@westcoastie heard that too, so good.
-
Maybe the two wings should’ve been Reece and bender
-
Is Rieko playing?

We're so fucking dumb.
Gifted you two try scoring positions and opportunities - notwithstanding Smith's superb finishing - and blown at least two great opportunities of our own.
This should be more like 21-17
Maybe. On the other hand NZ are normally notorious for scoring freakish tries, especially either side of half time. The score is a pretty fair reflection of things I think.
Your boys need to hold onto the ball for longer.

Playing as well Bridge ever did in the WC, which is to say he needs to get more involved.

That was some pass to put Bender in.
As I said earlier avoid or bypass the midfield.

I'm surprised he isn't trailing on the inside more on attack.

@Billy-Tell yes agree Jordie was always a big call. But you can’t compare selections for the semi final with this game. ABs all over Welch forwards so apart from a bit of discipline this is a one sided canter. Score should blow out 2nd half.

not much going his side of the field, defensively sound, made a few metres, lets get him in space eh?

You have to wonder if BB at 10 and BFA at 15 would have been the safer bet in that crunch game. Guess the coaches had a plan and had to stick with it, but BFA and Cane have shown their class so far.
And even in this game they are hiding Richie on the wing in defence.

Not much going his side? Aaron Smith made a great run down that side and for whatever reason Ioane wasn’t in position for a pass.
Then Coltman makes a run down that side and Ioane doesn’t take the pass.

@ACT-Crusader Smith had two opportunities to pass outside and used neither.
-
@MiketheSnow arrogant and graceless

That's cos Coltman biffed the pass horribly

Yep, let the winger beat the last defender. He’s programmed to have to kick ahead as Bridge can’t beat anyone on the outside.

But Rieko was trailing and should’ve been up and flatter.
