I think get Rieko back out on the wing and leave Billy Proctor at 13.

@African-Monkey thats the thing, cant be fooled by a big score, similarly by messy play given the way these games are played...we always score too fee or it was too easy and we score too many
It's the quick taps that are probably annoying me the most. I'd ather we at lest try to play more structured and to the set piece more in the 2nd half.

Finau bullying 10s again.
That’s how he rolls. Other players are too big to push around

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.
Ok. And Englands TOP team (who are probably the 5th best team in the world currently) only put 50 on them, while we could hit 70-80 with a B team.
We're beating the clock currently and people are pissed it's quite astounding
Wouldn't say I'm personally pissed myself, but I'm not fooled by what I'm seeing either against crap opposition.
A fixture we're learning nothing from.
I agree we don't learn much from this. More so directed at some others claiming we are going to get smashed the rest of the tour following the performance this half.

Fair enough.

Didn’t realise Blackadder was playing?
@KiwiMurph esp as he had his jersey grabbed before he got the ball

His injury rehab is GOAT like though.
Roigard scores at 43 mins. Only 6 more tries in the next 37 minutes from the bloke and he'll be back to his best

Because no other team is as good as we are at destroying this sort of terrible defence. But at no point have we demonstrated the patience and control we're going to need against competent teams. Defensively our structure looks terrible.

On a serious note, that try will boost his confidence comig back from injury.
Perofeta been a bit of a non entity at FB if we are honest.
Jordan would have a hat trick by now with the standard of tackling on display.
Apart from the first throw of the game. Aumua’s having an outstanding game. Superb on defence and strong on attack.

If this was a World Cup pool match I would share your frustration.

Now we need to see him bring it across to playing the tier 1 teams the next 3 games

That’s more like it Finau.
It was an accident. He thought it was a back.
