No Quarter

Typical final quarter so far

canefan

Our lack of control is the cause. And no late game management

antipodean

Lazy forwards that have been on the field for all of 10mins and DMac gets run over.

Once again we haven't scored since around the 40th minute.

I remember when this happened in South Africa people claimed it was just the amazing powers of the bomb squad.

Turns out its an US problem.

sparky

Japan winning the last twenty minutes at the moment.

nostrildamus

Hmm bench should be called the bombed squad.

Can @Canes4life admit Proctor is looking pretty fucking average this half against the might of Japan?

Why has he been average? Dmacs the one that’s fucking shit up. You couldn’t admit that though either aye? Twat.

Passing to wingers constantly in worse positions, 50:50s that don't come off. Poor defensive decisions.

And in case it's escaped your eyepatch; I've complained enough about DMac's play.

That’s why they were raving about his performance at the half aye. Proctor has been quiet this half but he’s been good defensively. Calling him average is typically you though, always pessimistic.

"They"? Who the fuck are "they"?

Dmac keeps cocking it up at 10 so the ball isn’t exactly getting out to him either.

Oh yeah, I remember you making those excuses for Rieko all year.

Did you see that terrible fucking miss just then by Proctor?

At halftime you pillock.

That was a bad miss, I’m happy to admit that. But I can also admit when someone does something well aswell. You on the other hand obviously can’t.

One try all in the second half. Very disappointing.

Jet

TJP showed hunger on D there.

Canes4life

I blame Razor for the mess. Should have taken DMac off ages ago.

When you have that front row, havili as'impact' you know it's all wrong

Victor Meldrew

Good to see the coaching team have managed to banish the second-half -turn-to-shit stuff.

sparky

I hope the NZ media call out Razor for this crap performance and hold him and his coaching team to account.

Yeah right

KiwiMurph

I would roll the dice with Tosi on the AB bench next week

Worst ABs performance I've seen in a long time.... 50pts blah blah blah...
It's the 19pts for Japan and the attitude / lack of urgency and not valuing possession at all...

kiwiinmelb

What is it with the current squad and poor second half’s ?

We'll, since the first Wallas test, first Argentina's test...

I really feel this is worse

Jet

Bledisloe 2 followed by this debacle is the worst possible prep for whats to come in November.

We are in big trouble.

Tim

How do you not score there? Oh, DMac kicked it away in a completely pointless effort.

No Quarter

Final 35! Utter wank, the abs are an embarrassment to the Black Jersey

I've only been half watching as the cricket is getting interesting, but yup the exact same problems persist even against the 14th ranked side in the world.

Telea's fault.

KiwiMurph

Looked like a try to me

nostrildamus

how have Love and Laukai looked so far?

Who the f is Laukai?

If you mean Lakai, he’s been solid. Love’s playing on the wing and he just scored.

African Monkey

Nice little crossfield kick there from forum favourite David Havili.

No Quarter

Havili is just comically bad these days, one of the most biased selections in AB history
