Why do we not wish to take it into contact for more than one or two phases at a time before flinging it wide?
No one wants to go to ground.

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,
We have lots of players who could cross over to touch rugby
@antipodean said in All Blacks v Japan:
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?
Who is best available defence coach who the ABs could bring in for 2025?

Attack good. Defence abysmal.
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.
@Tim said in All Blacks v Japan:
@sparky Does Felix Jones have a new job?
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.

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

Rugby's Dunning-Kruger.
@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks v Japan:
Clarke would be feasting at how much space Telea has been given.
Reece and Telea's legs are gone.
I still remember Reece against England in the 2019 semi, getting reeled in time and time again on the wing. They dealt with him handily.

Japan can't tackle and they're poorly coached. On attack they're making us look like muppets.

No. I want everyone sacked and a few of them shot out of circus cannons.

Glad you think this is setting us up well for the next three games. I don't, this is dire rugby, and shit defending. We'll lose the next 3 unless things change and fast
Half time. ABs 43 Japan 12.
ABs very good going forward, although they lack a bit of control, the defence is too porous.
Sititi and Darry the pick of the players.
@Tim said in All Blacks v Japan:

We're almost allergic to bringing in non-Kiwi help.

This is a game for the NZR+, YouTube short, Instagram reel generation.
But fundamentally its two drunks flailing about in a pub car park.
@kpkanz said in All Blacks v Japan:
Tbh with how crap we started it is impressive how many points we can score in a short amount of time. 43 in 30 mins, especially playing without wingers.
Our offense is a step above from previous years.
Pffft, they got smoked at home by Fiji and Italy.
Japan can't tackle.

Didn't say that. It's not exactly out best team out there. Blokes are still working out as a team. We're going to lose the next three regardless.

Everyone else is taking the piss.

Yeah there's a reason why we have 43 first half points.

We're almost allergic to bringing in non-Kiwi help.
The only guy I can remember is the Aussie who was the skills coach in the Henry era.
We really could do at the moment, with some non-Kiwi expertise, on Goalkicking and Defensive.

Haven't scored since the 14th minute. Scratch team playing for the first time. In case you haven't noticed, the score is 43-12.
