The Redskins get destroyed at home by the Bears.
You'd think for the Redskins there has to be major change very soon - the Head Coach, GM and Defensive Coordinator are all on the hot seat big time.
The Redskins owner has an awful reputation and is a known meddler but even for him you'd think enough is enough. The fanbase has the pitchforks out big time.
A few of those bench Georgians made a serious impact. They should be starting. Especially the halfback.
Nice to see Welsh use the ball and play some attractive open footy.

Wallabies had a much better challenge against Fiji. Wales are barely out of 2nd gear here.
Except when carving the Georgian defence open from first phase ball.
What Georgian defence?

I am happy but I wouldn't get too carried away. We looked good against England in 99 pool play too which was a much hyped pool game from memory.
Rieko's problem is Bridge's game seems far better suited to today's test rugby. Perhaps that's an indictment on today's test rugby (seriously how many box kicks have their been already) but Bridge is superior in the air, Bridge has superior workrate, he's as good of a link player, and Bridge actually has a kicking game. Rieko is a better ball runner (when in form) but up against Boks/Ireland etc Bridge's skillset seems far more useful. For all Rieko's early career greatness - he's got the exact same game he had 2 years ago (plus his form on that is way down). He hasn't developed his game at all - why hasn't he been working on a kicking game?

I’m sure Wales just want to play and focus on the rugby after the scandal. Looking forward to this.
Hear hear
Wales odds on favourites?
@chimoaus what was the scandal? (I've obviously missed something here)
Assistant coach Rob Howley was sent home from the tournament over a possible breach of betting rules.
Last year the Auckland-Canterbury final was played earlier at 4pm nz time and did not clash with the ABs v Wallabies test in Japan later that night (7pm nz time).
I would imagine this year they will do something similar.
49ers overcame 5 turnovers to eek out a win vs the Steelers. 3-0 and a bye week coming up. Nice!
@Stargazer said in Auckland vs Wellington:
Nothing seems to work for Auckland. Not their game.
Not their season. Auckland have been poor the whole competition.
