Japan vs All Blacks

@kiwimurph New boy learned a lesson. Was committed to drifting.

@stargazer Wayne Barnes cousin

Haha they go to the TMO to try and find a reason to not award it now. Refs are in damage control on Japan's behalf.

Jordie’s confidence is absolutely shot. Everything he’s trying is not coming off. Last game in black surely.
He's on the main tour so he'll play another test at least.
Interesting that didn't go up to the TMO.

If that’s the standard needed for Jordie’s selection, @Crucial should also grab his boots given he lives vaguely in the vicinity of the tour.

Bloody he'll, he is after the TMO now.
This guy is bloody inconsistent, it is frustrating.
Maybe Gosper had a word with him before the game...

Jeez, I don't think much of this ref.
Also, why are we throwing it so loose when playing good quality phases would build pressure and shit them out far more effectively. Lacking patience.

They are playing as if there is a mandate to push the pace wherever possible and make superior conditioning a factor in the second half. Points are on the table if they just take it down a gear.

Has Fifita made a tackle yet? Makes no yards, can't get his timing around the rucks right.... Doesn't look international quality.
@toddy er he doesn't do rucks and stuff
-
I'll call it right now. Papalii is the next Sam Cane. Born to play test rugby.
-
Lots of errors lots of tries, I wisely predicted. But fuck me I didn't predict Jordie would be the root cause of all Japan's points
@machpants Jordie has scored more points for the opposition in the last few tests he’s played than he has for the All Blacks.

@no-quarter Is this their strongest line-up?

No idea, hope not.
