How do you say Kentucky Colonels in Japanese?

Finau in.

We'll win this 70-20.

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

That was greedy from Roigard

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

I hope you've dug a deep trench.

Yeah, hasn't played much rugby, and the whole team is playing shit.

I'm glad he's starting - needs minutes

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

@Yeetyaah said in All Blacks v Japan:

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.

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

@Paekakboyz said in All Blacks v Japan:

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 !

Patty playing well

SF finally puts in some hits.

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

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks v Japan:

Not sure he was on the ball there. But rock solid over the ruck.

Gregor Paul's radio voice has all the excitement of dying house plants.

He commentates AB rugby? He hates NZ rugby..

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

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks v Japan:

And Finau's starting to get some good shoulders on in defence.

That’s more like the Aumua we know.

All the low numbers combining there.

Tosi in.

Aumua shrugs off numerous oompah loompahs there

Can Aumua convert to a loosie or something?

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

Eddie Jones has gone from fleecing one union to another

@Yeetyaah said in All Blacks v Japan:

Or train up a prop to throw it in?

To be fair he’s been perfect since that first throw.

Roigard's pass is better than TJ's.

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

Anti-Vern ball

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?

Attack good. Defence abysmal.

Easy tiger

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,

Clarke would be feasting at how much space Telea has been given.

Sam Cane, never ever stand out on the wing bro

No one wants to go to ground.

We have lots of players who could cross over to touch rugby

DMac took the fucking space up again!

We have the slowest two wings in international rugby here

Who is best available defence coach who the ABs could bring in for 2025?

@sparky Does Felix Jones have a new job?
