All Blacks XV v Japan

[ACT Crusader]

But even with glaring issues you can sometimes live with them if there are other things that they are doing and the other option has issues too.

Or you throw all of that out the window and just select the guy that plays in red n black….

The NZ XV side almost looks more settled than the ABs!

First Brave Blossoms Team for 2023 Announced for All Blacks XV Clash

Japan Head Coach, Jamie Joseph has today named the Brave Blossoms team to take on the All Blacks XV this Satur…

[Stargazer]

I think that Japanese team looks very similar to last week's team, but with last week's bench players starting and some starters moving to the bench.

[Bovidae]

No Dearns.

[Nepia]

Bell is one funny looking mofo.

[Duluth]

Nareki almost fucked that try up

Yeah, Weber saved that for him.

[Canes4life]

Love sets up Proctor for the first try.

[Canes4life]

Perofeta in after easily slicing through the Japanese backline.

[Duluth]

Perofeta nice step. AJ Lam with a good chase at kickoff to setup the turnover

[Duluth]

There was no advantage from that scrum pen

[Duluth]

Shit from Nareki again

[gt12]

How many errors from Nareki?

[Canes4life]

Lovely from Proctor again. Try no 2 for him tonight. The Goodhue and Proctor centre combo looks classy.

[Duluth]

@Canes4life

Proctor has been defending well too. Some good work just before Strange got isolated and Japan scored

[Duluth]

That’s better Nareki

[Grooter]

Great from Nareki and Proctor

[Duluth]

Even better from Goodhue

Fantastic 40 20 and try set up from nareki. Yes he screwed up a couple of times. But, it is all about pumping the positive.
