There was no advantage from that scrum pen

Lovely from Proctor again. Try no 2 for him tonight. The Goodhue and Proctor centre combo looks classy.
Proctor has been defending well too. Some good work just before Strange got isolated and Japan scored
Fantastic 40 20 and try set up from nareki. Yes he screwed up a couple of times. But, it is all about pumping the positive.

32nd minute kicked a 50/22.

Yeah Zarn Sullivan ain’t better than Love. How good was that.
Zarn is better

Oh. What is a 40-20?
Edit. Ah, Google says League
@Machpants dude let it go. I have come home after a few beers to watch this. I got the terminology incorrect. Fixed it in a later post. Stop getting on a spectrum buzz.

It was a genuine question which Google answered, apologies for my denseness

Zarn or Reuben? Important thing for me is we have 2 up and coming talents getting international experience playing alongside experienced Test players. Love the AB XV concept.
@Victor-Meldrew bang on. This is a concept where we celebrate the good things. Let the coaches iron out the fuck ups.
@Canes4life yeah still has a full season ahead for Wellington.
@SouthernMann he’s been replaced by Gilbert. Hopefully nothing major as we’ve already lost Perenara.

Both NZ Hookers have struggled at the lineout
It will be fucking hot, I dunno about throwing in this weather.
It's fucking hot and horrible here and it's worse there.
Fully fuck playing rugby in this weather; honestly it's how people could fucking die.
What do people really see in Gilbert in the midfield. He looks like a bigger version of that guy who used to play for the Blues.

I've fully blanked on it. Played fullback and was slow, then looked okish in the midfield.
Actually, he's the opposite of Glibert.
Edit: @Duluth you took the piss out of him plenty, who am I talking about?
@Duluth said in All Blacks XV v Japan:
@gt12 Collins, that’s harsh on Gilbert
That's it.
I think Gilbert is much better at FB than Collins, but Collins looked better in midfield than Gilbert.
Good win.
It'll be a fun evening in Kumamoto tonight.
The lady interpreting is funny as, she was like the first part was Maori and then they were talking about how they want to play well to become All Blacks.
Good game in extreme heat from ABXV. Do like the work Ah Khuoi puts in in forward pack, and I thought midfield were bloody exceptional. I would have no probs with Goodhue on bench for ABs, and I think Proctor is just gettting batter and better at 13. Real happy, saw all 3 NZ teams win yesterday, so slept well!
