All Blacks vs Fiji

This is a good Fijian side. Big men playing European rugby. The ABs kryptonite is not winning physical battle. Good test.

Doesn’t this indicate that the real future for Tonga and Samoa is just getting more players playing in Europe?

Can't remember the ABs giving away so many penalties at the breakdown.
Can't remember a ref willing to penalise them so many times

It's what happens when you get a Kiwi to ref them

The European sides are a lot more physical than this.

Marshmallows are more physical than the ABs forwards ATM

This new structure the All Blacks are playing is excellent. You can really see the benefits of weeks in camp.

Fiji have the skills, speed, and fitness to be a test Rugby tier 1 nation and if they got more time together, they'd make it a reality.
That was individual lack of skill, that awful tackle on havili, not team work

No All Black ever missed a tackle of course

@nepia I've never said I'm a Bridge fan. I just hate how everyone is hating on him.
Not him as a person, just his lack of ability.

Bad pass from Jordie ...
Wouldn't wanna criticise Havili would you...

No, it was too bridge and havili dropped his intercept

I’m so unimpressed by the AB forwards. We look worse than 2016 and appear to still have the same gameplan.
the AB breakdown and midfield concerns me. Fiji having fun.
-
Blackadder and Sotutu have been bloody busy and bloody good.
Laulala just shouldn't be given the ball.
Retallick and Tuipulotu look rusty.
Rieko was bloody busy to start and looking sharp, play seems to have gone away from him now.
Havili has warmed up nicely.
Jordie has been good.
Commentary team fucking abysmal.

I blame Hansen. This is his mate and between them they've managed to lose to Ireland and Argentina. Now we are lucky to be 10 points ahead of Fiji at halftime.
