All Blacks vs Fiji 2

[Canes4life]

@machpants I actually like the balance of this trio. Ioane has carried well, Jacobsen has been solid on defence and Ardie is warming into his work.

[mariner4life]

Great piece of defence. He's fucking strong Ioane

[KiwiMurph]

Akira smashes him into touch

Loosies look good

Seem well balanced

Would prefer someone other than savea or Whitelock running into the 1 channel though. Carn fatties that's your job

Missing Moody and Ofa. They play that role well.

Amazing what a finishing wing can achieve...

Playmaking from the wings has been shit though

[Toddy]

That's a maul. Why is he telling the Fijians to leave it.

[Kiwiwomble]

He doesn’t have to release if it’s a collapsed maul does he?

I believe that Bower is yet to make a carry as an AB. Good for 3 penalties though.

[kiwiinmelb]

Prefer the look of Reece on the left

[mariner4life]

That is a great forward pack try.

Wise words

Also I think Ardie does perfectly fine up route one, he's bloody awesome

Because Murphy is shit.

Havilii knee on the deck again and allowed to play on.

Good try savea

His skills are better used elsewhere. IMO.

[sparky]

Reece more effective on the Left wing than Bridge.

So is a scared hedgehog. Sorry, unfair. But Reece definitely more opportunistic and faster.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwiinmelb seems pretty animated in the huddles and talking to team mates

[Canes4life]

@mariner4life where, at 12?

He’s got his 2 metres, now he needs 10 tackles, 2 missed, and 2 penalties and we’ve got Owen Franks (minus the scrummaging) back.

[Old Samurai Jack]

AB forward pack rolling up their sleeves. I like it. Score irrelevant.
