Amazing what a finishing wing can achieve...

Playmaking from the wings has been shit though

Wise words

Also I think Ardie does perfectly fine up route one, he's bloody awesome

His skills are better used elsewhere. IMO.

Reece more effective on the Left wing than Bridge.

So is a scared hedgehog. Sorry, unfair. But Reece definitely more opportunistic and faster.

@kiwiinmelb seems pretty animated in the huddles and talking to team mates

@mariner4life where, at 12?

Loosies look good

Seem well balanced

Would prefer someone other than savea or Whitelock running into the 1 channel though. Carn fatties that's your job

I believe that Bower is yet to make a carry as an AB. Good for 3 penalties though.

Just made one

He’s got his 2 metres, now he needs 10 tackles, 2 missed, and 2 penalties and we’ve got Owen Franks (minus the scrummaging) back.

[Old Samurai Jack]

AB forward pack rolling up their sleeves. I like it. Score irrelevant.

[nostrildamus]

I much prefer Savea at 7 than 8.

[Machpants]

Have we managed a jackal yet?

[nostrildamus]

Fiji beginning to look a little battered and exhausted now.

[Canes4life]

@nostrildamus same here, that game against the Crusaders this year was something else.

[mariner4life]

I don't know what's happened with Stan but at half time I'm getting pictures but no talking.

I like it

But but but we are not physical enough…. according to some on here.

Jacobson, Ioane, Savea and Barrett have been excellent in the physical exchanges.

Fiji play a scrappy sort of game where they just throw bodies in, not with great accuracy for the most part in my view. Probably could’ve had more penalties tonight.

[Tordah]

At first I was annoyed that the ref blows his whistle so often, now I think it's just both teams infringing at every tackle and/or breakdown situation. Taylor is shit, Barrett needs to catch the restarts. Like the loose forward trio.

We are looking better than last week but still lacking real punch and aggression

The end of the season for most of them, the third incoming tour game is often the biggest ABs victory of the year, like 60-0 Vs Ireland

The Fern is always the toughest crowd to please.

We are so awesome here, is hard to please us...

[Chris]

We are going to murder Fiji in the 2nd half it’s going to get messy.

Hard task master. We're pumping them on D, especially the loose forwards. And getting on the front foot reasonably easy on attack.

And we are playing against big boys.

I would love to find a real physical threat in the midfield, but these two are making a good fist of this until we find one
