I'm interested to see how Sam Gilbert goes in a backline that isn't complete dogshit

Interesting it looks like they see him as wing/centre.

@Bovidae Given attitude of Jase Ryan, wouldn’t mind seeing Akira and Lo Willie swap positions.

NZRU could always arrange live stream on YouTube for international fans?

Anyone worked out how to watch this game in Aussie yet?

Stargazer

After a quick google, I found two illegal streaming websites that list this game (there may be more). That's all I'll post about it here.

Bones

@Crazy-Horse yeah like SG says, the only option may be to get yourself in as a VIP...

Sounds too hard for me. I'm over-achieving logging onto the Fern every day.

Lots of fake streams on YT. Many tell you to go to websites where they want you to register and give your personal details. Others show the wrong game.

For those looking on YT: the Japanese team wears white jerseys with dark grey hoops.

Victor Meldrew

Good crowd. Clearly the game is putting down strong roots in Japan.

Great shot on Goodhue

Bones

Lio-Willie really is a midget eh

Tim

Damn that was a hit.

Penalty fest from Adamson

Do you have a a big Cherry Blosum and Silverfern in the middle of your screen?

Jailbreak7

Hope we dont start like this against Argie. Japan getting a lot of latitude from ref. But ABXV need to step it up.

Clean outs at the ruck have been bloody awful so far.....no accuracy

Bones

Some of these ABXV players have shithouse basic skills eh. That was an atrocious effort at ball placement by Strange.

Canes4life

Shit we look messy. What happened to using the backs? Too many forwards getting in the way of clean ball.

Tim

@Mattasaurus It's hot and humid there. They may be struggling to get into the game early on.

Leon Macdonald as head coach.

Nice set piece try tho

Bones

Perofeta looks so similar to DMac when he runs eh

Stargazer

Great try. Started with Lio-Willie running off the scrum, quick pass from Weber, and Perofeta dotting down.

Stargazer

Perofeta misses the conversion.

3 -5 ABs XV
