[Stargazer]

@Tim Not sure how it works, but Folau Fakatava wasn't allowed to play for NZ U20, was he?

[Victor Meldrew]

@Tim

The one from the IRB website is good.

Passive D which is not unusual for an NZ team.

We are being outclassed by supposedly the worst team in the 6 Nations. What's happening to our rugby?

[Tim]

@Victor-Meldrew Cheers!

Other countries are developing better players - probably a better overall strategy as well.

@Victor-Meldrew Yeah, that stream is at 25fps. It's the correct frame rate.

[Victor Meldrew]

We are throwing too many hail-mary passes. Need to calm down and get some control.

[Tim]

19 to 5. Very unimpressive.

[KiwiMurph]

Can't help but smile watching these guys get reamed after an arrogantly long haka and then shoving a Welsh player after the first try.

There is a French stream that has the correct frame rate. The youtube stream from WR is awful.

It must depend on what device you're watching, because for me that YT stream is excellent.

[MiketheSnow]

Best 40 mins from a Welsh team at any level for some time

Thoroughly deserved lead

Should be by a greater margin

[Tim]

@Stargazer are you on a TV? It might be doing correct pulldown to correct frame rate.

[MiketheSnow]

YouTube on my TV is all good

[Grooter]

Poor fella Kemara isn't having the best day out there

[Stargazer]

@Tim Nah, on my desktop computer.

[Victor Meldrew]

@MiketheSnow

At least 2 tries mullered. excellent from the Welsh forwards -pressuring us continuously.

[KiwiMurph]

@Victor-Meldrew Smart kicking by the Welsh too

[Stargazer]

That was good from Tangitau.

[Tim]

Finally some good play.

[KiwiMurph]

2 more poor throws by the hooker
