Oh, how the fabled New Zealand rugby depth has seemingly evaporated over the last decade

I think better coaching might have seen a better performance.

Where's Clayton?

In the coaches box next to MacDonald and Hansen?

@Duluth I should hope so.

There's some bloody handy players in neither ABs or AB XV squads

Ahh some typical NZ kicking again

@Canes4life said in Japan XV v All Blacks XV:

Should we be really worried that both McDonald and Holland are in the ABs coaching setup next year.

But at least Ryan, Hansen, Razor are all proven class. 3/5 isn't too bad.

Shocking decision-making from Goodhue.

Fucking so many shit miracle ball attempts

Amazing from someone so experienced.

@Victor-Meldrew even worse from Nankerville ignored his outsides twice and then drops it cold

Holland is a good attack coach. It's not like he's gonna be shoehorning James Blackwell into the AB locks

Strange pick of the forwards so far.

6-14

Source? And hasn't Tyler Blydeendal been their attack coach for the last 3 seasons?

How can a maul ending up as three different truck and trailers result in a penalty FOR the attacking team. Catastrophic state of mauling refereeing affairs

Jumped across the line

Watching the Canes under Holland for years. Their set piece attack has been consistently top shelf - without a quality 10 either. A real ability to create space and attack to it.

What a mess that maul was. Where was the penalty?

Great scrum and pressure from Weber

Numia going well at scrum time.

Finally an all black showing some grit

@Tim said in Japan XV v All Blacks XV:

WR Law 69.1
attacking team doesn't score from the maul after a 5m lineout.
Sanction: Penalty to attacking team.

Defensive bomb time?

How long before each call on the scrum?

Draw and pass, draw and pass

Beautiful team try. Goodhue getting the meat pie.

Great try. I’m loving Sullivan on the wing. Hopefully the Canes play him there next year.

Nice broken play try, Weber showing a good bit of deceptive skill there

He may have no pace anymore, but man Goodhue still has beautiful hands.

What's he usually playing? I've only seen his brother with the funny looking haircut at the Blues play, who's had some very good games and some shockers.

6-21 after a lot of pressure on their line, 55 mins

@Tordah he’s been injured most of the year but usually plays centre.

Very good team try. Nice hands.

Lots of changes, just as team starting to click

You were saying?

Great exit.

Fakatava with an Ardie Savea dummy there.

But since Holland's been their head coach wouldn't be as heavily involved with that area, Tyler Bleyendaal's been the Hurricanes attack coach since 2021 hasn't he?

@kiwi_expat How about you try to discuss the thread topic for the first time ever?

Norris, Thompson, Harmon, Fakatava and Cameron are all on the field now.

6 - 21 NZL with 59 minutes on the clock.

That guy was offside when he picked it up.
