    I said after the lions 2017 farce I partially fell out of love with the sport.

    After the first 10 mins of the second half, the completion is nearly there.

    If you can’t celebrate a try until the ball is kicked off to restart the match, how can you generate any excitement.

    Game is lost.

    @MajorPom Have you seen what TMOs (called VAR) have done to soccer recently? It's even worse in that code.

      A good performance according to Jeff Wilson and Mils.

      One amateur era player and the guy who got replaced by Dagg cause he can't catch a high ball? Lucky we have those two rugby geniuses on our TVs

      Bro, Wilson was an AB legend. One of our greatest ever wingers. Terrible pundit however.

        @kpkanz That said, we've missed Cam Roigard today. I'm not convinced by either of the ABs half back this afternoon.

        Christie is complete trash. But Ratima is somehow worse.

        Roigard is a top 2 halfback in the world. Chasm between them.

        He's a 5th string choice at best. Good thing is he actually tries his guts out unlike some we could mention.

          @KiwiMurph LRZ is one of the few shining lights in this current Wales squad. Has tremendous feet and balance.

            On the match itself, fairly expected. Wales jumpy and excited but not good enough to win over 80. LRZ brilliant.

            We had an eye on summer already and it showed.

              DMac and Caleb Clarke the pick of the ABs IMHO.

              Clarkes defence was exposed on several occasions. His running game was superb though.

              Good battle on that side Clarke vs LRZ

              LRZ is world class, I'd take him for the AB's in a heartbeat.

                Norwegian Football league club teams and fans voted to get rid of VAR.
                The national union over ruled them.

                This is not what sport is supposed to be about.

                  One of the biggest issues NZ rugby has is amateur era fluff bunnies who have too much riding on their relationships with current players. Its terrible for the sport

                        She said it was grounded.

                        Should be end of story no?

                        Unless he showed her a knock on or foul play in build up.

                        Instead they had a contradicting narrative. He says held up ,she says grounded. We cant carry on like this.

                                Well that was a tough watch at times but at least we gave it a lash.
                                LRZ is our standout operator, shame he's stuck out on the wing.
                                NZ too quick and powerful for Wales to cope with, shame to see Reece getting on the score sheet - I'd rather have lost by more without him getting over the line.

                                    He may have a future at centre but my guess is that they will be hesitant to move him whilst he continues to show this form.

                                        @MajorPom said in Wales v All Blacks:

                                        They are allowed to review after the conversion now.

                                          My biggest gripe is how much time these interventions are takin, slowing the game down and therefore removing the fatigue factor.

                                          They need to limit the time the TMO has on try rulings. 90 second to show conclusive evidence to overturn the ref's call or the on-field decision stands.
