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

Great shot on Goodhue

@Steven-Harris I felt that just watching it.

@Victor-Meldrew How you watching?

Lio-Willie really is a midget eh

The guy that looked like a schoolkid standing next to Akira.

Worst attempt at a clean I've seen in an international

Penalty fest from Adamson

You Tube showing it. Watching last year’s highlights now.

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

Correctly, cos they're being average

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

@pakman

GIYF

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

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

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

@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

Perofeta looks so similar to DMac when he runs eh

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

Perofeta misses the conversion.

3 -5 ABs XV

Yuck.

Lol hall calling that harsh, Leitch in no way released

Not the best from DuP

@Machpants hendidnwell keeping up in that movement earlier.

Some outrageous skills on display - basic ones are often outrageously crap

Looks like it'll be the get wide game plan today.

Silly penalty 6-8 with 22 gone

@Machpants ball wasn’t even touched by the All Black 15

No cohesion in our forwards at all.

Sullivan impressing.

Ok silly penalty from ref then haha

Ioane and Weber have been piss poor.
