AB's v Wales

[chimoaus]

Imagine how well we would do if we held onto the ball more......

[JC]

@kiwiinmelb yeah ref said he was dragged over the line. Why does that matter, so long as he’s in possession?

[Tregaskis]

That was religious devotion to scoring a try there. Much needed.

[westcoastie]

I wonder is Sopoaga coming on would be perfect today... Highlanders 8-9-10

[booboo]

Fuck

[Stargazer]

Damn, that's a good try for Wales.

[JC]

Lovely try from Wales

[Unite]

Great try Wales

Why need TMO?

So Barnes can have more screen time...

I am bagging Barnes plenty today, but christ man. Let the game flow you unfit flog.

[Crash]

Fuck the wrong midfielder went off, shoulda been SBW, am afraid he's more of a hindrance to our backline than help now.

[Tordah]

looked like a forward pass to me

[booboo]

1 point game ...

[JC]

So we go into the sheds a point ahead

... to us

[Tordah]

no proper replay of the try, but on first viewing i immediately thought forward for the pass from 10 to 14. Need better TV directors.

[chimoaus]

I’m still struggling with our tactic of constantly giving the ball back to the opposition and relying on our D to force mistakes. If they don’t make mistakes we are starved of possession.

[westcoastie]

Well that was a forgettable first half...rugby not reaching any great heights. Probably be called a classic encounter by games end.

[Billy Tell]

Our defence was excellent. That last try was just a really good move.

But we need to look at why we have so little possession. Is tuipolotou actually playing??

I much prefer the tactic of holding onto our possession with hard brutal offense and waiting on the inevitable opposition mistakes.

[JC]

@tordah just rewound and yeah, it’s pretty marginal. But why would we expect Barnes to call a forward pass?
