FFS Gardner how was that turnover legal?

Tonga needs halftime to compose again.

Great afternoon for the Accounts Department.

Not bad considering the change management consultants wanted the department disestablished.,

Crotty moving freely , get him off , cotton wool

Stargazer

Don't know whether this is Tonga's strongest team, but this is a really bad half time score for them.

Donsteppa

Tonga could save a fair bit of money by not flying to Japan....

All Blacks doing exactly what you’d expect them to do in response.

You know he'll slip while sitting on the reserves seat and dislocate his hip if you try that. Have you not seen Final Destination?

I reckon the comeback might be on

Tonga should have played East Coast or Southland to give them a chance to break their ducks.

2nd most points ever by the All Blacks in the 1st half of an international. Only scored more against Japan in 1995.

Higgins

If I was Steve Hansen, I'd be kitting up and slipping myself on as the replacement tighthead at halftime to make my All Blacks debut.

You don't think he could handle the midfield of his playing days anymore?

No Quarter

Haha well that’s a first kick off to remember for J Ioane!

kiwiinmelb

Geez what happened there ?

Donsteppa

A try within 8 seconds of the kickoff. Great AB’s play, and Tonga are an embarrassment.

Gunner

First ever touch of the ball in test footy for Ioane is a try assist.

No he looks to have lost a yard of what pace he did have. Might be good to see him with Sigfried Fisi'ihoi on this tail as he plods away on a 50 yard waddle for a possible try. He might get caught from behind if he is not careful. As I type this B Barrett has another wind recorded against him as the score races onto 59 without loss.

Gunner

Gee Tonga are disappointing, I expected us to win comfortably but they really have been terrible.

Turn on Prime TV and see George Bridge scoring off the first kick off of the second half.

Is there a mercy rule?
