Fuck me if Sititi isn't one of our greatest All Blacks ever by the time he retires I'll fucking eat my entire jersey collection of 200 or so

KiwiMurph

Finally an AB lock captain does something

Paekakboyz

Good shit Patty T. Lead from the front.

Canes4life

We’ve found our new winger

Patrick Tuipulotu dialing in on a Julian Savea like finish

He's dynamic that's for sure

Paddy T in. ABs lead 14-7.

Hansen looks a fun guy to be around

Defence optional right now

Looks like a guy who's head is on the block if the Northern Tour goes badly

No Quarter

Just awful defense lol

KiwiMurph

Bring back McLeod....

This is fucking woeful...... absolutely no urgency on D

Tim

Are these fluffybunnies on holiday or something? Uncontested.

Fucking hell, our defence is so bad. Time for some coaching changes

Victor Meldrew

Our D is utterly shit. The Japan 9 does a quick short pass and we open up like a can of sardines.

Canes4life

Fuck wake up boys. We’ll get done by the better teams if we turn up like this.

Nepia

We have weird ruck defence, I think it's systemic rather than specifically player based.

sparky

Japan score. 12-14. AB defence utterly shit.

Tim

@Nepia Yeah, there was just no one there on several occasions in the lead up to the try.

KiwiMurph

Our defence nearly opened up again

ACT Crusader

Lucky there because Telea was skinned

Canes4life

You’re kidding. What a try.

No Quarter

What has happened to Reece? Outrun by a lock? Embarrassing

sparky

England, Ireland, France and Ireland will be watching this and licking their lips.
