What a finish
NZ took their foot off the gas
I daresay Kemara had too much foot on the pedal with that kick that went dead.....

Would like to see Godfrey at 10

Should never have been that close, but well done to come back
Won’t get a better chance to get an NZ scalp

Our scrum, lineout and maul defence is shockingly bad. Time for the forwards coaches to do some coaching.
For Wales last try there was virtually the same set up. It's not like they didnt know what was coming. Should have defended the maul way better than that.

After just watching there is still a soft underbelly in the forward pack. While the scrum had its moments I've never seen locks completely detached from their prop as Cahill was on one occasion.
The backs look slick when they get some front-foot ball but if the forwards can't front it's going to be a disappointing tournament.

Yep inexperience, let the excitement get to him? What we should maybe expect from U20s at times. Team looked good, thought Godfrey looked good at 15, but like the idea of him at 10. though it's a matter of fitting all aplayers in where they can?

@Stargazer Flanders looked handy in Wellington vs Aus I thought

@Bovidae Or, do you go down the route that we can't beat them at their game, so we go with mobility?
That's not going to help when you are defending lineout drives or in the scrum. Unless mobility also means going backwards - fast.
