The best hit of the night from Ireland was on Poite in the run up to that try.

Declan Kidney should be ashamed at how he's gone this year. He decided to forgo bringing through the next generation in favour of going for ranking for the next WC. Had a disaster of a 6Ns and now his selection has lead to an embarrassing destruction at the hands of the ABs. His tactics and...

Other than knowing there was such a big discussion, on here during the week about his selection, I wouldn't have known Timani was on the pitch from watching the game.

I'm very worried that Deccie couldn't tell that his selection would allow NZ to bash it up and play on offloading game, when someone like myself with a little knowledge and a lot of passion could see it.

Stuff like that is why Irish fans always groan when we seen Poite is the ref. It's not going to decide the game as NZ have already done that.

Terrible first half by Ireland. Came into the game a little towards the end of the half but still made silly errors at crucial times. The damage was done early in the half. Cruden was excellent from NZ before he went off. Kane probably their best player and Richie has gone well. SBW took his...

Real pity for Cruden with that injury, hope it's not too serious.

Kane is having a great game. The scrum is the one thing that Ireland have gotten right tonight.

Hat trick of tries caused by Paddy Wallace. Don't see any need for him being in the team when we have two centres playing on the wing, one of whom plays with BOD regularly at Leinster.

I take absolutely no pleasure in having predicted a battering for my team. It really does hurt to see how this game is going. But the side selected was just asking to run over. Paddy Wallace has been a great servant to Ireland but he can't tackle to save his life. The only way he can take...

Well work try by NZ, thought the ball went forward a couple of times during the move, but they were marginal. Ireland need to hit back quickly or it's Test 1 all over again.

I think Pocock learned the lesson the hard way against Scotland. That's the best way for me as it's harder to forget. Pocock would be right up there for me as, not only player of the series, but player of the June window.

Really nervous now that kick off is so close. Can't shake the feeling of dread that we're going to get a real thumping. How that feeling is wrong and we at least make it a contest for the full 80. At the very least expect NZ to be much improved from last week.

3 Pocock 2 Barnes 1 Sharpe

If I were you'd I'd be in my sister's ear about getting divorced before the rugby championship lol.

Well done Aus on 3-0 in the series. For me this was the closest the Welsh came as they were with you all through the 80 minutes. Hopefully the players who performed aren't forgotten when TRC comes around. Wales need to go back to picking on form.

Dennis has been very good since he's come on.

That would have been a try if the ball stayed in play. But the shape of the ball is what makes our game so exciting in those situations.

Another bad scrum from Aus. Those who came off the bench will probably get slated because Joubert has decided to start giving pens at the scrum now. But in reality Wales have been on top in the scrum all game, with the exception of the one just before.

He got that when Rees hit him in the eye with the ball on a lineout.
