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?

Where's Clayton?

In the coaches box next to MacDonald and Hansen?

[Bones]

@Duluth I should hope so.

There's some bloody handy players in neither ABs or AB XV squads

[Mattasaurus]

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.

[Victor Meldrew]

Shocking decision-making from Goodhue.

[Machpants]

Fucking so many shit miracle ball attempts

Amazing from someone so experienced.

[Steven Harris]

@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

[Tim]

Strange pick of the forwards so far.

[Machpants]

6-14

Source? And hasn't Tyler Blydeendal been their attack coach for the last 3 seasons?

[Tordah]

How can a maul ending up as three different truck and trailers result in a penalty FOR the attacking team. Catastrophic state of mauling refereeing affairs

[Duluth]

Jumped across the line

Watching the Canes under Holland for years. Their set piece attack has been consistently top shelf - without a quality 10 either. A real ability to create space and attack to it.

[Tim]

What a mess that maul was. Where was the penalty?

[Steven Harris]

Great scrum and pressure from Weber
