Getting bullied up front isn't not a good look

NZ just not cleaning out quickly or effectively enough.... hard to believe TAB had Aus at $3ish earlier today after watching the 1st 25mins

This Tahlor Cahill cleans bodies at rucks well. Pity his teammates aren't as good.

Its very much individuals rather than 2 and 3 at a time.. .Aus seem to out number us every ruck.

The Aussie number 1 has the perfect face for a front rower.

Nasty collision between two Aus players there...

Nicely done. Good passing skills.

Was wondering why that HIA wasn't called straight away after the try

I want Tangitau to play for a team I support

@SouthernMann I was just thinking how good he would look in a Highlanders strip

Springer looked faster last year playing NPC. I thought he didn't look that quick for the Saders and he looks the same today. I keep waiting for him to put the after burners on.

Good to see they found a children's size jumper for Hurley

@Mattasaurus we can certainly guarantee him more gametime than that 'good side' he is attached to

Ahem hands off.

Apart from the one scrum the NZ scrum is much more solid, although I would have thought that Cahill would be packing as the TH lock.

I'd rather he got used to the winning feeling, rather than...you know.

Still looks like it could crumble at any moment though.

Is Tangitau signed to the Blues? Hopefully Laidlaw can entice him to sign with the Canes.

@Canes4life was named in their original squad https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.blues.rugby/blues-rugby-news/2023-squad%3Fformat=amp

Yeah, but much better than on Monday. Lauaki had his problems in SA last year too, so it could be a major weakness at the U20 WC.
