Geez, almost feel sorry for Canada. Feel like they maybe didn't even get any possession at all in the 2nd half.

NZ get home 50-5.

[KiwiMurph]

NZ do well to find the space out wide and Leo has the pace.

7-0 NZ

[KiwiMurph]

Good defence by NZ forces an awful error by Uruguay in their in goal

Leo scores again.

14-0 NZ

[KiwiMurph]

Moses Leo cannot be stopped out wide.

21-0 NZ.

[KiwiMurph]

Half time.

A horror half for the South Americans.

[Bones]

Solo is quick eh.

You get the feeling Uruguay are a bit overawed. That was almost the second try to us from them dropping it in their in goal.

Tangitau does it easy.

[KiwiMurph]

More Uruguayan shenanigans in the in goal lead to a NZ scrum.

Tangitau scores.

Nice conversion

28-0.

[Bones]

And Tangitau strolls in again. This time frim 60m.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bones It feels like they overachieved to get this far.

Tangibly in again.

33-0.

[KiwiMurph]

Thought that might have drifted forward but semantics.

Clark scores.

38-0.

Uruguay having a shocker at the restarts.

[KiwiMurph]

Simple set piece try to Solo.

Then a penalty try to finish.

50-0.

Full time.

Crazy to think Aus missed out on the quarters.

I like it.

To be fair looks like Uruguay came 11th last weekend, so essentially just did a little better this weekend?

Are Tangitau, Leo and Solo just clones on a slightly different diet?

I guess what you are asking is... is there a tangible difference?.....

Good to see quite a few younger players in the squad and those players really contributing

[Bones]

@KiwiMurph hah yeah, zoomed out it's nigh on impossible for me to tell which is which.

Might ask Nisbo for some tips.

[Bones]

And maybe a bit of a tangent, but man I reckon Dickson could have been a quality AB in XVs.

Solo is quick eh.

I first watched him on the wing for NZ Schools, and he was fast.

Dickson did play a few XVs games for BOP and Canterbury a couple of years ago.

Around the same time Curry played? I would never have guessed Curry was a centre (and he looked like a flanker playing midfield), was Dickson at least a loosie? Looks a lot bigger on the 7s pitch than the internet gives him credit for but I was thinking he could have made a decent fist of 6.

[Bovidae]

@Bones 2020 for BOP and 2021 for Canterbury. Played mainly at no.8.

[Bones]

It's interesting that Way is bad at both 7s and 15s.
