Also, why are we throwing it so loose when playing good quality phases would build pressure and shit them out far more effectively. Lacking patience.
They are playing as if there is a mandate to push the pace wherever possible and make superior conditioning a factor in the second half. Points are on the table if they just take it down a gear.

I'll call it right now. Papalii is the next Sam Cane. Born to play test rugby.

Is that Robbie Deans giving some comments?
Yes, and it's fucking annoying.
Luckily I just noticed it now - his half mouth opening talking style is quite distinctive.

@toddy er he doesn't do rucks and stuff
He was good for conceding an advantage there, probably wanted the maul to end coz it’s not his thing.
-
Sure you want the TMO cnut?
-
Well our defense isn't great, which was probably to be expected, but we're scoring at will.
Ref let that maul go for a long time though after it was shunted back twice.
-
How fair was the penalty given that led to that try? I have my doubts that wasn't something that's been done by both sides the entire game.

Laumape went too high, if he had gone low and stopped him it wouldn't have got there.
