Wil Jordan ran 133 metres with the ball in that half. George Bridge ran 18 metres with the ball.

@victor-meldrew Played a massive part in the first try.

Cringe flag in the crowd

The half and half one? I don’t mind it.

@crucial yeah haha I hate it

Quinn Tupea had a fantastic first half.

Even Owen Franks might have scored in this one.

Or Bridge might even beat a defender?

Has he touched the ball?

In the first 30 seconds he did.

Better than the “we are a British colony “ one.

Luke Jacobson scored more tries than Sotutu, Cane and Papalii put together.

That was a bit of magic from DMac

@sparky tbf the ball hasn't really gone his way

@sparky tbf the ball hasn't really gone his way

Or he hasn’t put himself in the right places? A few times the ball has gone his side and Jordan was over there.

@crucial eh but treaty partnership and whatnot. Not the thread for it.

@crucial out of the loop but I guess this is a big issue.

I think if Augsberger had gone lower he might have got him

Game is tailor made for DMac. No structure and weak tackling.

Would prefer they had some structure, Mounga playing 7s/touch style attack at times

Getting very messy now.

I’d like to see ALB sub on and move Ennor to the left wing

Mo'unga is hardly known for playing structure either

Is Ennor even playing?

@no-quarter but that's the thing, huge opportunity to play in a structure as they dictate every aspect of the game in an opposed training run

@crucial Yeah he got stepped by the US centre earlier and threw the ball into touch.

The little defending we've had to do has been poor

@no-quarter and if we kick to touch instead of going for 90m tries every play, give them some ball we will have to work defensive patterns instead of helter-skelter attack.

"Grounds it in one motion" when he had two attempts at grounding it?

Interesting interpretation

Soft defense from Jordan

Any tries scored down Bridge"s wing @sparky ?

Everyone thinking they can do behind the back offloads is just henious really. Considering the opposition not a great all round performance so far.

He’s playing pretty structured actually. If he gets a chance he’ll take it but most of the time he’s putting nice passes to others once taking it forward. There are some bigger headless crooks out there at the moment.

He actually grounded it on the line first go, didn't need to do the second motion

Sam Cane on the field.

My comment was alluding to the fact that he's playing really well, our best on the park so far, but that's largely because we are against a team with no defensive structure and weak tackling. He's great at exploiting teams like this.

Ennor goes to the wing and immediately looks at home and dangerous. Why can't coaches see this?

Ennor is a better winger than midfielder. He’s also a better winger than the guy that started there

Lomax has been shit since coming on

@victor-meldrew said in All Blacks vs USA:

Sam Cane on the field.

He came on with a whole new front row before that second try.

4 changes all at once

Now we have ALB on for Bridge and TJP on for Christie

@anonymous tits for hands.

How is TJ still in the team? So many bad passes already.

Lord on for debut
