RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool B)

[Tim]

I'm most interested to see where, and how well, Ben Smith plays.

[booboo]

Okish.

Holding the ball would be handy.

[Victor Meldrew]

Looks like the ABs could be playing at pace to get used to the conditions - slippery balls and all that.

Yep and to put some pressure on that Canada can't give

Who is jimmy ?

Jimmy Nobody

TJP, I’m a fan. You’re the best support running 9 and defensive halfback in NZ. But give yourself an uppercut for that diving over the ruck, in the corner, no space to move, glory boy, try attempt. That was laughable.

A random twit on Twitter I guess

Probably matt dawson under a nom-de-plume

Agree.

No need to take the high risk option v Canada

[Stargazer]

It looked like Goodhue is going to be subbed at half time.

[booboo]

So. Lotsa chalk all over hands and jerseys in attempt to hold the ball?

[African Monkey]

Why do people care so much about us being below par in games like this? As long as we don't lose any key players, then everything's all good.

Some comical-looking handling errors from the AB's. SBW hasn't contributed,

Oh, the irony.

You missed his outstanding offload for the Canada nearly try?

ITV did a segment on his good involvement, really varied. Has the Canada defence all over the show.

[Damo]

I don't think we've been subpar. Quite a few handling errors but we are looking good with the ball in hand.

[kiwiinmelb]

I remember at the last WC , they were playing a little strange in the pool stages, and shag told everyone to relax , we are just practicing scenarios.

Reckon we're playing ok. Just dropping the ball. If that makes sense.

[Siam]

@African-Monkey yeah, there was a tournament about 4 years ago that told us not to sweat this stuff.

Bank a win and practice set pieces

Looks like he’ll be starting in 4 days as well then. Bender to centre or could we see the return of the midfield combo that we dare speak of.

He didn’t try to offload, he just got a pass that he wasn’t expecting and knocked it on.

Some posters need a chill pill, relax!
