    I see on Stuff that Steve Hansen says it’s “stupid” that his self appointed mate hasn’t been guaranteed the All Blacks coaching role until after the 2023 RWC.

    He is a idiot he stuffed the last WC with his mate Foster.

      I hope Retallick just needs game time he looks a shadow of what he was at the moment.

      Fiji forwards might be a step up from Japan?

        Blackadder and Sotutu have been bloody busy and bloody good.

        Laulala just shouldn't be given the ball.

        Retallick and Tuipulotu look rusty.

        Rieko was bloody busy to start and looking sharp, play seems to have gone away from him now.

        Havili has warmed up nicely.

        Jordie has been good.

        Commentary team fucking abysmal.

        I literally think he caught it and stood still. At least Owen Franks seemed to TRY to run.

            TBH some of you guys are forgetting just how terrible Tonga were - a team of brickies and amateurs getting called up out of dire necessity.

            Lot more steel about this fijian team.

              Its time to cut Pat T lose and develop someone who can play at this level. I love him at Super level but he has almost never shown it at this level.

                This is the sort of game tailor-made for Vern Cotter.

                  BBBR is a million miles away from his best so he can have some chances but even he shouldn’t start in our best 23.

                      Last play summed the half up, Frizzell not being able to clean, Fijian forwards winning the ruck.

                        Our pack is lacking in aggression and energy, we look so laboured and passive.

                        After last season and the wc , this is very disappointing when it was the obvious we had to work on

                            Hansen sticking up for his fat mate. Tweedledum and Tweedledee have a lot to answer for.

                              Not many carrying meters from the forwards

                              Sotutu with 13 & Tuipulotu with 8 are the best. Really low compared to normal

                                That’s exactly who I am referring to, and PPP should be given some chances too perhaps.

                                  Still it’s Fiji we have harder to come and this is what we have Ffs it could get ugly latter in the year.

                                    @nostrildamus you can usually spot him ineffectively hanging on Fijian forwards as they're stealing AB ruck ball

                                      Good game so far.

                                      Those Fijian's are big boys and are playing some rally good rugby.

                                      Might need a change of game plan at half time and commit a few more to the ruck as we're struggling to clear the ball quick enough. The backs will do the business as long as they can get quick ball.

                                        Razor would get a lot more out of all these players. Then a better game plan, and you'd have a well-oiled machine. Maybe not worldbeaters, considering who's in the squad, but much better than this.
