Worries me if this is the conditions we are going to play in is this helter skelter game going to win the play off games we are putting ourselves under a lot of pressure.

Think other top teams aren't exactly revelling in the sticky humid conditions either. 19-12 for example.

Or Scotland v Samoa.

Can't read much into this game.

In general the A teamers in the side look better than the B teamers.

That didn't take twitter long ..

Fuck off Jimmy

[Tim]

I'm most interested to see where, and how well, Ben Smith plays.

[booboo]

Okish.

Holding the ball would be handy.

[Victor Meldrew]

Looks like the ABs could be playing at pace to get used to the conditions - slippery balls and all that.

Yep and to put some pressure on that Canada can't give

Jimmy Nobody

TJP, I’m a fan. You’re the best support running 9 and defensive halfback in NZ. But give yourself an uppercut for that diving over the ruck, in the corner, no space to move, glory boy, try attempt. That was laughable.

A random twit on Twitter I guess

Agree.

No need to take the high risk option v Canada

[Stargazer]

It looked like Goodhue is going to be subbed at half time.

[booboo]

So. Lotsa chalk all over hands and jerseys in attempt to hold the ball?

[African Monkey]

Why do people care so much about us being below par in games like this? As long as we don't lose any key players, then everything's all good.

@Victor-Meldrew said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool :

Some comical-looking handling errors from the AB's. SBW hasn't contributed,

Oh, the irony.

You missed his outstanding offload for the Canada nearly try?

ITV did a segment on his good involvement, really varied. Has the Canada defence all over the show.

[Damo]

I don't think we've been subpar. Quite a few handling errors but we are looking good with the ball in hand.

[kiwiinmelb]

I remember at the last WC , they were playing a little strange in the pool stages, and shag told everyone to relax , we are just practicing scenarios.

Reckon we're playing ok. Just dropping the ball. If that makes sense.
