Great play by Dalton P.

Also, why are we throwing it so loose when playing good quality phases would build pressure and shit them out far more effectively. Lacking patience.

They are playing as if there is a mandate to push the pace wherever possible and make superior conditioning a factor in the second half. Points are on the table if they just take it down a gear.

@toddy er he doesn't do rucks and stuff

Lots of errors lots of tries, I wisely predicted. But fuck me I didn't predict Jordie would be the root cause of all Japan's points

[Rancid Schnitzel]

I'll call it right now. Papalii is the next Sam Cane. Born to play test rugby.

[Stargazer]

Try Laumape after a brilliant pass from Mo'unga.

All Blacks leeking points again. What is the point of Scott McLeod?

Coaching how he played - flashes of brilliance followed by vanishing to the stands for several games.

Is that Robbie Deans giving some comments?

[MrDenmore]

@machpants Jordie has scored more points for the opposition in the last few tests he’s played than he has for the All Blacks.

NASA now needed to calculate the size of the contract Japanese clubs want to offer Laumape

@no-quarter Is this their strongest line-up?

No idea, hope not.

Luckily I just noticed it now - his half mouth opening talking style is quite distinctive.

He was good for conceding an advantage there, probably wanted the maul to end coz it’s not his thing.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Sure you want the TMO cnut?

[Donsteppa]

Scott McLeod’s all expenses included annual vacation continues.

[akan004]

How did four guys not manage to hold up one player?

[No Quarter]

Well our defense isn't great, which was probably to be expected, but we're scoring at will.

Ref let that maul go for a long time though after it was shunted back twice.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

How fair was the penalty given that led to that try? I have my doubts that wasn't something that's been done by both sides the entire game.

[taniwharugby]

Laumape went too high, if he had gone low and stopped him it wouldn't have got there.
