All Blacks v Ireland: Where Dave Rennie’s men must improve for Eden Park

TVNZ2026-07-12T04:11:00.000Z

Another overhyped buildup to a pathetic performance. Rennie's a good coach but he can't polish a turd. The forwards are soft as butter, no physicality. Italy? Come on. Irelands gonna smash 'em at Eden Park like always.

TVNZ2026-07-12T04:35:00.000Z

as butter! Exactly. Need some mongrel in the pack.

Chloe Martin2026-07-12T04:36:00.000Z

yeah nah, we beat France and Italy. That's not the standard. If we can't bully Ireland up front it's gonna be another long night. Front row is still a worry.

Sam North2026-07-12T04:55:00.000Z

FFS here we go again with the doom and gloom. We won 30 points, what more do you want? Rennie's only had a few weeks. Give it a rest.

Sam North2026-07-12T05:23:00.000Z

nah, we'll smash 'em at home. Just watch.

Zoe King2026-07-12T05:08:00.000Z

lol love the optimism. 'Heavily weakened France' is the new 'we were unlucky'. Ireland are gonna run rings round us if we can't get quick ball.

Zoe King2026-07-12T05:49:00.000Z

harder. Ireland are the real deal.

Chloe Martin2026-07-12T05:51:00.000Z

quick ball is everything. Rennie needs to sort the ruck.

Jack Morrison2026-07-12T05:51:00.000Z

Mate it's not about the opposition, it's about the patterns. Rennie's system will work once the players get it. Give it time.

Jack Morrison2026-07-12T06:42:00.000Z

patterns only work if the lads deliver under pressure. Still not convinced.

Kai Thompson2026-07-12T06:17:00.000Z

30 points is a solid win no matter who's against you. The doomsayers just love to complain. Go have a cry somewhere else.

Jamie Fox2026-07-12T06:32:00.000Z

Honestly just want a good game. Hope the ABs fire up. Would be nice to see some offloads stick for once.

Jamie Fox2026-07-12T07:26:00.000Z

love some offloads but Ireland's defence is relentless. Gotta earn it.

Hana Stewart2026-07-12T06:45:00.000Z

If we can't stop their maul then it's over. Simple. Ireland will bully us like last year.

Hana Stewart2026-07-12T07:40:00.000Z

defence is key. If we can't stop that we're doomed.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-12T06:54:00.000Z

Can't wait to read all the hot takes after they lose. 'Rebuilding year' incoming.
