It looked like Scotland were down to 14

Can't beat ABs if you don't have aggressive defence.
They are compressed seemingly daring us to go wide. That last play it took one simple fast pass to get the overlap.

That's a seriously good first 40
7/10 for me. Mostly very good - looked a little static on their line a few times; aerial ball is still not great; field kicking a bit aimless (Roigard excepted); scrambled well in defence and generally looked slick with ball in hand. I think the opposition and ref suit our style of play. Cant be too disappointed with that though!

Yeah they're respecting the ABs way too much. I think Shaun Edwards was the one which cottoned on that if you kill the ABs space with intense rush defense we are nowhere near as dangerous. I think the NH figured this out around 2017 and obviously our results haven't been the same since.

Scotland did all the hard work getting to within 10m then either made the wrong call or weren’t accurate enough
Could have had two scores

Nice to see locks who look like locks, win lineout and do a ton of work around the park.
You can see why each coaching ticket gives Lord a chance. He has it all. The height, the workrate, the mullet, the moustache. I approve.

Could say NZ had three chances in the 22 they didn't take.
Score a reasonable reflection of the game.

DMAC would make hay out there.

All Blacks should win this 40+

Yep. Lacked a bit of finishing class and patience.
They do some things very well though. They are hard on the ball when it hits the deck and they scramble pretty well, but on attack they just need to be a bit more accurate.

Hopefully will in the last 20!
