All Blacks vs Fiji
-
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.

This is a good Fijian side. Big men playing European rugby. The ABs kryptonite is not winning physical battle. Good test.
@kev totally agree finally someone who has picked what needed to be said ,this is a big physical Fijian team and I reckon they have got the perfect coaching team move this team forward ..this is an awesome contest

@nepia I've never said I'm a Bridge fan. I just hate how everyone is hating on him.
He had an shit first half last week, aside from that 40 minutes he hasn't copped any more hate than quite a few other players.
Patty T has been copping more this match for example.

I see on Stuff that Steve Hansen says it’s “stupid” that his self appointed mate hasn’t been guaranteed the All Blacks coaching role until after the 2023 RWC.

He is a idiot he stuffed the last WC with his mate Foster.

I hope Retallick just needs game time he looks a shadow of what he was at the moment.
Fiji forwards might be a step up from Japan?

I literally think he caught it and stood still. At least Owen Franks seemed to TRY to run.

Its time to cut Pat T lose and develop someone who can play at this level. I love him at Super level but he has almost never shown it at this level.

Yep - I'd like to see Tupou Vaai given Patty T's chances.

Our pack is lacking in aggression and energy, we look so laboured and passive.

After last season and the wc , this is very disappointing when it was the obvious we had to work on
-
Last play summed the half up, Frizzell not being able to clean, Fijian forwards winning the ruck.
Frizell gone well? I have not seen much of him.

Hansen sticking up for his fat mate. Tweedledum and Tweedledee have a lot to answer for.
