AB's v Wales

[kiwiinmelb]

That's the season done , not the greatest , but hopefully we will look back and see the benefits of getting lots of games into our second stringers

[Stargazer]

@chimoaus Missed at least one high ball, but has been reasonably good today. Still running a bit too lateral too often though.

[Hooroo]

Barnes reffed that really well for me. Consistent and let the game flow rather well.

Really enjoyed that game

Ioanenwas great but Cane was Magnificent. He deserves for me

[MiketheSnow]

Said it last week and I'll say it again

Dumbest Team In World Rugby

Well done ABs

[Billy Tell]

Au revoir 2017. Not stellar but depth has been improved.

Best forward Cane
Best back Ioane

When we get the artillery back in the forwards and the steadying hand of Benjamin back at 15 we will be a better side.

We need a power 6.

I dunno, Aussies were pretty dumb today....

[chimoaus]

Classic kiwi Ioane start every sentence with Nah.

Not a single mistake from DMac?

I think we have seen some maturity , focusing more on his core duties as a FB, rather than trying to be mr X factor every time he touches it

[westcoastie]

Scotland played better than Wales did today. Welsh didn't challenge us anywhere as much.

[Talisker]

Jiffy's pick of Ioane as motm was shallow, Sam Cane was the best player on the park by a mile

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Wales were utterly farked just after half time. Can't go through 12,000 phases without it taking it's toll.

At least no squeaky bum this time.

Cane and Ioane brilliant.

[chimoaus]

So Ioane scored 2 and setup 2 others, thank Fuk he wears black.

[Salacious Crumb]

Thank you All Blacks.

That's 30 in a row on them. Love that Streak.

[Billy Tell]

When moody is back I’d be tempted to go with Hames rather than Wyatt on the bench.

Mounga vs Sopoaga will be interesting. Also McKenzie might become the supersub 10/15 option we see. Thought McKenzie had a decent enough game today.

@tordah Crockett is always good for scrum penalties. He cost us a team yellow card in critical last 15 mins. This might be his last hurrah. Long career but hopefully we have developed some backup now.

[jegga]

Not a good morning for Krusty and Pennywise . Can’t wait for the press conferences.

[KiwiMurph]

Cane awesome.

Rieko Ioane brilliant. Hey Hansen maybe give his brother a go champ.

[Stargazer]

Great game to watch. ABs' defence was solid with massive performances from Cane, Taylor & S Whitelock. Great tries to Naholo and Ioane. Great try saving tackles from BB and Todd.
Invisible Squire (until the final 15 mins) and PT.

[98blueandgold]

@stargazer squire? What you smoking? I think under defensive pressure everyone did their job.

[DMX]

I seem to say at the end of every game, Barrett is not the answer at 10. Agree that he was not helped by Smith’s indeciseveness , who I thought almost screwed up Naholos try with that open field inside step of his. Natolo always mixes good with awful, Iaone is becoming the first player on the team sheet, and Cane and Todd operated really well together. I like the AB tackling technique but I thought we would have got more turnovers, perhaps Barnes was not calling them aggressively.
