Ireland and their provinces have been wiping players out outside the ruck for years, but NZ have got pinged off the park for it in this series

Going to start a counter for Irish back rowers going straight onto their hands at the breakdown when they're trying to slow it down and not getting pinged

They're getting away with the old trick of putting their hands beyond the ball and dragging it back as they get cleared.

NZ at the moment reminding me of Glasgow against the Irish provinces.

Trying to go wide before creating the space, and as a result giving up cheap turnovers through errors or lack of guys at the breakdown, and as a result giving up brilliant counter attack opportunities

f**k off, this "absorbing the tackle" is absolute pish.

He was never in a position to make a legal tackle, and he made an illegal one. That should be a red every time

Was just away to say the same. It's come up a couple of times in these tests, just feels like a mitigation they've made up to get the red count down

"We will change player behaviour by continuing to let them do exactly the same shit"
