All Blacks v Japan
-
Entertaining half of rugby.
ABs always on a hiding to nothing in a game like this
-
Tuipolotu, Sititi and Proctor the stand outs for me in that first half.

We're playing a team who are all about the razzle.
They are ranked 14th in the world.
And they're getting smoked accordingly.

SF had a good last 10 mins.

100%. The board meltdown is quite something.

OMG calm the fuck down. We haven't played in an age. We're playing a team who are all about the razzle. We've scored 43 in the first half not playing well still trying to find out feet. They're working things out. Relax.
Glad you think this is setting us up well for the next three games. I don't, this is dire rugby, and shit defending. We'll lose the next 3 unless things change and fast
You are jumping at shadows if you think we will play like this against England. And that’s without mentioning the weather conditions and pitch condition that will be nothing like this match.
It’s funny, these are the games that I don’t like DMac in because he gets a bit like an over excited school kid with $10 at the dairy. Thinks he can buy all the lollies in the shop but yet still needs to make good decisions because it’s still just $10….
He needs to show some leadership out there and control the game. A good opportunity to do so in the second half with the result pretty much concluded.

Fuck wake up boys. We’ll get done by the better teams if we turn up like this.
We won't turn up like this. Whether we like it or not these games are about entertainment and are basically 'friendlies' (I hate that word!)

Get Rieko back out on the wing and leave Billy Proctor at 13.

Something like this?
Pffft. Obviously fake. Their boots have 3 stripes.

Tbh with how crap we started it is impressive how many points we can score in a short amount of time. 43 in 30 mins, especially playing without wingers.
Our offense is a step above from previous years.
Pffft, they got smoked at home by Fiji and Italy.
Japan can't tackle.
Ok. And Englands TOP team (who are probably the 5th best team in the world currently) only put 50 on them, while we could hit 70-80 with a B team.
We're beating the clock currently and people are pissed it's quite astounding 😂

Be tempted to leave Roigard on for as long as possible. Looks a bit slow and rusty - needs as much game time as possible

Wouldn't say I'm personally pissed myself, but I'm not fooled by what I'm seeing either against crap opposition.
A fixture we're learning nothing from.

Sorry I've got a stutter

@African-Monkey thats the thing, cant be fooled by a big score, similarly by messy play given the way these games are played...we are shite and score too few or it was too easy and we score too many
