@Machpants not sure the scrum is that dominant (yet) basically Marshall called it.

That's 5 scrum penalties against NLD? That's pretty dominant

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants most were down the other end, at least one of which was 50-50.

[Machpants]

Now THAT'S a try!

Rahter helped by Heinz's ineptitude, but I'll take it!

[Stargazer]

Beautiful try.

[taniwharugby]

Yikes, poor d there

[kev]

Tough call

[taniwharugby]

Did he ever tell then to clear it marching around on the line? That's why mauls suck, he finds something to ping the defending team for while not policing the attacking team

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer great try in the conditions, Tani showing a bit more starch in 2022..will need a big 2nd half to stay in touch

[kev]

Happy with performance so far. Scrum standing up. Tough 2nd half.

About time they called George Bridge for offside on every kick.

Need to stay out of the danger zone... they are real tough to keep out when given scrum close to our line.
But we have enough flair to stay in this if we can get a fair share of territory and possession in 2nd half.

Yep. Penalties, and kicks to the corner will be an issue for us.

Pisi has been great. Good work rate.

@kev Canterbury doing what Auckland did last week and passing up penalty kicks for try hunting... difference is they are good enough to get over. I just love the heart we are showing though, even with quite a few out injured.

Huge. Such a difference this year.
