No injuries was the best part of tonight's game.

Looked to me like Moli left the field injured.

Looked like cramp for Moli.

Geez how long was he on for?

[akan004]

@Bones Thought he stayed on for the entire 80?

He started...

Are you getting mixed up with Ta'avao?

[Bones]

@akan004 well what do I know...

We ain't scoring that against anyone who makes the Quarters

We’re not playing the quarters right now.

Hah I immediately thought yo'd quoted Chris.

Fuck off Bones

Imagine the scoreline if we made half the number of drops. Could well have hit a century.

[Chris]

Not worried anymore 😎

[Billy Webb]

Job done for the AB's. 5 in the bag.

But what a weird game to watch. NZ seemed to be trying to play at ultra-high speed. Maybe seeing if they could take something from the Japanese play-book that proved successful against Ireland?
But conditions definitely didn't look helpful. That's probably more unforced errors in one game than the AB's have made all season.

But you can't argue with a 63 point victory.

[Yeahtheboys]

Moli played the full game. Ta’avao, Laulala and Tuungafasi played 1/3 of the game each. Ta’avao subbed at 26. Laulala at 52 and Tuungafasi played the rest. Think it was strategic as Tuungafasi replaced Laulala (17 for 18)

Has anyone forced their way into the top 23 if SA Selection for game one is the top 23 ?

[Bones]

@Billy-Webb a feature of the AB team the past couple of years has been poor handling. They've upped the tempo now though and a lot more are sticking, with probably the same amount being spilled.

SBW I reckon a big possibility to start.

Nope. Maybe Jordie on bench for bender. Webb for TJ, but TJ was great Vs SA so I don't think so

Weber perhaps?

Yeah have to agree best game from SBW in a while

[Bones]

Can't see Weber being used past pool play.

[Machpants]

I think the midfield trio will be horses for courses, even into knock outs. Maybe not

Totally agree

TJ sucked tonight, but there is no way we are replacing A Smith with Weber with 10mins to go in a RWC knockout game.

Weber perhaps?

Game changed when he came on great pass and runs great support lines would not have thought that was a chance to take TJs spot before the WC but Webber was very good.
