Japan v All Blacks

With Will Jordan still out , I fear we will lose Jordie from the 12 shirt, and he is exactly what we need up north on attack and defence.

Play BB at 15 and bring Reece in for WJ

Reece had a couple of very ordinary moments last night but I love what he brings. And in the absence of a running 9 or 10 he's the only real threat we have around the ruck

Pretty much as good a combo as we can field.

He basically does what we want from Aaron Smith from time to time.

I forgot, who was the victim of the tip tackle in last night's match? And who was the Japanese player, who arguably deserved a red card? It will be interesting to see if he gets cited; I think he should be.

There was also a shoulder to head clean out on one of our props about 5 mins before BBBRs. Wasn't looked at .
Being a ref is a thankless task

@Stargazer it was Papalii I think (was a tip cleanout if that was the one you were thinking of).
-
@KiwiMurph yeah, it was Papalii. He looked pretty angry afterwards.

Have you got a time for that, or Dalts tip, anyone?

Smith, Mo'unga, Reece, BBarrett - pretty small ball backline!

Especially if our 9 and 10 just distribute. We'll get picked off.

Put a small midfield in there and they will run straight through us

Even DMac was shaking his head at the brainless kicking at times.
He of all people should understand it he has done enough of it himself.
As BB was doing it all season JB from FB as well it looks like a team tactic for some bizarre reason.You should only kick the ball in general play for a set purpose. That means that if you are unlikely to achieve that purpose, don't kick it! If the opposition are well positioned at the back you won't find space. If the opposition have more likelihood of collecting a high ball than you do, don't kick it!

No argument with that,But we are seeing it from everyone in this Ab set up who tactically kick.
Mounga,Jordie Barrett,Beauden Barrett its either a team tactic kicking straight to a player and not into space as they are all doing it.
Or it's a disease associated with this squad. -

well Foster was a First Five and his main strength was kicking when he played I suppose he is it.

I don't know. Since Mick Byrne left I think that there has been occasional use of Andrew Strawbridge but I dont think there is anyone doing long term work.
