All Blacks XV
Ref has decided because it's an exhibition match, he's going to do his Jordan Way impression.

Semisi Tupou Tae'iloa should've been picked for this tour over the worst Boshier brother
Yeah, hardly proved any of the doubters wrong. I guess he's a good lineout target.

Jacomb really has gone backwards in the last couple of years.
Thank god we’re shafting Millar for him

No doubt he's eligible for one of the six nation sides and will be heading north soon.

Doesn't feel like there's many (or any) players in NZ atm that genuinely love smashing opposing players.
Seems everyone is so passive. Drives me nuts.
Petrified of cards.

geee George Dyer is getting smoked at scrumtime
To be fair to George D, midget Locks won't be helping at scrum time.
Why field a kick on your 40 and immediately turn and kick without even getting eyes up? In a baabaas game? When the opposition are tiring?
Fuck NZ rugby really is lacking in brainpower, in crucial positions.

Na, they're a bit light to be fair, he's just folding though, hardly having his ass caved in.

Overcoaching?
@Bones said in Barbarians v All Blacks XV:
JRK needs to show a lot more to prove he's worthwhile too.
Yeah, disappointing really.
Kicking the fucking thing straight to their back 3 anytime we start creating space, without even going past 3 phases

Overall Jacomb lacks class for a 10.
At least you now know and he doesn’t become another false saviour by virtue of never being tried

They're immediately turning us around with their return kicks routinely finding grass and we wind up under pressure in our 22. Great try that though.
