Wales v All Blacks
-
Rewatching. Ratima's early kicks shouldn't be called contestable if they are too inaccurate to be contested... CCs try on the back of a series of pick n gos that got the Welsh backpedaling. Simples. Right from the start DMac's zippier pass clearly evident. The minute he tries a dinky pass in close quarters we spill it.
Wales first try on the back of a poor kick reception. Quelle surprise

Love makes a great pickup at 17 mins and makes 50m on a touchfinder. A rare occurrence this season
He and DMac had some huge kicks, wonder if they might have been beneficial at a few points this year?

For a couple of minutes we get very narrow, according to Marshall it's 13 phases and CC storms over for the score. That's more like it. Not given after Kirifi knocks it on in the ruck. The way we set that up was very good though, I like the direct play. If the Welsh player was responsible for the knock on, would that have been a YC last weekend? Not that I want him to get a YC, but Cody got pinged for something similar

Very nice passage of play from the forwards at 51 mins, highlighted by a rampaging run from Samsoni and a massive clean from Parker, DMac with the cross kick (the right area of the field to try one) and Rieko scores in the corner.
Where has this narrow forward dominated play been all season?

@African-Monkey he's never been a big carrier (in terms of metres) despite his size, he usually tackles and hits rucks, but like other players, Razor seems to have how he wants players to play, seemingly away from thier natural strengths.

I thought the ref was fine
We've certainly had worse.
I didn't blow up at any of her calls in play, so am interested how our Welsh posters saw her given my lack of indignation.
She was bullied out of awarding Jordan's try though.
She'll do plenty more tests.

Same, and I felt like she realised she was wrong in awarding it in the first place.
