Wales v All Blacks 30th Oct NH Tour

[Stargazer]

@damo I think it's the BB-DH combo. I'd like to see the RM-DH combo back.

[nostrildamus]

at least twice DH seemed to nearly tackle with his head, he needs to be careful he doesn't get really hurt with that technique..

[Machpants]

Be nice to see more reward for scrum dominance

Or the balance with ALB is wrong. I think we need a big bulky tough runner in one of 12 or 13.

@machpants Havili has been very good, TJ absolute rubbish.

Havili wasn't "very good", I'd say he was okay. A few mistakes, but also good things. The Fern only tends to comment on things that go wrong. Glass half empty kinda thing.

He wasn't great but wasn't as bad as some have made out. Defence with ALB was pretty good. Things just didn't go well for him - a few cm's here and there and he'd have been a hero. Stick with him.

[Stag]

The Welsh 7’s tackling technique is terrible and he’s constantly getting away with it.

[African Monkey]

Yeah Havili had a poor test and I am a big fan of his. I'd still persist with him having said that.

[Machpants]

Jordie could've run that it!

[Machpants]

Vai'i has some nice hands

[Yeetyaah]

Wales flopping all over the ruck and not getting pinged

[broughie]

@stargazer I just don’t think he is a 2nd five, especially at international level where there is less time and space.

And not releasing when they have the ball, ref had given up policing them

[nostrildamus]

I think ALB has played well even though he didn't need to do too much with that try, has tackled and covered well all game.

[Mattasaurus]

Wales are lucky Webber didn't start.

I'd argue we need consistency and a decent partnership most of all.

To be fair, we were as well. I thought we could have been pinged a couple of times in that phase for sealing off.

[nostrildamus]

Only 49, can we crack the half ton?

[broughie]

@victor-meldrew Consistently with the right players though not just because.

He's becoming Conrad Smith-like. Not too spectacular but absolutely solid and consistent
