Japan v All Blacks

[Damo]

Japan just off a 3 match series against Australia A. I get that not all of them were playing but I can't help but feel this could be a cock up from us.

I just hope we are on our game.

@Damo And 65,000 fans in a big stadium. If it is a headless chook, classic Foster performance by the Blacks, it could be a long night.

A couple of cards by the crazy Georgian would make things more interesting

[Damo]

Samisoni in for Dane Coles. That makes me feel a bit better TBH.

Dalton must've lost a bet

[Stargazer]

For who didn't hear the commentary:

Coles out (injured his calf again during warm-up), Taukei’aho starting, Taylor on the bench.

@Machpants During NPC he had coloured his hair pink for that pink sock game. So I assume this was an attempt to get his normal hair colour back.

[Damo]

Japan not really challenging at the breakdown.

[Machpants]

God our kicking is shit

Great tackle by Richie

Where the hell was our kick chase? Great tackle Mo'unga.

Two hands at the lineout Tupou

[SouthernMann]

Loving this from Japan. Hope they give this a real shake.

[Tim]

We are not challenging at the ruck.

[KiwiMurph]

Good kick Ennor

[Machpants]

Very much a foster game plan so far. No depth, shit short kicks everywhere.

Might be wary of this ref

We are shit so far. Our loosies look disinterested and our lineout isn’t functioning. Kicking game is average aswell.

Pretty much as expected
