All Blacks v Wales Test #3

ACT Crusader

Unlucky by Moala, probably should've just gone to ground rather than the kick.

Moala has given the midfield a more direct look about it

mariner4life

So far he's made breaks through the middle; using power; and on the outside shoulder with pace. It's a decent first half. 
Dagg huge, pack doing well. Good performance because the Welsh aren't playing badly

Huge opportunity missed before h/t by Wales. One Welsh hand looked to have grounded the ball but didn't go upstairs ? Strange one. 
We're being outplayed out wide though, pace of NZ back 3 is killing us. 
It's going to be a long night.

Dagg and Smith together is so slippery

My god, Moala reminds me of early Nonu. 
Equal parts 'wow!' And equal parts 'you fucking muppet!'

Ref missed two abs cleared beyond the ruck off the ball</blockquote>
 
This 
Ref missed a couple of things against them and called against us. 
Good ti whinge about ref :) 
Obstruction ar first kick off then he calls it against us.

Cane is having his worst AB game so far</blockquote>
 
Sorry can't agree. 
Reckon he's having a huge game. 
Unfortunately Richie didn't gift him the cloak of invisibility

booboo

Ben Smith & Dagg are having blinders
So is Moala. But you just know he was the ball-greedy kid at school. Botched a certain try by not drawing and passing (and then maybe knocking on)
Cane is cynical. But unlike McCaw he doesn't get away with it. 
Biggest loser of this half - Fekitoa: Moala is making hay.</blockquote>

Very disappoointing. Francis was on his feet when he dabbed the ball.

If you're fucking thick enough to continually kick the ball to NZ's two best strike runners then you deserve to get buried.

Thought the disallowed moala try was a try and also think Wales scored near the end so I guess 1 each

Not selecting pace on the bench is going to kill us.
 
It's killing us on the pitch.
 
J Davies, Amos and Patchell off the pace in defence allowing Barrett, Ben and Dagg too much space.
 
If Liam Williams goes off we're proper fucked.

MiketheSnow

Third test in a row that we've blown scrum attack just before half-time. You'd swear the Welsh players were being tazered ever time they touch the ball.

Hope Welsh tighthead doesn't get vertigo! Moala straightens attack noticeably better than in last two weeks. that said, Crotty has been good, but not a big enough unit to force through closer in. Having spotted much of Dixon.

taniwharugby

Jeez, Dagg looking better than he probably ever has?

Hooroo

I just jinxed Crotty. Just saying how well he is playing and he loses ball in tackle.

Hooroo

Dixon been a bit ho hum

kiwiinmelb

How do they fit Lima in ? I thought earlier Dagg , with Barrett going to FB , but not now

taniwharugby

BB in, but was Ben Smith doing something illegal there pulling the defender like that's?
