It started with TJ, then a great pass from Bridge, awesome behind-the-back-pass from Weber (not forward), and great finish from TJ.

Oh sure, just pretend Rieko wasn't even there...

Who did the perfect straight run, draw and pass to set them away again from the previous ruck.

Bit disappointed Bridge couldn't beat his man too.

Rieko being on the field even dulls other left wings.

71-9. Shaky and below par first 35 minutes. Much better after that. Job done. ALB was class in everything he did today. Italy next.

Great offload from him and some other nice touches. He still looks to be lacking confidence though

Just let them fall over then attack the ball fuck heads.

I'll say this again, these guys are falling. Let them but the ground

Jordie amazing 80 and 80 in 4 days. ALB and Ardie other top 3.

Jordie for canes 10

Ridiculous yellow card for Ofa T.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you have to attack a player that's already half tackled. The swinging arm isn't good and not in that manner.

Attack? Fuck you're getting dangerously old woman about this high tackle thing.

[Bones]

Shag celebrating a try with great gusto! Never see that.

[Billy Tell]

It’s not even close this season

Best AB forward over 12 months: Savea
Best back: ALB

I think it’ll be ALB, SBW and Crotty here on in. Goodhue chose the wrong moment to pull a hammy. This is probably the strongest 4 centres we’ve ever had.

5 points
Let in no tries
No injuries
No red cards

That’ll do.

Namibia vs Canada should be fun.

Attack as in the way you attack the breakdown, attack the line. Go at.

But thanks for your great input.

At full speed that decision cannot be made, it's ridiculous to even suggest it

Why would you cut away from getting the Namibian coach’s interview...?..amateur hour from spark sport ..!

Until of course they don't and you just let a bloke straight through the defensive line.

Not that simple, Ofa was committed and had begun his "lunge" into the tackle. There's really not much he could have done to avoid neck contact there, other than not try to wrap his arms. However, if he did that, it would be a shoulder charge and he'd be looking at an even worse sanction. So, I guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

[sparky]

Scoreline doesn't reflect how well Namibia did in disrupting the All Blacks in the first half. Gutsy effort from Namibia. I am sure the All Blacks will invite them into their dressing room for a well-deserved beer.

Yep and as soon as they blow past they just get up and run again. If they're near the line you're just letting them score.

[Rembrandt]

Never in doubt. . JB did exceptionally well I thought. ALB outstanding and Ben Smith a timely return to form and Weber looking very competitive.
