Tangibly

I like it.

To be fair looks like Uruguay came 11th last weekend, so essentially just did a little better this weekend?

Are Tangitau, Leo and Solo just clones on a slightly different diet?

I guess what you are asking is... is there a tangible difference?.....

Good to see quite a few younger players in the squad and those players really contributing

[Bones]

@KiwiMurph hah yeah, zoomed out it's nigh on impossible for me to tell which is which.

Might ask Nisbo for some tips.

[Bones]

And maybe a bit of a tangent, but man I reckon Dickson could have been a quality AB in XVs.

Solo is quick eh.

I first watched him on the wing for NZ Schools, and he was fast.

Dickson did play a few XVs games for BOP and Canterbury a couple of years ago.

Around the same time Curry played? I would never have guessed Curry was a centre (and he looked like a flanker playing midfield), was Dickson at least a loosie? Looks a lot bigger on the 7s pitch than the internet gives him credit for but I was thinking he could have made a decent fist of 6.

@Bones 2020 for BOP and 2021 for Canterbury. Played mainly at no.8.

It's interesting that Way is bad at both 7s and 15s.

Bloody autocorrect

[Bones]

Why check that? Because it's the team Way has a preconceived idea about how they shouldn't do as well as the other team.

Cup SFs:

10.24pm: BF7s v Ireland

2.24am: AB7s v USA

[Stargazer]

Try to Nathan-Wong, who converts her own try!

7 - 0 NZ

[booboo]

Two penalties not awarded in that play

[Bones]

Hah you don't get a much clearer example of tackling without the ball. Luckily it doesn't cost.

[booboo]

Michaela!

[Stargazer]

Awesome try!

[Stargazer]

14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

That's the HT score.

[Bones]

This is a really strange attacking plan from Ireland. Persistently plugging a very narrow and well marked short side, with consistent results.

[booboo]

Huh?

[Stargazer]

Not a good kick-off from Pouri-Lane. Out on the full.
