All Blacks vs Fiji
-
@no-quarter small rugby nation, no preparation, country in tatters with COVID, history…fantastic I reckon.
-
Really enjoyed this contest ,seeing another repeat of last week would have done nothing for anyone..
Fiji really bought it physically showing the benefits of many of their forwards especially playing in France and Europe in general but I suspect being stuck in isolation and lack preparation finally told especially in and around breakdown accuracy and discipline..All Blacks looked better when both Whitelock and Coles were on the field ..but in terms of consistency I thought Ethan Blackadder playing in the unfamiliar jersey was very solid ..biggest disappointments to me where Sotutu,Tuipulotu and Frizzell.. -

People on social media really out here saying that the ref fucked Fiji out of the win. Did they watch the fucking game? Williams was fucking terrible both ways.
Standard response from the neutrals whenever the ABs play.

I dislike the way Smithy is going on about how Fiji should be "proud". No professional athlete should be proud of being thrashed. Comes across as condescending.
Missus ACT said the same thing and she didn’t even watch the game but saw the score!

Softness there that needs sorting. BBBR got better but didn’t dominate, where Sam Whitelock just looked class.

That game reaffirmed that no matter how good Frizzell is at super, unfortunately international rugby is beyond him.

James Ryan.
Was he that ranga guy?
I thought that was our new victory shout.

Also thought Taylor lacked accuracy and the starting two props looked lost out there too.

@taniwharugby Yup, Test level is a far tougher, tighter style of footy. Doesn't matter how well you go at the level below, you're either made for test level or you're not, and Frizell is not.
