Whitelock en route to join All Blacks in Japan
All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock flew out of Christchurch on Wednesday morning to join the side in Japan, but it is a fair guess he will avoid trampolines during the All Blacks' northern hemisphere tour.

Anyone know if the Japan match is being shown outside of NZ ie in UK?
Everything I’ve seen indicates it’s not being shown.
Been looking around for a bit, only thing I've seen is flo rugby, whatever that is.

Okay after this morning I reeeaaallly want to know what out defensive pattern out wide is
On those early exchanges when Wales tried to play wide their first attack RI took one guy, used his pace to get another, and that STILL left Clarke defending 2
I would write it off as a bad read saved except the exact same thing happened to ALB later in the game.
There's a risk/reward thing there and I would love to know the thinking.

Our defence was fucking excellent this morning

@KiwiMurph Not happy about that. I didn't want TJP anywhere near the ABs anymore. LF should have been given a chance against Scotland.

(aside: the deepest World Cup squad ever assembled also got bundled out in the quarters in that country's worst ever result. depth is overrated)
But Beaver!!

TJP brings something different. He is like a fourth loose forward. His passing is not top notch (you will say "poor"), but his physicality and experience could be effective under peculiar circomstances (heavy rain, for instance). However, I would have kept Weber and send Christie to the AB XV.

Agree 100%.

@mariner4life tbf this seems to be something alot of coaches do in nz, watch the majority of npc games and the defence is always set narrow like that.
So what I'm saying is McLeod is an npc level defence coach.
