Worries me if this is the conditions we are going to play in is this helter skelter game going to win the play off games we are putting ourselves under a lot of pressure.

perhaps the 2 wise men and the stooge will reconsider helter skelter options in the playbook in the knockout phase - no point gifting points to the peers

Hopefully

Some comical-looking handling errors from the AB's. SBW hasn't contributed,

Oh, the irony.

Think other top teams aren't exactly revelling in the sticky humid conditions either. 19-12 for example.

Odd, doesn't seem to be much reaction to the Read no-arms tackle.

In other, I'm sure unrelated news, twitter has been down apparently.

This does remind me of the 2015 RWC where we bumbled our way through the pool matches.

If I track back through your posts, I think you tend to worry about almost everything....

We are playing quite different to the Springbok match. Which I recall you were worried about

I think we all just need to take a deep breath.

We all knew a sub par performance was coming, the game plan to throw it around and offload at every opportunity is designed to put us under pressure.

Will we be playing as loose come Italy and beyond, I very much doubt it.

In the second half I want to see ardie in goggles

Or Scotland v Samoa.

Can't read much into this game.

In general the A teamers in the side look better than the B teamers.

I'm most interested to see where, and how well, Ben Smith plays.

Okish.

Holding the ball would be handy.

Looks like the ABs could be playing at pace to get used to the conditions - slippery balls and all that.

Yep and to put some pressure on that Canada can't give

Who is jimmy ?

Jimmy Nobody

TJP, I’m a fan. You’re the best support running 9 and defensive halfback in NZ. But give yourself an uppercut for that diving over the ruck, in the corner, no space to move, glory boy, try attempt. That was laughable.

A random twit on Twitter I guess

Probably matt dawson under a nom-de-plume
