    Can't even score a half century in 40mins against this team. Dreadful.

      The amount of turnovers against this very poor Tongan team has been absolutely horrendous

        Papalii a better winger than Bridge.

        I think the only All Black that wouldn't be is probably Owen Franks

        Frank’s will be spewing he’s not playing could’ve scored his first AB try

        I'd say Beauden would like to be out there too.
        Edit: actually would this not be a perfect warmup for BB?

            It's been obvious all season that Bridge is in terrible form. It's been obvious for a long while he is a very limited option. And yet Foster and Co. selected him on the Left Wing for the ABs. 🤬

            If I had to choose between him and Jordie..

            Jordie can at least beat a man one on one. Bridge is like picking a hooker that can’t throw into a line out.

                Are there no Cantabs on the Fern anymore? Bridge is taking a hammering and there's no one defending him.

                    @stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.

                            And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.

                                      Dropped passes, bombed two or three trys by just not doing the basics. Can’t beat a man in a game like this is very poor

                                        I think every AB has beaten a player except Bridge....

                                        He beat himself for the first.
