@Bovidae Salmon showed good pace, particularly for the 2nd try.

[Bovidae]

@taniwharugby Yes. He got some ball in this game unlike against NZ Schools.

Is this a minute's silence or a stare down?

[Stargazer]

Yep, that's always a red card. He fell on his neck. Commentators say for the rest of the game. They don't do 20-minute reds cards in these games?

[Stargazer]

Commentators correct themselves: the red-carded player can be replaced after 20 minutes.

[Stargazer]

NZ only scored one penalty goal during that red card.

[Stargazer]

That's a heck of a kick from the Aussie fullback.

3 - 3

[Stargazer]

Ahhhh, that attack looked so promising.

[Bovidae]

Some shocking passes being thrown by NZ and too much inaccuracy like getting bundled into touch.

Problems at LH.

[Dolamite]

One of the worst halves of rugby I’ve seen and you can’t even blame the conditions

[Stargazer]

Simpson is a good stepper but a terrible passer.

[Stargazer]

Finally.

[Nepia]

The inaccuracy of the NZ Schools team is frustrating, it's like they were deliberately trying not to score a try.

[Stargazer]

Excellent kick.

[Stargazer]

If there's a lot of wind, you have to adjust. Players aren't doing that and continue with those long passes.

[Stargazer]

That was great!

[Stargazer]

Running away with it now.

[Stargazer]

What a difference it makes, when passes stick!

[Stargazer]

Good workrate of the boys in black. They're working for each other.

[Stargazer]

A much better second half.
