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

When you tackle they don't score!

Hansen should show his disgust by not going into the change room
-
Good defense, Wales woud have dearly loved a try from that.
-
We have the best right wing in world rugby, he's wearing number 15 on his back [emoji1]
-
You got to wonder how much we are missing Conrad out there
-
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>

Shame we didn't score just at the end of the half. Some great attacking play by Wales, something we've not seen in bloody ages (begs the question why Mr Gatland)<br>
I'm sure you'll run away in the 2nd half but I'll just enjoy the moment
-
Well done to Wales in that first half. They played good direct footy on the flanks and exposed a bit of lack of awareness by our 3/4's. <br><br>
Our attack is a bit scratchy. What was the deal with Naholo at first receiver a few times in phase play? The forwards taking the ball in close looks good though. Cruden's vision very good and a couple of very good kicks to put pressure on Wales. However some of his and Aaron Smith's passing has been very poor. -
Fuck that was shocking. Worst defensive display by an ab team since.....I can't remember the last time they were that shit. Both wings and locks should hang their heads in shame.

Well I sure hope we don't have to bring on Tamanivalu.
