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

Patty playing well

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.

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?

Razor Ball

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?

Like a whole team of league converts

@sparky Does Felix Jones have a new job?

Razor Ball

Signed off by the professor

DMac’s passing has been very poor.

@sparky said in All Blacks v Japan:

Its not being treated with the respect it deserves. Everyone is flinging it around with gay abandon.

Darry and Sititi have been the only ones ive noticed, take contact and reset shit ball.

Both Reece and Talea look like they are in slowmo. I’d be on the phone to Narawa

@Tim said in All Blacks v Japan:

Don't think so. A good call. I was also wondering if there is a NRL coach they could bring in to sort the defence out.

Narawa is watching, wondering who he has to blow to get selected above these guys

@His-Bobness said in All Blacks v Japan:

Or Julian Savea.

He'd fit right in this defence optional game

OMG calm the fuck down. We haven't played in an age. We're playing a team who are all about the razzle. We've scored 43 in the first half not playing well still trying to find out feet. They're working things out. Relax.

Tamati Williams in.
