-
Nice try Wales. <br><br>
Superb conversion by Biggar. <br><br>
Didn't expect that halftime score -

Fuck... Bring back Beaver.</p></blockquote>

Horrible clearing kick from Barrett. Then he follows it up with an awful attempt at tackle on Davies.<br><br>
Horrible. -
ABs just have to get their hands on the ball. Very ordinary execution.
-
10-10 at the half.<br><br>
Now the challenge for Wales, as always, is to play for 80 minutes and find a way to counter our bench. -
interesting position , and barrett on early playing 10, weakens the usual impact for later

That half time score is actually very common for the ABs. We very rarely blow teams off the park in the 1st 40. It's when we start bringing world class players with fresh legs on in the 2nd 40 that we usually put the game to bed. -

Of the newbies, Naholo and Crotty are doing well. Fekitoa still not convincing.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Agreed. Seta looked great out there for his 10 minutes. Fekitoa on the other hand has been ropey. Pull him. -
Good by Wales so far, although missing North hugely in attack.<br>
Dagg has been superb, love watching him play.<br>
Hope Cruden is OK. -
Shit half of rugby from the All Blacks. <br>
Too many errors, looked like they were rushing everything early on. <br>
Poor kicking, not giving the Ben Smiths of this world any chance of getting under the high kicks to re gather.<br><br>
Come on lads, lift your game. -
Wales playing better than last week.<br><br>
ABs playing a little worse.<br><br>
Some dumb errors. Fekitoa ..<br>
Bloody obvious.<br><br>
Control the ball lads. <br><br>
We're struggling to get over the advantage line too.<br><br>
Liked what i saw of Tamanivalu. I'd hook Gekitoa (not due to above error but due to how good Seta looked).<br><br>
Worrying injury for Cruds. Wasn't concussion more of a crush thing.<br><br>
Good test for Beaudy.<br><br>
Last week was confident if we just held the ball we'd win easy. This week we need to step up considerably. -
Read & Dagg standing out. <br><br>
Crotty & Fekitoa is not the future of the ABs midfield. At the very least they should swap jerseys. Thought Tamanivalu looked OK in his brief cameo.<br><br>
Our backline defence is still a bit at sea without Conrad. -

<p>I'd like to see the replay. Who passed it to BB and were they already inside the 22.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like last week though, I think being all square at half time with some bad luck (Cruden injury) will contribute to a new look leadership team learning and growing. The calmness under stress that was the norm in the Richie era wasn't created overnight, it was created by tragedy, bad luck, yellow cards and honest reflection.</p>

<p>it's about where the phase started (last ruck/lineout/scrum), and that was outside the 22 I'm pretty sure</p> -

<p>Crotty has been great on defence thus far. I'd like to see a Crotty - Tamanivalu combo. Might work better than Fekitoa.</p> -

<p>TBF I've enjoyed Panhead and Garage Project tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fekitoa has been hooked at half time!</p>
