That was greedy from Roigard

African Monkey

Roigard gets so greedy close to the line.

That pitch

Disgraceful - it's tearing up as players change direction.

I wonder if that's the problem for our scrum which should be demolishing Japan.

Nice footwork Samipeni

I know he has a massive following, but he hasn't had a good test so far.

He commentates AB rugby? He hates NZ rugby..

Yeetyaah

Shouldn't that be a penalty try? If he's infringed they take the defender out of the picture.

Not that it matters now lmao.

canefan

How do you say Kentucky Colonels in Japanese?

We'll win this 70-20.

Our offense is fine, it's the defensive lapses that are concerning.

No Quarter

Japan's defense is worse than ours, their missed tackle count must be huge already

There was another Japanese defender there also so they usually don’t award them in that situation.

we keep going for massive passes when we don't need to. DMac had guys on his shoulder but throws an average pass

Wahay look who’s back on the fern !

KiwiMurph

Patty playing well

LatsToTheMax

SF finally puts in some hits.

Abs obviously confused that the opposition is allowed to pass the ball both ways

NZR if you are missing the aura and dynamism of listening to a Scottish funeral service.

Canes4life

That’s more like the Aumua we know.

ACT Crusader

All the low numbers combining there.

canefan

Aumua shrugs off numerous oompah loompahs there

Yeetyaah

Can Aumua convert to a loosie or something?

Put him at 12. He’ll definitely get over the gain line.

KiwiMurph

Eddie Jones has gone from fleecing one union to another

Frank

Roigard's pass is better than TJ's.

canefan

Why do we not wish to take it into contact for more than one or two phases at a time before flinging it wide?

Odds on Hansen giving the halftime coach chat and using platitudes about how well Japan are attacking instead of being honest about his defensive coaching?

sparky

Attack good. Defence abysmal.

nostrildamus

I wonder how much this will tell us apart from Perofeta and DMac can both be flakey, our wings (and Cane) are slow and Aumua will always be up and down with throwing,
