That was a poor missed tackle by Moala in the lead up to that try.

Crotty goneski. Looks like a bad injury.

Yep, just when I was thinking it'd be nice to get rid of Moala just after half time. And the Herald had questions about Leinert-Brown's defence......

[Stargazer]

Shit, that injury to Crotty looked bad. If he's out of the tour, who will they take out of the Maori ABs? Rieko?

[Stargazer]

Stupid comment from myself. Rieko already in the squad. The question should be, do they take someone out of the Maori ABs first, then who.

[Nepia]

@Stargazer Isn't Reiko already in the ABs, he was loaned to the Maori this weekend.

[ACT Crusader]

@Stargazer they've got ALB, Moala, Fekitoa plus Ioane, so no need for any extras

Our lineout sucks.

Naholo injured now

[Gunner]

Why the fuck did A Smith kick that away?
Gone the length with ball in hand, then kicks it away with no chaser when we get to the 22.
Dumb.

[dingo]

Decent bit of possession at last.

Pity it got mucked up

[Stargazer]

@ACT-Crusader Yes, you're probably right. If they want extra cover, I'd take Buckman out of the Baabaas if he's eligible (he has a NzRU/Highlanders contract but currently playing in Japan, so not sure).

[Rapido]

Crotty realising his 'time' is being taken from him. Knows that there are about 10 guys jostling for those 2 spots. God knows the lay of the land in 12 months or so when he's able to return.

Poor bugger.

[Donsteppa]

Dane Coles and Aaron Smith are regressing to the mean in a big hurry.

[No Quarter]

Our lineout is killing us.

[Gunner]

Half time cant come soon enough.
Does Hansen go the silent treatment, or tear them all a new one?
Id go the latter.

[kiwiinmelb]

WTF is going on in the lineouts ?

I think I read we are missing a couple of locks to injury...

[taniwharugby]

lineout sucks....

[Donsteppa]

Pace of the game is glacial.

[Mokey]

Uh yes, commentator, we do fucking need a specialist lock out there.

[Rapido]

Watching on slight delay, long injury break. Naive American ground PAs, dont they know you blast out 90s pop music during serious potential career ending injury delays.

Don't let the crowd clap.

[taniwharugby]

our restarts and taking of high balls sucks too
