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.

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

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.

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.

[Canes4life]

Nice Du Plessis

[Machpants]

Good tackle, and great turn over by Kirifi

[Machpants]

Jesus missed touch, amateur hour

[Stargazer]

Geez Numia.

[nostrildamus]

I would have swapped some of the bench (eg Harmon) for some of the starters.

Has he played at this level before? Seems overawed or something, usually excellent handling and vision for a prop.

[Steven Harris]

@Canes4life from a very good low tackle from Strange

[Canes4life]

Should we be really worried that both McDonald and Holland are in the ABs coaching setup next year.

I think that's generally the idea of the bench, yeah

[Jailbreak7]

Why kick
