All Blacks v Japan

[Tim]

@Machpants Everyone forgets that he was a disaster as AB head coach, and made the "powderpuff basketball rugby" cliche real.

Unlucky and it’s saved a lot of embarrassment
Telea being exposed again on the previous play

What? Where? When he was left defending 3 men?

[Yeetyaah]

No release in the tackle from the Japan #3

[antipodean]

It's becoming apparent to me that careers have been made on the back of Sam Whitelock.

[antipodean]

DMac runs sideways taking the space from Tele'a. Thankfully Cane was there.

[canefan]

We score a messy try in the corner. Razor will be ecstatic

[Tim]

We should crack 60 points today.

[African Monkey]

Has a mid table Super Rugby match feel to this fixture so far. Like a game of touch.

Jesus that was so bad, DMac took up all the space, bloody crab

But clearly Plummer, who allows his outsides space to play, is not the answer

[sparky]

Cane in. ABs well ahead now.

[Jet]

We will learn fuck all from this. This aint a rugby match.

Well not real man's test rugby anyway

This offers zero preparation for playing England, Ireland and France away on consecutive weeks.

It's also kinda boring if I'm honest.

[ACT Crusader]

Great falcon by our captain.

[Tim]

@Jet Yeah, trying to score of every play isn't much of an examination.

[nostrildamus]

our big men won't like the humidity.

[sparky]

We're all about the highlights reel. All icing, no cake.
