Think the main issue is no real go forwards from the pack and a messy lineout which is always forcing us sideways.

Tough to blame any of the backs I think.

Agreed but the forwards would get a lot more go forward if they weren’t just using them as one off runners off nine into a wall of defenders. The attacking pod system is awful and I feel sorry for the forwards who are constantly asked to make metres against 2-3 defenders

Hell of an arm wrestle this one. Actually really enjoying seeing 2 sides go at it. Pretty physical game and EDG is excelling. 2 scrum pens on the wallabies tighthead, a turnover and the top tackler for the half. Massive half for a prop.

We just need to stay in this. Remain patient have a bit more of a crack.

Lineout is on more than the thrower but the not straights and over throws are definitely on Jack. Epic around the field, hopefully he doesn’t get even more into his own head.

Cmon the lads bring it home.

Alaalatoa off lol. Bet he wishes his return wasn’t against an on fire EDG

We need EDG's kid going to school in Dunedin and not the south of France

Brilliant play Brums

Fuck great tackle Naraki

Landers92

Good work Tavatavanawai

SouthernMann

Jeez that was an unlucky bounce for Nareki

KiwiMurph

Landers need Tangitau running not passing

jimmyb

Fuck that passing makes me want to throw my laptop out the window

KiwiMurph

Shearer that was poor lad

Possibly the 2 quickest wingers in the game possibly the comp in Tangitau and Toole and nobody can get them in space

KiwiMurph

I enjoy the way Lasaqa throws himself around

jimmyb

Watch them take the scrum and give a penalty WY

KiwiMurph

Landers realise a quick tap is an option?

SouthernMann

Surely yellow card warning soon with scrum penalties

SouthernMann

WTF. Where is the attempt to wrap
