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
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 forgot, who was the victim of the tip tackle in last night's match, that was only deemed worthy of a yellow by the ref? And who was the Japanese player, who deserved that 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
Have you got a time for that, or Dalts tip, anyone?
@Machpants 71:40 for the cleanout past the horizontal. Came down okay.

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.

@Nevorian well one of them has recently been in SA teaching skills; why NZR isnt looking to utilise his (well both actually) skills is beyond me.
Maybe Foster thinks they are too close to the game in terms of recently retired, although given they are still using the pretty much the same structures and principals from when those 2 last played....
McLeod must be proud of his defence, our last 2 outings v Japan have conceded >60 points...guess you could argue its our attack that has fallen away since the last visit to Japan, the defence is consistent...
-
DC did some kicking work with the BFs a few weeks back. Don’t know where he finds the time in between his visits to the Chemist Warehouse.
@Crucial I do wonder if they need a size 4.5 ball for womens rugby, slightly lighter and smaller than the mens size 5, but not as small as the ones they use for some kids grades
-
That was the first full game I gave watched for 2 years, got a sky subs going again for the cricket.
I do enjoy watching Japan. Although, normally I enjoy watching them against anyone other than nz as their high tempo game usually played right into our hands . Not anymore?

@Tim I can't find a gif or vid of it anywhere, but at the time I was flabbergasted that it wasn't properly penalised. Not even a yellow.

Because it involves an All Black player so the world doesn’t care…

Anybody else think having Mitchell in the coaching box helped Japan it felt like that England semi.

No idea. But I see Mitchell has made yet another fckn journey. This time from twickenham to Tokyo.

Yeah it will definitely be Ardie, he’s third choice behind Cane and Whitelock. Probably second now because it’s hard seeing Cane coming back from yet another injury. The man should retire or go to Japan and make easy $$
