Wellington produces great backs.

So good, they even end up in the ABs loose forwards.

As an aside, quite like Evans commentary, gets into the tactical aspects of the game, seems to have a great eye for how the game is developing.

He's pretty fucking monotone though eh, I stopped hearing him after 30 minutes

Yeah he does tend to fade into the background to be fair... Probably prefer him after twilight hours, it's the ASMR for me.

Paps, great cleanout then solid tackle chasing the kick.

[Bones]

Now that's a midfield leader.

[WoodysRFC]

More great work from ENS there.

[Tim]

ENS. Lets go. Great work.

Made for Test rugby.

[sparky]

Some big second half performances here. Paps and ENS leading the charge.

[Bones]

JJ should change the gameplan to exclude Jacomb from every play and just let him kick goals.

[hikastags]

With ENS only extending in NZ by one year... he needs to be bought into the ABs as soon as he can

[Bones]

Credit to JJ, his subs have added a lot.

[OomPB]

BaaBaas drinking finally caught up on them. At least they gave the All Blacks XV a game

[Tim]

Professional foul and card?

I'd be tempted to play him against Wales.

Painful though this game is, hopefully it is a brutal reminder to EVERYONE involved in NZ Rugby, that if you don't front up physically in the forwards in international rugby, then you're utterly buggered.

Picking midget Locks was suicide.

Boks Twickenham 2023 ought to have taught that lesson.

[Bones]

Advantage fucking over Nic! Cockhole

[nostrildamus]

and this Dalton Papali'i fellow looks useful.

[Tim]

Another great cleanout from Paps.

It's so good watching an NZ team with a proper 7. Hits rucks, makes tackles, gets the odd turnover, and carries quite well.

Savea and Kirifi are so fucking bad at openside.

Such a pity our coach has a rare form of trisomy.

[Bones]

ENS player of the match, awarded by Evans.

Swap him with Jordan.

This is where Paps makes his point. He hasn’t behaved like a primadonna
