AB's v Wales

[SouthernMann]

Another advantage to Luke Wgitelock is the partnership he has with Squire as a 6/8, they play week in, week out together. So there isn't much of a shake up with the loose trio by bringing him in. While he hasn't played much with Cane, he's probably played 25 games with Liam Squire.

Why isn't Tipuric starting?

I didn't see the Wales-Aust game so have no idea how Navidi played.

First game back from injury.

Navidi went OK. Plenty of dog. Came on against Georgia and didn't have a big impact.

Solid club player who's had two good seasons but only there because of injury.

Big Sam is going to get a haircut and shave next week. He will look like his dad but with more hair. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/99243914/all-blacks-lock-shaving-beard-and-head-to-help-7yearold

Good D from ABs, nice phase play Wales. BB drops a shocker, lucky Ioane was there.

[chimoaus]

Fuk me SBW what was that potato.

[Stargazer]

Phew, well done BB. Try saver.

[JC]

Telling mistakes early on.

[chimoaus]

@stargazer Hopefully they don’t score here. Worrying start with a few early errors.

[nzzp]

@jc and plenty of them

[JC]

Yeah, all that pressure off Smith not clearing a ball.

[chimoaus]

Hmmmm. Good D so far, pretty soft penalty. 3-0 to Wales.

[kiwiinmelb]

So far we look great without the ball,

And shit when we have it

[JC]

Love the shot of Wyn Jones patting Laulala’s arse to show he’s offside. From the AB’s side of the ruck.

Maybe we need a new attack/backline coach.

[DMX]

God D but dreadful start by backs.

[Stargazer]

Ill-discipline again and Wales got the ball back.
