Great try. Started with Lio-Willie running off the scrum, quick pass from Weber, and Perofeta dotting down.

and an effective cleanout from Goodhue ...

He's so slow tho

Some of these ABXV players have shithouse basic skills eh. That was an atrocious effort at ball placement by Strange.

Some outrageous skills on display - basic ones are often outrageously crap

[Tim]

Looks like it'll be the get wide game plan today.

[Machpants]

Silly penalty 6-8 with 22 gone

[Stag]

@Machpants ball wasn’t even touched by the All Black 15

[Jailbreak7]

No cohesion in our forwards at all.

[Victor Meldrew]

Sullivan impressing.

Ok silly penalty from ref then haha

[Canes4life]

Ioane and Weber have been piss poor.

[frugby]

This is dreaful. Same issue the Blues have, going too wide too early. Reckon Razor takes plenty of control, but if Leon runs the attack, we might not be home free.

[Frank]

There's at least 3 or 4 Japanese players in that Japan team.

[Mattasaurus]

Akira spending a lot of time standing wide on this near side to the camera.. would love to see him get busy in the middle more often -- surely its not a tactic....

[Tim]

They need to use the ball up the middle. No point putting Ioane on the wing if you can't get the ball there.

I counted, I think it's almost 50% with the reserves, but much less with the starting 15
