DM to 15 and WJ to wing

Ohhh that was nasty. I hope he’s ok

There was a study that does the rounds that shows it’s normally the tackler that gets concussed, not the tacklee.

Head on hips, head on knee etc.

Makes a mockery of the card culture.

Agree, but his technique let him down. At least the cards dissuade bad/reckless technique (in theory)

[KiwiMurph]

Very cluttered with ball in hand

That strengthens the back three anyway. Hope Reece is OK though

@Kruse yes.

Chur bro - that was the simple answer I was looking for.
And gambled on. Have done second round of parboiling potatoes for half-time chips.
And fuck apps. My problem was that my FloRugby app told me this game was happening, with some very useful tips around what time it was in my own timezone, but I don't trust anybody around timezones and shit. That seems like it might be a me thing.

[Darth Sader]

We’re not taking the high ball well thus far

[ACT Crusader]

Spacing off and guys getting in the way

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent kick.

[taniwharugby]

@Darth-Sader or chasing.

Seems a bit robotic, oh I must pass to a forward before.contact.

[antipodean]

Doesn't look good when a lock is inaccurate with the clean and can't dislodge a winger.

[ACT Crusader]

This snake ruck stuff is taking the proverbial.

[Jet]

Beaudy just kicking away the pill.

[antipodean]

We're not attracting defenders before popping the ball to stationary players.

[Victor Meldrew]

Very rusty so far. Expected I guess

[Darth Sader]

France defensive line shaped very well against us so far. We’ll have to get the right mix of kicking and tight channel ball in hand to break them down

[NTA]

Monster kick

[Jet]

Lads getting ball and man simultaneously in midfield.

[KiwiMurph]

Something not talked about enough is how poor NZ players are under the high ball in general.

Not exactly Dagg and Jane

[ACT Crusader]

The ball seems to holding up in the air as every high kick has been misread for both distance and timing.
