    Just because he doesn't possess Aaron Smith's pass doesn't mean he didn't play well in other areas.

    Not even close. That's a big issue

    TJ can fluff around at times but this half he was much better than OK

    Great refereeing I thought.

    On the whole yeah.

    Disagreed with some (first scrum pen Smith missed for example), but think both sides would have had issues.

    Razor is explaining tactics and JK has the frown of an elderly person who has never heard of such newfangled things..

    I actually think a tight 1 point win and players being under massive pressure is a really good outcome. It shows exactly where we need to improve. What players need to step uo etc. Had we played Tonga and won by 70 we would be none the wiser.

    Am I the only one who thought Christie was alright off the bench? Thought he controlled things and helped us close the game out well.

    Just because he doesn't possess Aaron Smith's pass doesn't mean he didn't play well in other areas.

    He had a couple of very good phases especially in the lead up to that penalty kick (that DMac never took). But too much standing around for my liking.

    Reece was excellent and Pat T
    A worry at 9 and 10 for me.

    First Test, with not much prep against a strong opponent. I'm not going to be too critical because I always thought this would be tough.

    Nice to have a win and plenty to learn from and to improve on before Test 2 in Auckland.

    Thought Christie was very good 👍

    man, Razor's PR work is on point, down on the field with the sideline crew, talking through game tape - love it.

    Who would be the next halfback if Perenara is ruled out

    Fakatava?

    Christie was fine, he just (same as TJ) needs to act rather than fuck about. Bullet pass Smith is missed, but more that fact he rarely wasted time at the ruck. Just play and don't wait

    Please no, he's awful this season. Reece would be great there no shit, he does well and is often there when the nine didn't make it

    @booboo ah fair enough - i'm using an illegal stream to watch the game - normally the legal canada feed cuts off when the game is finished, so this is all new to me 🙂

    How was Smith able to do that, did he just have a better feel for where the game was going, trust himself to make instant calls?

    Admittedly Razor seemed to talk more detail
