All Blacks v Wales Test #3

MiketheSnow

Third test in a row that we've blown scrum attack just before half-time. You'd swear the Welsh players were being tazered ever time they touch the ball.

Hope Welsh tighthead doesn't get vertigo! Moala straightens attack noticeably better than in last two weeks. that said, Crotty has been good, but not a big enough unit to force through closer in. Having spotted much of Dixon.

Jeez, Dagg looking better than he probably ever has?

Hooroo

I just jinxed Crotty. Just saying how well he is playing and he loses ball in tackle.

Hooroo

Dixon been a bit ho hum

How do they fit Lima in ? I thought earlier Dagg , with Barrett going to FB , but not now

taniwharugby

BB in, but was Ben Smith doing something illegal there pulling the defender like that's?

Hooroo

I love how stoked Smith gets whenever a try is scored. Just about hugged the ref

Tordah

Barrett powers through Biggar, haha

No Quarter

This is getting ugly for Wales.

Sam Cane gets a sit down. Too many penalties.
 
It will be interesting to see if they look to bring A Savea on instead of bringing Cane back.

taniwharugby

YC for Cane

kiwiinmelb

Bit dumb by Cane , Only Richie gets away with that

mariner4life

that's a dumb penalty, but did he even see who he was grabbing?
 
I hate that rule by the way

LagerLout

In comes the bogan.

taniwharugby

Dixon to be replaced by Squire I expect

yeah that ruck was clearly still contested, but refs tend to penalise that when the acting halfback is the actual number 9. Cane should have known that

Moala not looking right

Stargazer

Moala off injured; Naholo comes on.

kiwiinmelb

naholo centre , well this will be interesting
