All Blacks vs Wales

[Stockcar86]

<p>Coles still thinks he is playing for the Canes, giving away a penalty every 10 minutes</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Warburton all over the ball at the breakdown. <br><br>
North is looking very lively.

[Crash]

<p>i don't care about Wales.</p>
<p>I want to see us play some decent rugby = which includes tackling</p>

[taniwharugby]

Jeez we are giving them a lot of space on the wing...

[Tim]

Would like the ref to watch entry from the side of the ruck.

[No Quarter]

Important scrum.

<p>Looks like his opposite number "oh, but he'll front for the All Blacks" is running in treacle</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Am I right in thinking that the new law amendments are not in effect for this match except the maul one?

<p>Yep - lying all over our ball in the ruck/side entry you name it..</p>

[taniwharugby]

When you tackle they don't score!

[taniwharugby]

Hansen should show his disgust by not going into the change room

<p> </p>
<p>and on that bombshell, it's half time.</p>

[No Quarter]

Good defense, Wales woud have dearly loved a try from that.

[ACT Crusader]

We have the best right wing in world rugby, he's wearing number 15 on his back [emoji1]

[Virgil]

Our defence was better in that 60 second phase then the entire first half

[Crash]

<p>Tries aside, that was the worst half of rugby we've played since the Samoa game..</p>

[kiwiinmelb]

You got to wonder how much we are missing Conrad out there

[Derm McCrum]

Good first half from Wales. They are certainly up for it and some well-taken tries from both sides. <br><br>
I expect New Z to come back roaring after the break.

<p>I don't think we played <em>that</em> badly. It wasn't great and Wales definitely shaded the half. Wales just forced us into making errors and had a very accurate kicking game. We just need to put some more pressure on them in the second half. They have no idea how to deal with Naholo and their defence looks a bit shaky if we can force those one on one situations. Not to mention we have lots of fantastic talent on our bench.</p>
