Japan vs All Blacks

@stargazer said in Japan vs All Blacks:

Welcome back, Coles!

Oh how we've missed him!

Have we? Ioane has looked pretty good on the wing in his absence.

Would Richie be an AB if Lima stayed ?

Was that a blessing in disguise ?

Donsteppa

That’s better. Quick points on this Japanese side and they’ll tackle even less than they are now.

Stargazer

Typical Mo'unga try.

Duluth

Terrible defence

Stargazer

@kiwiinmelb Yes. The signs were there. Mo'unga would have overtaken Lima this year, whether he stayed or not.

Rancid Schnitzel

Nice try but atrocious defence. This game should be over by half time.

No and yeah.

Stargazer

Easy peasy. Try Laumape.

sparky

Laumape will be first-choice All Black second five for the World Cup.

No Quarter

Eek, Japan getting smacked by our C team isn't the greatest advertisement for the RWC.

Stargazer

@no-quarter Is this their strongest line-up?

Stargazer

Even against this poor Japan team, Jordie isn't looking good. Bring on Bridge!

Stockcar86

Jordie is crap. Since Buckman is already in Japan can we drop JB and bring Barracuda into the squad?

Stargazer

Seriously, this "try" should go to the TMO. Was it grounded at all.

Now handbags.

Toddy

Who threw the intercept?

Edit: TTT

MrDenmore

Jordie’s confidence is absolutely shot. Everything he’s trying is not coming off. Last game in black surely.

No Quarter

Japan getting some pretty favourable decisions go their way.

Donsteppa

That play looked like the Blues playing the Sunwolves. Complacency and waiting for someone else to do the hard work.

Nepia

Jordie’s confidence is absolutely shot. Everything he’s trying is not coming off. Last game in black surely.

He's on the main tour so he'll play another test at least.

Interesting that didn't go up to the TMO.
