Will Jordan involved yet again.

Reece solidified his AB spot 2026

Christie’s decision making has been far better than Ratima’s. Unfortunately Christie’s pass is more laboured than Marshall’s!

Dmacs had a great game tbh. Pretty much easily better than every Beauden game.
And did this playing with Ratima.

Depressingly predictable.

Sevu Reece scores to say fuck you to the Fern. Great footwork.

Good on him.

I hate that Reece is selected as long term is pointless. But people do forget that he bitched the Chiefs in the final and completely outclassed Carter

Thought Jordan could have finished on his own to be honest. Obviously just wanted to show Bones he does pass from time to time.

Bunker decision. Reminds a YC.

Mr Fish

Bollocks to that. No sudden drop at all.

Yeetyaah

Sevu's biggest fan in the thread, no point turning it into a Super team pissing comp. Most people on here's hate for Reece comes from him being a fuckwit off the field.

We just made 40 metres up the field. Why is the next phase a one off runner into traffic letting the defense reset??

Just draw and pass through the backs the defense is stretched. Walk in.

@Darren said in Wales v All Blacks:

Kirifi is just ok, but shouldn't be selected again. Another stupid decision by Razor.
Parker is worse though.

A lot of people, and rightly so, said Kirifi should get a look in after his super rugby season. He was pretty good. He (rather predictably in hindsight) didn't have the skills to make an impact in the international game.

Parker was the form 6 in super rugby (amongst pretty slim picking).

Neither were terrible decisions, they've just been disappointing

Kirifi's selection for the EOYT was stupid. It was fair enough to pick him for the RC as he had a good SR, but the selectors should have seen how little impact he had in the RC and not persisted with him.

72 years and counting, boyos, 72 and counting.

Bob Deans will be avenged. Again!!!!!

Mr Fish

Wales chasing 25 points, their highest ever score against NZ.

Edit: In Cardiff. Wales scored 37 at the 2003 RWC (and what a game that was).

Hope Mike the Snow found some kissable foreigners in that bar.

Can't even defend against 14 men..

sparky

LRZ looks like he scored in the corner. Great finish to be fair.

This is the worst All Blacks team I've seen in my 22 years of watching the Sport

Tordah

This must be some system with coming to the inside and leaving the wing unmarked. What shit defence

Can’t believe we’ve let Wales score 4 tries hahaha

sparky

@Grooter I think we were probably worse in 1998 but this is certainly one of the worst ABs team since I started watching them in the mid-1980s

Letting this dogshit Welsh side score 4 tries is embarrassing. They wouldn't even beat the Highlanders.

sparky

Caleb Clarke in for a double.

jimmyb

Fun fact, Wales scored more points against the ABs then they managed against Japan

sparky

Wales 26 New Zealand 50.

How nice is it to have that beautiful quick wide pass from our 10 to actually let our outsides play

Damian nails another

sparky

Kick gone.

26-52. Two minutes to go.

@upthelanders Could have used an ace goalkicker the last 10 years

I’m getting sick of watching Reiko pass 😉

sparky

LRZ with another great break.

sparky

Wales might crack 30 points here.
