Anyone know if the Japan match is being shown outside of NZ ie in UK?
Everything I’ve seen indicates it’s not being shown.

Okay after this morning I reeeaaallly want to know what out defensive pattern out wide is
On those early exchanges when Wales tried to play wide their first attack RI took one guy, used his pace to get another, and that STILL left Clarke defending 2
I would write it off as a bad read saved except the exact same thing happened to ALB later in the game.
There's a risk/reward thing there and I would love to know the thinking.

Our defence was fucking excellent this morning
-
@Stargazer I tuned out as soon as Jones spouted a negative of ST is that he's greedy with the ball.
-
@KiwiMurph Not happy about that. I didn't want TJP anywhere near the ABs anymore. LF should have been given a chance against Scotland.

all this chat of depth is so overrated. How many more players do we need?
Right now we have two guys who can play fullback to a decent level.
3 really good wings.
1 nailed on centre, one guy who has played well there previously
3 guys who would do a good job at 12
2 guys at 10
2 guys at 9
8 is skinny, but Sotutu appears to have the tools
2 guys at 7
2 guys at 6 and a lock who can go there too
3 locks
Props appear to have the rotation sorted
Hooker has a genuine star to start and two guys with experience behindThat's a world cup squad nailed on. They also seem to know who the best 23 is. And the squad has guys who can slot in.
Generally what people mean is "we are running out of tests for my favourite players to get a run and prove to everyone that i knew best"
If he was rotating players every week people would be on here lamenting that "we are running out of tests to build combinations!! pick and stick!"
The team is what the team is going to be. If we lose a bunch of players at the same time we'll probably be fucked. But that is the same for every other side in world rugby.
(aside: the deepest World Cup squad ever assembled also got bundled out in the quarters in that country's worst ever result. depth is overrated)

TJP brings something different. He is like a fourth loose forward. His passing is not top notch (you will say "poor"), but his physicality and experience could be effective under peculiar circomstances (heavy rain, for instance). However, I would have kept Weber and send Christie to the AB XV.

Agree 100%.
