sure thing ref... just let them lie all over our side of the ruck

Bones

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.

Overcoaching?

Bones

JRK needs to show a lot more to prove he's worthwhile too.

Victor Meldrew

Huge gap on the left....JRK throws a shit pass.

Tim

Overall Jacomb lacks class for a 10.

Bones

Kicking the fucking thing straight to their back 3 anytime we start creating space, without even going past 3 phases

At least you now know and he doesnโ€™t become another false saviour by virtue of never being tried ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.

Bones

Wellington to the rescue.

Tim

Lets go. Turnover ball. Nice heads up play from Preston.

Victor Meldrew

Nanai-Seturo has looked bloody good.

Wellington produces great backs.

Bones

Bloody hell, sunshine here.

As an aside, quite like Evans commentary, gets into the tactical aspects of the game, seems to have a great eye for how the game is developing.

He's pretty fucking monotone though eh, I stopped hearing him after 30 minutes

Yeah he does tend to fade into the background to be fair... Probably prefer him after twilight hours, it's the ASMR for me.

Tim

Paps, great cleanout then solid tackle chasing the kick.

Bones

Now that's a midfield leader.

More great work from ENS there.

Tim

ENS. Lets go. Great work.

sparky

Some big second half performances here. Paps and ENS leading the charge.

Bones

JJ should change the gameplan to exclude Jacomb from every play and just let him kick goals.

With ENS only extending in NZ by one year... he needs to be bought into the ABs as soon as he can

Bones

Credit to JJ, his subs have added a lot.

OomPB

BaaBaas drinking finally caught up on them. At least they gave the All Blacks XV a game
