I think you've got to give them credit for forcing the penalties.
And then once you get penalties for continuously going to the corner, at 7-10 down, they had a penalty that many sides might have just taken the three.
It was almost in front of the post, but they were rewarded for continually going to the corner.
And, you know, yeah, maybe the attack didn't always flow like it did for that try.
But I still thought there were very good passes of attacking rugby.
And I think also that the variety of tap plays close to the line was very good.
I think Ringrose's role in that try to release Conan for the slightly forwarding pass from Conan to Gibson Park was a lovely piece of skill from Ringrose.
He took the...
the pullback from Fernand high up over his right shoulder, brought it down one-handed, drew a defender and put Conan through the gap.
You could see how much that beautifully disguised short ball to Hugo Keenan meant to him, with Sam Prendergast running the lovely line at the back of the mostly Australian defence.
He fist-pumped Ringrose and turned.
I'm not sure if he's looking at Jorgensen or Suali.
with a very un-Ringrose-like celebration.
The other players are behind the post celebrating, and Ringrose is celebrating the fact that his pass opened them up.
So it was good to see Gary Ringrose having some attacking contributions like that, and it's going to be very interesting...
to see how the attack and the defense and all aspects of this Irish team evolve over the next two games.
Japan will be tricky.
And of course, the final game in Eden Park and the All Blacks Fortress, Arden will go there.
It's the third game of this tour.
It's going to be a very revealing tour.
