Japan XV v All Blacks XV
-
Sheesh give the ball to Love
-
AB XV sucking in the big ones - which is fair in the heat and humidty.
Poor execution, and some head scratching tactics -
eg Akira on sideline when we could really use his presence at ruck times etc. And the desire to spin it wide too quickly I feel -
@Jailbreak7 Even Weber is a better goal kicker. Saved by the post.
-
Reasonable first half, considering heat etc and first game. I find it pretty interesting watching the ref too, we have read enough comments the NH will kill us at breakdown, I think this fella fairly lax myself.
Also didn't realise that Mitchell was in Japanese camp. -

Oh, how the fabled New Zealand rugby depth has seemingly evaporated over the last decade
I think better coaching might have seen a better performance.
Where's Clayton?
In the coaches box next to MacDonald and Hansen?
-
Ahh some typical NZ kicking again

Should we be really worried that both McDonald and Holland are in the ABs coaching setup next year.
But at least Ryan, Hansen, Razor are all proven class. 3/5 isn't too bad.

Shocking decision-making from Goodhue.

Amazing from someone so experienced.
-
@Victor-Meldrew even worse from Nankerville ignored his outsides twice and then drops it cold

Holland is a good attack coach. It's not like he's gonna be shoehorning James Blackwell into the AB locks
