On paper, the All Blacks have by far the better bench.

Yes, hopefully, but one would expect the same would be said of the starting team.

[booboo]

Nothing wrong with that

Between the conditions, our performance, the referee, the commentary team (outside McTainsh) and the punditry, this might be the most henious test match ever.

Bahhh Gawwwd. Heinous.

[sparky]

ALB given a Yellow.

[nostrildamus]

how is our card record going this year?

[akan004]

See what our experienced players are doing, Razor? Yet your dumbass keeps on selecting them.

The comments on here aren’t much better either 😉

[Gunner]

Right so we get a warning after 2 penalties, they gave away a thousand in the first half but nothing?
Get fucked

Steady Eddie ALB's first sighting in the game is a YC.

How his spot in the squad is never in question is beyond me.

That is inexcusable. He isn't Godzilla.

Clear yellow

ALB offers nothing and gets picked game after game

But but 'experience'

Give him Fiji, at least, but other than that I've got nothing.

Christ on a bike this is truly an awful spectacle

Up there with Bled 1, Argentina 1 and any number of 2nd halfs this year.

This time we started shit and the usual 2nd half shit-fest has manifested itself as well.

[antipodean]

Very good maul defence time after time. Nice to see some improvement in the team.

Jordie cops a lot of crap at times, but he's twice the player ALB will ever be.

Carding an Allblack is a rite of passage for any budding ref these days.

I blame SBW in Lions test 2.

Been an avalanche ever since.

We turn the other cheek way too much when sinned against.

We are disproportionately the most carded team in world rugby.

[sparky]

@KiwiMurph He was a good player five years ago, but he is well down our best midfield options now. One that I would let go and have a pay day in Europe or Japan.

one day someone will mention the score.
17-6 to NZ after 49/50 minutes and 2 yellows (second just starting now).
