    Thought Clarke was very ordinary today. Too slow to turn and seemingly lacking pace. Collier was great. We struggle without most of our first stringers.

    AB7s really need to up the brains level if they want to win big games.
    Firstly if you are 7 down with the time nearly up and have the ball under control be patient and score close to the posts. Don’t throw a wild pass for a score in the corner.
    Then when you get a penalty from the kick off tap and run a trained pattern instead of kicking to simply move 10 metres up field and run the risk of losing a lineout.
    then when you get the ball and win a penalty know what you are going to do. There were players signaling for a scrum then all looking at each other.
    Kick was rubbish but probably a good option if you had faith in the kicker. We never place enough value on the drop kick as a skill and I’ve lost count of the number of times that his bit us.

    It took them more than 4 minutes, but finally the AB7s score against this Aussie B/C side. Mikkelson still has speed.

    7 - 0 NZ

    And it's unbelievable, but Oceania hit straight back. Don't expect medals for the AB7s at the Olympics. Defence is optional.

    7 - 5 AB7s

    Geez, that was awful. Another try to Oceania. Hang your head in shame Molia and Knewstubb.

    Great turnover from Mikkelson. Then a break and try from McGarvey-Black. That was good.

    Shocking passing by Koroi nearly cost NZ that one. Can't understand why they persist with him. Rokolisoa and MGB are much more consistent.

    @stargazer OK thanks. Did not pick up on that. Was he the flat footed number seven? Warbrick and Nicole are pushing him hard for Olympics.
