My favourite team try of the year so far in test rugby.

New Zealand's attacking shape seems quite simple, but guessing where the next pass is going isn't.

This try illustrates it well and the 3-2 shape they play off sideline rucks from wing to wing.

After 6 years of EK Rugby Analysis, thought now would be a good time for a new logo.

Will still be still be analysing rugby and drawing arrows - just wanted a logo that reflects that better😁

Here's a short analysis video looking back at a New Zealand lineout that was 100% last weekend.

This video focuses on the art of lineout calling, and using animation to create separation when trying to win clean ball.

Had to do a breakdown on this beauty of a lineout peel from Zebre.

Turn sound on 🔊 to hear how they made it happen.

No win, but this Ireland group can be very proud of the performance they put in.

A huge effort from the players to start the game as underdogs, and earn the right to finish it devastated with the loss.

Massive strides made these past 4 years and more to come.

In the final play, France win after a knock-on at the lineout 5 metres from their own line.

Heartbreak for Ireland, relief for France. It's going to take a while to calm down after this one.

Linda Djougang's engine is incredible.

A clever quick-tap move from France sees Escudero score. Bourgeois nails the conversion and the score is now 13-10 to Ireland.

Ireland also have a player in the bin, so will be under serious pressure for the next 9 minutes.

It's indication of just how strong that wind is that Ireland didn't kick any of their scrum penalties to touch.

Ireland winning so many penalties against this French scrum is not something I expected.

It's been a huge source of momentum for Ireland in this game so far. Djougang especially is causing so many problems.

What a defensive set from France to hold Ireland out with 14 players!

It's been all Ireland for the first 40 minutes, and they lead 13-0 at half-time.

Feels like France will have a wind advantage in the second 40 though. There's still a loong way to go.

From a scrum penalty won by Ireland, Dannah O'Brien slots a kick from 34 metres out.

Ireland now lead France 13-0 with 38 minutes gone.

Not going to lie, I've spent the last 5 minutes looking at Aoife Wafer's knee😅.

After limping for a while, it looks like she's getting back up to speed now.

Another try for Ireland! This time it's Stacey Flood who scores out wide.

Ireland have played the majority of the game in France's half and now lead 10-0 after 25 minutes.

I think Aoife Wafer's knee may be okay again😄. She's been everywhere in this opening 17 minutes.

Linda Djougang scores for Ireland!

After an earlier try was ruled out for a knock-on, Djougang drives over from a tap penalty.

Ireland lead 5-0 after 6 minutes.

A try straight off the training ground from New Zealand, identifying a potential weakness in South Africa's defence and then building a move to attack it.

Plenty of nice little details in the design here. Will we see NZ attack the same space again?

This was the backs coach's dream from Argentina.

The same call, two different options, two tries.

A little bit worrying to see Ireland continuing to kick when Japan are dropping 4 defenders to cover it every time. Need to adapt and run the ball there.

Almost conceded a try of it there and Canada punished Ireland quite a bit doing the same in the warm up game.

Absolutely massive intercept try from Eve Higgins.

A 14-point swing right there.
