Japan XV v All Blacks XV

[gt12]

Fuck playing rugby in that. It was a fucking fluffybunny if a day here, hot and muggy and I think felt much more than 29 (my app says we got a bit above 30).

I noticed Bell in the changing room at HT and both on the field after the match. You can also see them in the team photo at the end.

Full game with NZ commentary posted on ABs YouTube channel.

He may have no pace anymore, but man Goodhue still has beautiful hands.

As @Victor-Meldrew observed recently, imagine him with Rieko's pace and you have the prince of centres.

The prince of centres throwing in a nothing grubber after being put into space down the left hand side, instead of looking to link up, would have had me stabbing him to death with the spikey bits on his crown.

From the earlier comments, I was expecting an horror show. Nothing like that. Of course, the AB XV looked a bit rusty at times but we must remember that it is a makeshift team, with just a few days of training in its bag. Weber was not that bad. I still rank him above Christie. I like what I saw of Goodhue. He is lacking speed but he has the best hands in NZ rugby.

I noted that both Bell and Dyer are part of the squad. Jager injured again?

Ah Kuoi was my MOTM.

Missed that. Was that on AB XV Twitter?

That is good spotting! Mafileo went to Argentina with ABs so maybe back up?

The PofC was a superb grubberer!
