Japan vs All Blacks

[Stargazer]

Try Laumape after a brilliant pass from Mo'unga.

All Blacks leeking points again. What is the point of Scott McLeod?

Coaching how he played - flashes of brilliance followed by vanishing to the stands for several games.

Is that Robbie Deans giving some comments?

[MrDenmore]

@machpants Jordie has scored more points for the opposition in the last few tests he’s played than he has for the All Blacks.

[Squirrel]

NASA now needed to calculate the size of the contract Japanese clubs want to offer Laumape

@no-quarter Is this their strongest line-up?

No idea, hope not.

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.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Sure you want the TMO cnut?

[Donsteppa]

Scott McLeod’s all expenses included annual vacation continues.

[akan004]

How did four guys not manage to hold up one player?

[No Quarter]

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.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

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.

[taniwharugby]

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

[Davesofthunder]

This is very frustrating.

Hoping halftime sees them get a serious talking to about keeping it sensible and use possession.

When we keep the ball we can score easily, no need to do the stupid shit.

[Tim]

I know this is a scratch side, but the All Black defense is shit this year.

[rotated]

Shipping 20 odd to Japan who are being absolutely man handled and dominated at each set piece is shit. Attention to detail is woeful.

[sparky]

Disgraceful that an All Black team concedes three tries to what looks like a glorified pub team. Vaea Fifita and Milner Skidder look like they are trying to avoid making tackles. Terrible, terrible levels of commitment in defence.

[Davesofthunder]

@no-quarter yep, when they just let mauls keep going it's frustrating.

It's why players resort to illegal pull downs because the legal stop method doesn't get enforced.

This ref has been pretty poor all around to be honest. Don't like focusing on a ref but it has been notable unfortunately.
