      We're so fucking dumb.

      Gifted you two try scoring positions and opportunities - notwithstanding Smith's superb finishing - and blown at least two great opportunities of our own.

      This should be more like 21-17

      Maybe. On the other hand NZ are normally notorious for scoring freakish tries, especially either side of half time. The score is a pretty fair reflection of things I think.

      Your boys need to hold onto the ball for longer.

        Playing as well Bridge ever did in the WC, which is to say he needs to get more involved.

          That was some pass to put Bender in.

          As I said earlier avoid or bypass the midfield.

              I'm surprised he isn't trailing on the inside more on attack.

                Our defensive structure is still awful.

                    @Billy-Tell rubbish. This is a nothing game against a weak Welch side.

                    Yeah you’re right. Jordie Barrett was all calm and collected what was I thinking.

                    @Billy-Tell yes agree Jordie was always a big call. But you can’t compare selections for the semi final with this game. ABs all over Welch forwards so apart from a bit of discipline this is a one sided canter. Score should blow out 2nd half.

                                  Yep, let the winger beat the last defender. He’s programmed to have to kick ahead as Bridge can’t beat anyone on the outside.

                                    But Rieko was trailing and should’ve been up and flatter.

                                      I hope Weber comes on early, he has such a positive persona and he must be itching for some minutes much like Coltman.

                                        @Kirwan better than hiding on the wing in attack like Rieko?

                                          @Kirwan better than hiding on the wing in attack like Rieko?

                                          Weak sauce criticising a winger for being on the wing. Try harder.
