucky to beat England Ireland never turned up and France demolished you go have a good sulk or find a sheep

Ireland won in France by 21 points, NZ lost by 1 point after a terrible French 1st half. NZ lost x 2 in SA and Ireland was 1-1. NZ lost to Argentina, Ireland beat Argentina.

If you guys could just quote the Ranking calculation rule that you think is conspiring with the TMOs against poor old NZ, that would be helpful. You lot do need to get over the '22 series annihilation by Ireland. I am sure you 'Global Superstars' and 'Humble Heroes' will get the reassurance your confused ego needs soon. Thoughts and prayers!

Re Bizarre: If you actually look at how the rankings are calculated your befuddledness might disappear. You get awarded points for winning and deducted points for losing.

The points total is the culmination of the history of these win/losses. You will recall that NZ lost this year to SA x 2 and to ARG x 1.

Can you guys just look at how the calculations happen before the conspiracy implications start getting farted out?

NZ do not get overcredited for one game albeit a convincing win against Ireland. Likewise Ireland don't get overpunished. The same rules apply to them as everyone else.

Ireland lost narrowly to NZ in the RWC but the points total was doubled and the loss was worth 4-5 points. Ireland came back from being well back in third to get ahead of the rankings again even with the PREDICTION that we would be 3rd in 6 nations.

Ireland got a total of 0.2 points for beating a good Argentina team.

England and France have to play in Dublin. Wait and see. The NZ result could have been a blessing in disguise for Ireland. Farrell chose to play the team that lost on Pretoria rather than the younger team that won in Durban.

PTSD has to be nailed on. The other Saffas also excellent and would be worthy winners if PTSD wasn't in the running.
