    That Ben Smith - Dagg - Fifita interplay was beautiful.

      Great to see Dagg running with so much confidence.

      Yup that was great play.

      ALB is so fucking good - Conrad like the way he takes messy ball, keeps the momentum and puts away his outside with a perfectly timed pass. Love it.

        ALB's passing is so good, even when he's got no time

          Is it just me or has Ardie Savea had a really active game? Seems to me that he's been in everything in the right and loose?

            Brodie is now captain. So does that mean that Cane is no longer seen as the future captain?

              @Hooroo Yeah he's been busy. I think playing wider suits him more.

              Sam Cane is a joy to watch on defence.

                    scrum going backwards with reserves is a bit of a concern

                        I think they are giving a wide section of the leadership group a taste of captaincy. Cane has that experience already.

                                I hate to say this but this is the first time I truly remember under Hansens reign that the subs have made the game a bit tired looking. (As we score again dammit)

                                  And the understatement of the evening goes to

                                  "The All Blacks threatening the offside line there"

                                  Tsunaming it would be more apt.

                                    Nisbo wrongly claiming Ardie was an apprentice in 2015.

                                    Good steal Fifita.

                                      Who are the players most likely to be replaced and do you want your long term captain to be one? Front rowers all pretty much get replaced, plus one lock, plus (unless you have a McAwesome Kenworth of an engine) your openside. Maybe Cane isn't the long term choice of a Captain if you do have an Ardie like good impact replacement after 55-60 mins.

                                          Poor Samoa, they were actually very good for large parts of the first half. 66-0 after 72mins is pretty demoralising stuff.
