RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B)

Hahaha, Beaudy does a Scooter!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

breath

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

he was getting run down too the slow fuck.

That was so funny, he'll be buying drinks on that for the rest of his life. He was absolutely knackered

Keeping our powder dry on our secrets of holding a wet ball.

Good enough. Fix the handling and we are looking good.

We'll that was entertaining, well done every one

The game was okay to watch too

Oh fucking dear Beauden. You’re not at the Blues yet fulla, so cut that shit out.

No injuries was the best part of tonight's game.

I dunno, pride took a hit in places

Didn't make 70.

Soft.

Ha! Kearns makes a funny.

He picked 70 points and reckoned Beaudie heard him and dropped it just to spite to him.

I’m not too concerned about the handling so much in this one. Our structures and support play and pace was very good

I'll trust you on that. You're certainly the expert

What's the go with Ta'avao?

Some uuuuugleeee moments in that game from Barretts, but mostly great.

Poor Rieko, just not working for him.

SBW providing a headache, think he might have slipped ahead of Crotty to start, but Crotty will be great coming off the bench. Or vice versa. Goodhue will be lucky to see anything past the pools.

Tuipulotu dropsies, happy if he gets that out of the way now, otherwise nice.

Weber is a great halfback against the minnows. TJ is great off the bench.

Read needs a rest.

Not scoring the last 20 mins and making a million handling errors was joke but I didn’t mind because I had Canada +66.5. Wasn’t looking good at the 60min mark

Not sure. He's probably the one guy that we can afford to lose. And Rieko of course.

Looked to me like Moli left the field injured.

Yeah it's not as though the entire team forgot how to handle overnight. Canada just didn't have enough possession to drop it too.

Might be more worried if our QF was in Oita, but it's not.

Looked like cramp for Moli.

Interesting comments from Reado about Mr Hugh Middity.

Geez how long was he on for?

@Bones Thought he stayed on for the entire 80?

He started...

Are you getting mixed up with Ta'avao?

@akan004 well what do I know...

We ain't scoring that against anyone who makes the Quarters

We’re not playing the quarters right now.

Hah I immediately thought yo'd quoted Chris.

Fuck off Bones

Imagine the scoreline if we made half the number of drops. Could well have hit a century.

Not worried anymore

Job done for the AB's. 5 in the bag.

But what a weird game to watch. NZ seemed to be trying to play at ultra-high speed. Maybe seeing if they could take something from the Japanese play-book that proved successful against Ireland?
But conditions definitely didn't look helpful. That's probably more unforced errors in one game than the AB's have made all season.

But you can't argue with a 63 point victory.

Moli played the full game. Ta’avao, Laulala and Tuungafasi played 1/3 of the game each. Ta’avao subbed at 26. Laulala at 52 and Tuungafasi played the rest. Think it was strategic as Tuungafasi replaced Laulala (17 for 18)

Has anyone forced their way into the top 23 if SA Selection for game one is the top 23 ?

@Billy-Webb a feature of the AB team the past couple of years has been poor handling. They've upped the tempo now though and a lot more are sticking, with probably the same amount being spilled.

@Chris said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B):

SBW I reckon a big possibility to start.

@Chris said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B):

Nope. Maybe Jordie on bench for bender. Webb for TJ, but TJ was great Vs SA so I don't think so

@Chris said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B):

Weber perhaps?

Yeah have to agree best game from SBW in a while

Can't see Weber being used past pool play.

I think the midfield trio will be horses for courses, even into knock outs. Maybe not

@Bones said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B):

Totally agree

TJ sucked tonight, but there is no way we are replacing A Smith with Weber with 10mins to go in a RWC knockout game.

Weber perhaps?

Game changed when he came on great pass and runs great support lines would not have thought that was a chance to take TJs spot before the WC but Webber was very good.
