All Blacks vs. B&I Lions test #1

Crash

Brodie always makes the right decisions - he, Kaino and Cane have been immense so far

ACT Crusader

Moody is a mad dog on the field

He and Franks have been going off at the collisions.

And did I read that that there were some that didn't rate Read. He's also been very effective early on.

Stargazer

Read is playing like he's never been injured. Great return, straight into black.

reprobate

Like how we are positioning whitelock to pressure Murray's kicks. He's still nailing them though the little fucker.

No Quarter

Great clearance A Smith.

Derm McCrum

Excellent kick by Murray

MiketheSnow

Cane is on fire ....

MOTM so far

Ben smith playing like a fluffybunny, tow him!!!

Tordah

Aaron Smith playing his best game since at least 2015 so far

Derm McCrum

Like how we are positioning whitelock to pressure Murray's kicks. He's still nailing them though the little fucker.

So far. 😄

Dagg looking like the rock at the back at the moment. Others not filling in/covering so well.

Stargazer

Dagg is awesome. Try saving tackle, catching the high balls, picking up those difficult balls, making life difficult for those Lions.

@ACT-Crusader any non-cantabs going alright?

ACT Crusader

Yeah Murray's box kicks are excellent.

Beauden with a scratchy pass but Dagg does well.

antipodean

The Lions are throwing a jumper to simply get a hand in BFA's basket which is making him spill them forward.

kiwiinmelb

next try is massive , not sure the lions have the firepower to play catch up

MiketheSnow

FUCK ME we just can't let the ball do the work and put men in space

Stargazer

So far, that Williams-Crotty midfield combo is working very well!

Nepia

Yay, Rieko touched the ball ... in midfield.

Donsteppa

Can't rush defence one out if people pick n go through you
