What's the penalty count so far?

Two cards and a try as a direct result of Norris who has given away a series of penalties.

Could also blame Lennox for the handling error

How on earth was the ten running behind 5 obstructing players, not obstruction?

Landers92

Weak defense

If helps if you jump at the lineout on your own ball....

Struggling against Japan these days. What's happening to our rugby?

Bones

Yuck by Paul, no man's land.

They were named on Monday and had to travel. This is not unexpected

KiwiMurph

Nock and Lennox are on. Lennox playing wing perhaps

Bones

Christ, did they play a game immediately before this game? They're playing like they're exhausted.

Usually we win easily with set piece dominance and mauling but its been the opposite tonight.
