RWC: 3rd/4th game All Blacks vs Wales

You have to wonder if BB at 10 and BFA at 15 would have been the safer bet in that crunch game. Guess the coaches had a plan and had to stick with it, but BFA and Cane have shown their class so far.

Not much going his side? Aaron Smith made a great run down that side and for whatever reason Ioane wasn’t in position for a pass.
Then Coltman makes a run down that side and Ioane doesn’t take the pass.

@ACT-Crusader Smith had two opportunities to pass outside and used neither.

We're so fucking dumb.
Gifted you two try scoring positions and opportunities - notwithstanding Smith's superb finishing - and blown at least two great opportunities of our own.
This should be more like 21-17
@MiketheSnow arrogant and graceless

That's cos Coltman biffed the pass horribly

Yep, let the winger beat the last defender. He’s programmed to have to kick ahead as Bridge can’t beat anyone on the outside.

But Rieko was trailing and should’ve been up and flatter.

The pass for one the Welsh tries was pure sex.
Smith's pass for BFAs second was likewise. Magic.

Wasn’t in position for a pass? Give over! He was perfectly positioned - Smith just held a fraction too long and the Welsh winger defended it superbly.

Like what Coltman has added,at scrum time ,over the ball and carrying ,throwing good darts as well..

Maybe the two wings should’ve been Reece and bender

Bender on teh bench at least. Gives us options at 14/15

@junior so you’re admitting Ioane didn’t have enough pace then.

Agree. He's come on - was a bit nervy when he ran on, but he's developed massively

Should have been 15 and our best player at 10, not wasted at fullback.
