Nice little fake pass by Richie.

What was the penalty advantage for at that scrum? Going backwards?

Kiwiwomble

@kiwiwomble except for the part when he's resting his arms on the ground not supporting his weight.

I don’t think he was resting, they touch the ground as he scoops his arms under the ball but there looks a clear gap directly after as he lifts, to me anyway

Toddy

Good footwork by Jacobson at the back of the scrum.

@stargazer aslong as Ioane isn’t there I’m happy.

What has he done wrong? Good energy, tackling, lineouts..

He means Rieko

The way we are playing under Foster Australia look dangerous .

The joy of modern rugby, you are almost always penalised for losing the scrum

TBH I'm not sure. The flanker eventually came off, but it was still up at the point whether his arm went out

Tim

Nicely worked from a scrum going forward.

Ah ok, thanks.

What was Bower doing. The fake lift 😉

Scott Barrett looks all at sea at these kick offs

Victor Meldrew

This is dire from the ABs.

Basic mistakes galore - and that's not including the lineouts.

Because he's super limited.

He’s taken two. Bower forgot to lift on that last one.

Competitive, hard-fought test. Enjoying it on its own terms.

But, dear Lord, we need to add physicality and accuracy to our game or we are going to get mashed when we play the Boks, England, France, Wales or Ireland.

I disagree. Fiji are playing pretty well, and are trying to make a mess of the breakdown.

The only thing I don't like is our lineout

Maybe a couple of real hard cleanouts to get them looking
