Japan v All Blacks
-
Carlos raging at the performance
-
@KiwiMurph what attack?
-
@KiwiMurph Perhaps they’re “keeping their powder dry”
-
We will struggle in the NH, unfortunately. Sigh.........
-
@Joans-Town-Jones Pretty much sums it up when he expresses that this is almost an expectation.

He's not holding back.

More Carlos on Sky please. He actually calls them out.
He's the anti-Jeff "ultimate fanboi and coolaide slurper" Wilson

@His-Bobness I've had it up to my gills with that powder dry comment. Almost as bad is we're looking forward to this opportunity.

Full credit.

A narrow win is better than an embarrassing loss.
Still, this team has not "turned the corner" as some were suggesting after we the annual Wallabies flogging at Eden Park.

It certainly is.
I did however almost pictured in my mind grown Japanese me crying in the stands if they had managed to beat us.

Whitelock captain, Paps seven. Please do the right thing.

Just for @broughie

"The first half was even, the second half was even worse"
Don't want to take anything, absolutely anything away from Japan, but WTF was that?
Pros:
-
We won
-
Even though we were generally shit, we didn't panic as much as we have in the past. Having said that, we were still shit and it was Japan.
-
Sotutu: Played well I thought
-
Reece & Clarke showed some nice touches
-
We now know our second XV is a bit crap
Cons:
- We now know our second XV is a bit crap
- Mo'unga. 1-2 good touches but generally shit
- Lineout: Dire. Sami T or BBBT take some blame here
- Midfield: Shit but expected with Ennor & RTS plus Mo'unga's poor play. RTS did OK.
- Christie: Has he slowed down or what? Seemed much snappier last year. Maybe affected Mo'unga's play
- Mo'unga: Utter crap. Zero variation, crap kicking. What more can you say?
- Frizzell: Looked anonymous. Probably was anonymous
- Forwards: Average. Set pieces way below recent standards
Summary
Happy at half-time as you expect that sot of stuff to happen but expected things to settle down, instead it got worse. At least we didn't panic and changed tactics for a while. Finally, good to see ALB back. But what the fuck is it with our concentration in games like this?
