Not smart from Love

Great run and offload from MMT to Perenara.

@Steven-Harris He's been sharp coming into the line.

Inside balls and smart kick options , hope Fozzy is watching this

Nice lineout steal from Tuipulotu earlier.

This back three looking dangerous.

For a new squad, this team looks well organized ..... sigh

DMac getting some rubbish passes from TJ.
Hope we get to see a Roigard/DMac combo for a spell

@Tim looks really good when he’s in space

100% Roigard should have started.

Nicely done.

@Canes4life Should, but never going to happen with TJ being a senior player and fringe AB.

Brodie McAlister looks good.

This performance paints a picture of how bad a coach Fozzie is. The XV team has been together for a week and they already look like a more cohesive unit than our top side.

TJ still questioning the ref about the ruling about players interfering at the ruck.
I am amazed that he hasn’t done his homework on that. This same team did it against him in Wellington and the interpretation has been explained as high up as Nigel Owens WR sponsored videos

I will agree reluctantly

Amazing try.

Brilliant try

Great team try. Stevenson on the score sheet again.

Wow

Superb, I’m really loving McKenzie, DMac and Love in this game. Very high skill-sets.

Haha I meant Stevenson.

Ennor has made some mistakes, but he's made some huge tackles, too.

Great to see an NZ team finally employ a fast rush defence. Look at how difficult it is for the opposition.

Yeah and TJ is a crap halfback these days but brings heaps around the field

Nothing in that.

I wouldn’t say he’s crap mate, he was massively influential in Wellington’s NPC success. His pass ain’t the best but his hustle is unmatched. Best defensive halfback in NZ aswell.

Ffs how is that a yellow

YC is very tough but it was very dumb

Fuck that.

Ridiculous card.

The ref is a toolbag.

Have to say that Jacobson hasn't had a good game thus far. Not sure you can blame that on him not being an openside.

@Canes4life to be fair he’d been very good thus far

Halfback’s primary job is his pass. That’s the bit I was referring to.

@Stargazer He's put some good tackles in, but has given penalties at the ruck.

Good maul defence. Irish didn't go anywhere.
