NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition

[kev]

DMac gives me the shits the way he hesitates with his pass (while he thinks about running - he wants to), and runs across field behind everyone who running direct lines have now run past him. That stuff is for later on. Not first 20.

Watching from our seats - our midefid is sloooooooo. Makes for a lot of opportunities to exploit space wider.

[sparky]

All Blacks only made 160 metres from 69 carries. Need better ball carriers and a sharper midfield.

Time to get a new defence coach.

[No Quarter]

Yep, we can maybe afford to have one of SBW and Crotty on, but not both anymore.

[antipodean]

Wallabies letting us off again.

To be fair, we shouldn't have been in this position as the cleanout on DMac came from the sideline, right in front of "we have a deal".

[akan004]

Dumb play from Read.

[Mokey]

If this is a world cup ground, I hope they are going to sort out the surface before next year.

[akan004]

@mokey We play SA at this ground.

[hydro11]

Wallabies on top right now. Full credit to them - they are playing well.

Soccer fields tend to be a lot softer so not suited for rugby. Not sure what they can do but it's less than ideal.

Kick the fucking ball out FFS

This team should stay in town and play Japan next week.They’ve had a nice training run like intensity tonight.

Defence is casual as fuck.

[gt12]

@donsteppa

A lot of it is numbers - the Aussie’s often stack them around the ruck and we just have one - if they can offload, they are behind us....

[Anonymous]

@donsteppa Seems like the Hurricanes players are the only ones with any intensity on defence

[mariner4life]

Would someone like to make a hit. Passive bullshit.

Aussies feeding off our passive defense. Some nice offloads and pops. We're making Rob Simmons look good for fucks sake! He's the best lock on the field

Moody, Franks and Whitelock off, Tuinukuafe, Laulala and Brodie on.

[Donsteppa]

Ah excellent. Some forwards being subbed on who might do something beyond cruising.
