@Jet straight after a dubious knock on shown AFTER the conversion.

They are allowed to review after the conversion now.

One of the stupidest things that has entered rugby over the last few years has been the whole “quick kick the conversion so they can’t review it.” Like it’s some game of cat and mouse with the on field ref.

So it’s good that they can review at any time from a “let’s get it right” perspective. But how poor does it look for the sport when kicks are still being allowed when the TMO can still make an intervention. It’s actually laughable when you think about it.

@sparky said in Wales v All Blacks:

Ruben Love did well enough at Fullback. I hope he gets more outings there.

Nice injections into the line on attack, but Jordan would be eviscerated for the charged down kick and shelling of a few catches.

Think Love is getting "new guy" leeway.

@Jet said in Wales v All Blacks:

Very disappointed with the Allblacks.

Very disappointed with Rugby in general.

The sport is in a sorry state.

Ireland vs the Boks kicking off now.

And I will be surprised if a card does NOT play a big part in the game. Thats where we are at.

Ireland will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to win this one. But hey they’ll be getting my support

@ACT-Crusader They certainly will as it was a match between Wales and the All Blacks that's now finished.

Buy, hey, the luck of the Irish and all that.

@Victor-Meldrew probably true, but he was no worse than Ratima tonight, man has that guy gone backwards…

@sparky said in Wales v All Blacks:

Was he injured? Why was he taken off so early?

@Canes4life Because Scott Hansen hates his guts.

6 minutes in.

One of the worlds biggest stars Sasha Feinberg Ngomezulu shoulders an Irish player in the head.

Penalty only.

Rassie earned that clemency in the media over the last few weeks.

Love definitely needed a break after spending the whole tour in the stands.

Boy we getting some real dumb posts on here lately! If Robertson hated his guts he wouldn't be in the squad.
I worry for this forum, we are getting some crazy posts that make no sense.

Nah there's some truth to Scott Hansen specifically not being keen on Ruben, I have a mate that went to Palmy boys with Ruben and has told me as much.

@DurryMexted said in Wales v All Blacks:

When christie came on we really tightened up in the centre of the park which I liked. Actually some good crash balls before backs ball

I thought our ball sped up a hell of a lot when Christie came on. Mind you I don't get the Christie hate we get on here, I think he is ok.
Though I will be honest I find that with a lot of the player hate on here, so maybe I soft.

@Grooter I have a mate with inside knowledge‍️

You are joking aren't you? You got a mate who went to PNBHS and he supposedly got told by Love? :astonished_face: And you even take notice of that kind of gossip?

@Dan54 yeah I really doubt my leg is being pulled, my mate has given me other rugby info ahead of time such as Ngani Laumape to Moana, Kyle Brown to the Chiefs and Flyn yates to the blues. beats me why Hansen doesn't rate Ruben, he would be in my 1st choice 23 Dan. 50 minutes today was his lot this Tour sigh well that's life I guess

@Dan54 Sometimes the oil here is 100% on the money, sometimes it's utter bollocks. Do you trust people's sauces or don't you?

All we promise here is "Awful analysis, incorrect conclusions, zero insight. Wrong about pretty much everything."

@ACT-Crusader don't think they have any choice tbh, we have a dearth of talent at 13 and given he's added a bit of timber and physicality to his game since returning it's a no brainer.

@akan004 said in Wales v All Blacks:

A good performance according to Jeff Wilson and Mils.

These assholes are almost as, if not more culpable than Razor and co.

They are enabling if not endorsing this absolute shit show.

They put the boot in fair and square - both said that this was decent performance but didn’t take the team any further forward and plenty of questions remains, including whether Razor and / or his assistants should go.

If it truly is the case that they are just mouthpieces for HQ, then I think we can take from their comments that HQ are seriously considering their options - as they fkn should be.

One amateur era player and the guy who got replaced by Dagg cause he can't catch a high ball? Lucky we have those two rugby geniuses on our TVs

Some serious revisionist bullshit going on here. Mils was gobbling Up the highball in 2010. He was injured for most of 2011 and Dagg’s attacking play was irresistible.

did we lose then? Reads like the death of rugby not just the All Blacks. Or has everyone's cat died?

Happy to kill cats for those who haven't had one pass.

@nostrildamus if I was watching as a neutral probably would've enjoyed myself as Clarke, Rogers, Rees-Zammit & Sititi put on a show

Highlights (but probably will only work in the UK and Ireland)

I thought he was taken off too early did the selectors really need to see more of Sevu?
Love is fresh could have stayed on... hate pre planned subs

Absolutely.

Goldie and Mils were both sensational players. Insult their punditry all you want but never forget how they went in the Black jersey.

I'm actually genuinely offended on their behalf.

Once Ratima decided not to kick and instead pass the pill, the All Blacks played better. His kicks were awful and put the ABs under pressure. Overall, not a bad game from the starting backs from 10 to 15.

So true watched Wilson play live and was amazing how fast and athletic he was,,, its a common theme with players who turn commentators people either forget or are too young to appreciate just how good they were. Both Wilson and MIls have good games and bad when commentating,,, remember the hate Mex got and Stu

Ratimas box kicks were shite for any level - just should be better, I think he could be way better and has been way better- looks confused and lacking confidence and that most likely stems from the coaches

They didn't just call him Goldie because of his hair. One of the most instinctive rugby players I ever saw

I watched most of it , struggled a bit through tiredness and went back to bed when the result looked secure ,

Gee we seem to easily leak points these days , that was probably the thing that stood out strongest for me

We don't dictate and control the play anymore. Other teams impose their will on us

2nd highest amount of points put on by a Welsh team against the ABs. Arguably the worst Welsh team in history.
