Japan v All Blacks

[hydro11]

Time to switch on, lads.

[Tim]

Inside balls aside, they seem to have predicted our attacking patterns very well.

[JC]

This habit of letting runners past and trying to run them down from behind needs to go. And RM needs to stop kicking ball away with no contesting runners.

21 17 to NZ. Should be 17-14 to Japan but for some shit reffing

Or 14-14 if RM’s forward pass had been given in Ennor’s try

It was backward out of the hands, which is in the rules as not a forward pass.

Where I counted at least 2 in the passage leading up to the second Japan try, maybe 3.

[Tim]

@JC Aside from the short bombs to Clarke, our kick chase has been abysmal.

Yeah the one to the winger was well forward lol

For a player with a league background RTS falls off a lot of tackles.

21-17 abs

[broughie]

@Tim our kicks in general have been shit. Do we ever aim towards the side line or is all for depth, which seems useless?

He goes too high - he tackles like he thinks he's jerome kaino

[His Bobness]

They need to bin the uncontested up and unders. No shape in the forwards either. They started to take control after the Reece try and then switched to exhibition mode, letting Japan back in. Flakey, showboat, individualist rugby. Par for the course in other words.

I'm glad Mcleod is still defence coach....

Still having problems teaching his wonderful defense systems to the slow-learning backs apparently.

He lives a charmed life as a paid rugby coach, for a man who clearly contributes so little.

[Jailbreak7]

@Machpants cheers - bloody hell looks like japan making a good game of it

[broughie]

@Chris isn't he a fullback or winger in league? He really is being pigeon holed into the wrong position.

Still misses to many tackles for no matter we’re he starts.

Yeah they are. And abs playing pure foster

[Joans Town Jones]

Do we give the run on side another 20mins?

Jesus, it wasn't until 35 mins I heard George Bower's name.

[JC]

The fact McLeod thinks we were good in the first 30 mins is a worry

Samisoni in for Dane Coles. That makes me feel a bit better TBH.

Fell off a couple of tackles and not thrown straight a couple of times too (but not called)
