Just awful defense lol

Our big pack struggling move.

Sam cane showing his great game awareness

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

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

Our defence nearly opened up again

Lucky there because Telea was skinned

Only a clown would think that was his fault. Players are busy running to where the system says they should be without paying attention to what's going on.

Wow!

You’re kidding. What a try.

Far out

Wow

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

Dearns has some pace.

Time for some resignations

Top end speed.

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

How's that lack of control working out guys?

DMac’s out that back pass has been picked off twice. Too predictable.

Will be disallowed.

Just saying, Fiji and Italy had no problem dealing to this Japanese side.

So, I think individual brilliance will get us home, but this is just woeful so far

Fucking hospital pass by Aumua!

Not sure. I just think we're shit.

It's like bad touch footy

Our whole attack is too predictable.

Why do we hate close quarter attack under this coaching regime?

It's like anti Vern ball

As I said earlier, we keep going too wide too early. Punch it up more.

Unlucky and it’s saved a lot of embarrassment
Telea being exposed again on the previous play

@KiwiMurph Especially when we have a big size advantage in this game.

After they clean up the mess in their pants from watching the 1st 20mins.

NPC teams defend better than this...they should be fucking embarrassed

Since 2017

Wayne Smith loves it tho, is our DNA

Now known as losing rugby at test level

Billy Proctor in.

Nice try.

Yes Billy.

Fuck no one bothering to defend

ABs just need to stand deeper on attack.

17-12 to the ABs. Defence is optional in this game.

@Machpants Everyone forgets that he was a disaster as AB head coach, and made the "powderpuff basketball rugby" cliche real.

What? Where? When he was left defending 3 men?

No release in the tackle from the Japan #3

It's becoming apparent to me that careers have been made on the back of Sam Whitelock.

DMac runs sideways taking the space from Tele'a. Thankfully Cane was there.

We score a messy try in the corner. Razor will be ecstatic
