Strange that with all the dominance the All Blacks still look so laboured, hard to just not go through the motions I suppose

Seriously, they are utterly dominant. Hard to be critical of a side who are leading by more than 50 points at the drinks.

I wonder if the big US lock gets a try assist for pushing his halfback through that gap

Will post a pre-emptive whinge here about a first world problem I'm currently experiencing.

Long weekend in 1770/Agnes Water.

Used Aus v Jp as a test for the main game tomorrow a.m.

Unfortunately the Wi-Fi seems to be crap (this is alactually the case as proven by other internerding including Fernage). Or the Telstra network is crap. Either that or the casting between phone and tele stuffs up the stream. As all I was getting was buf... buff .. buffferi ... buffering regardless of combinations.

Tried to drop the resolution to see if that helped, but nup.

Quite annoying and will annoy one immensely in an AB game.

So maybe GOM during game tomoz.

Mind you, long weekend in 1770/Agnes Water.

So solution seems to be to leave phone out on balcony table. No buffering.

Game is not whelming me though.

Good on the Seppos for scoring.

Stay in the pattern ABs.

Even Owen Franks might have scored in this one.

Or Bridge might even beat a defender?

Did Angus say "Fucking hell" after he got thumped just before the US try? Was a pretty funny situation

Yeah, it's noticeable how contact in the narrower channels tends to end on our side of the advantage line.

Wil Jordan ran 133 metres with the ball in that half. George Bridge ran 18 metres with the ball.

@victor-meldrew Played a massive part in the first try.

In the first 30 seconds he did.

Better than the “we are a British colony “ one.

Luke Jacobson scored more tries than Sotutu, Cane and Papalii put together.

[Victor Meldrew]

That was a bit of magic from DMac

[taniwharugby]

@sparky tbf the ball hasn't really gone his way

[Crucial]

Or he hasn’t put himself in the right places? A few times the ball has gone his side and Jordan was over there.

[Yeetyaah]

@crucial eh but treaty partnership and whatnot. Not the thread for it.
