Japan XV v All Blacks XV

[Canes4life]

Lol Ruben Love has cleared more rucks than most of the forwards.

This is dreaful. Same issue the Blues have, going too wide too early. Reckon Razor takes plenty of control, but if Leon runs the attack, we might not be home free.

I hope Macmillan sticks around. I really rate him. Hes been a tonic for the Chiefs, and I am hoping he may find his way into Razor's set up given time.

[Steven Harris]

Some superb footwork and pace from Akira

[Canes4life]

@Steven-Harris about time he did something.

[Stargazer]

Uggh, is Ruben Love a better kicker than Perofeta?

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus I'd say it is a tactic given how often him or Tom R would be stationed wide for the blues.

No point putting Ioane on the wing if you can't get the ball there.

A continuation of MacDonald's remarkably effective tactic of putting the loose forwards on the wing that he used against the Saders.

[Duluth]

Love is not better than Zarn

[Machpants]

Perofeta hooks another, 6-8 30 mins

[Victor Meldrew]

Great pick up by Numia

Love should stick to rucks, that was an appalling pass to Japan.

Jeez there's some silly shit going on, calm down boys

[Bones]

I understand it's undesirable weather, but fuck me there is a distinct inability to draw and pass here.

[taniwharugby]

@Frank if your pack is working together I think it works better.

I think you right.. i just don't think its the best use of him....

8-6 to NZ XV after 31min.

And then a complete failure to feed the space.

[Canes4life]

@Duluth just let Love get through a game or two before making that sort of judgement. He hasn’t played all year remember.

Nice Du Plessis

[Machpants]

Good tackle, and great turn over by Kirifi

[Machpants]

Jesus missed touch, amateur hour
