No injuries was the best part of tonight's game.
Looked to me like Moli left the field injured.
Looked like cramp for Moli.
Geez how long was he on for?
He started...
Are you getting mixed up with Ta'avao?

We ain't scoring that against anyone who makes the Quarters
We’re not playing the quarters right now.
Hah I immediately thought yo'd quoted Chris.
Fuck off Bones
Job done for the AB's. 5 in the bag.
But what a weird game to watch. NZ seemed to be trying to play at ultra-high speed. Maybe seeing if they could take something from the Japanese play-book that proved successful against Ireland?
But conditions definitely didn't look helpful. That's probably more unforced errors in one game than the AB's have made all season.
But you can't argue with a 63 point victory.
@Billy-Webb a feature of the AB team the past couple of years has been poor handling. They've upped the tempo now though and a lot more are sticking, with probably the same amount being spilled.

Has anyone forced their way into the top 23 if SA Selection for game one is the top 23 ?
SBW I reckon a big possibility to start.

Nope. Maybe Jordie on bench for bender. Webb for TJ, but TJ was great Vs SA so I don't think so

Weber perhaps?

Yeah have to agree best game from SBW in a while
@Bones said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B):
Can't see Weber being used past pool play.
Totally agree
TJ sucked tonight, but there is no way we are replacing A Smith with Weber with 10mins to go in a RWC knockout game.

Game changed when he came on great pass and runs great support lines would not have thought that was a chance to take TJs spot before the WC but Webber was very good.

It depends on if the coaches are going to read anything into the play from the match.
I doubt they will, but the backline seemed to run much better when TJP went off.

Japanese play-book
You realise that the "Japanese play-book" is basically the NZ rugby playbook right down to schoolboy level right? I was taught as a kid 40 years ago about 'Power, Possession, Pace'.
