Daffy Jaffy

@Stargazer Your thoughts on the penalty count?

cgrant

Not a convincing half for the boys in black. Lateral passing from the midfield without any penetration. Etene Nanai-Seturo has no space everytime the ball reaches him.
Finau and Newell playing well up front.

Stargazer

@Daffy-Jaffy There were a few questionable penalties IMO, but they should be careful with this ref/TMO.

Stargazer

Georgia have replaced their entire frontrow already. Also one of their locks.

Stargazer

That was a weak scrum from NZ. Norris the weakest link in the frontrow.

Stargazer

NZ penalised for collapsing the driving maul. Georgia go for the line-out.

Stargazer

This time their line-out drive is successful. First try for the Georgians, scored by their no. 4.

19 - 13 NZ

Stargazer

Geez, Reihana. Really not good enough.

Stargazer

Line-outs in first half went very well, but now overthrown twice. Tired?

Stargazer

Funaki replaces Carter at halfback.

Stargazer

Well done by Flanders at the back of the scrum. Unfortunately, followed by a bad kick from Reihana.. The Georgian kicker missing touch though, so we stay in possession.

Stargazer

Fainga'anuku scores off a great pass from Funaki! That Kereru-Symes - Newell combo is working well, too!

Stargazer

Reihana misses the conversion.

24 - 13 NZ

Stargazer

The line-outs are working well again.

NZ's tempo has gone up considerably.

Stargazer

Klein has replaced Kereru-Symes.

Stargazer

I'm glad I don't have to pronounce those Georgian names.

Seems you just need to mumble something and add "...villi" on the end

Ding dong match Arg v Wales

22-20 Arg with 20 mins to go

Stargazer

Some good passing leads to a try to Tupaea. Last pass from McLeod, after a great offload from Fainga'anuku.

Reihana converts the try.

31 - 13 NZ

Stargazer

Billy Proctor comes on for McLeod.
Dyer on for Norris.
