All Blacks v Japan

Machpants

Fuck no one bothering to defend

LatsToTheMax

ABs just need to stand deeper on attack.

17-12 to the ABs. Defence is optional in this game.

Tim

@Machpants Everyone forgets that he was a disaster as AB head coach, and made the "powderpuff basketball rugby" cliche real.

Unlucky and it’s saved a lot of embarrassment
Telea being exposed again on the previous play

What? Where? When he was left defending 3 men?

Yeetyaah

No release in the tackle from the Japan #3

It's becoming apparent to me that careers have been made on the back of Sam Whitelock.

DMac runs sideways taking the space from Tele'a. Thankfully Cane was there.

We score a messy try in the corner. Razor will be ecstatic

We should crack 60 points today.

Has a mid table Super Rugby match feel to this fixture so far. Like a game of touch.

We should crack 60 points today.

And Japan should crack 30

Jesus that was so bad, DMac took up all the space, bloody crab

But clearly Plummer, who allows his outsides space to play, is not the answer

Cane in. ABs well ahead now.

We will learn fuck all from this. This aint a rugby match.

Well not real man's test rugby anyway

This offers zero preparation for playing England, Ireland and France away on consecutive weeks.

It's also kinda boring if I'm honest.

Great falcon by our captain.
