Japan vs All Blacks

[kiwiinmelb]

Would Richie be an AB if Lima stayed ?

Was that a blessing in disguise ?

[Donsteppa]

That’s better. Quick points on this Japanese side and they’ll tackle even less than they are now.

[Stargazer]

Typical Mo'unga try.

[Duluth]

Terrible defence

[Stargazer]

@kiwiinmelb Yes. The signs were there. Mo'unga would have overtaken Lima this year, whether he stayed or not.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Nice try but atrocious defence. This game should be over by half time.

No and yeah.

[Stargazer]

Easy peasy. Try Laumape.

[sparky]

Laumape will be first-choice All Black second five for the World Cup.

[No Quarter]

Eek, Japan getting smacked by our C team isn't the greatest advertisement for the RWC.

[Stargazer]

@no-quarter Is this their strongest line-up?

[Stargazer]

Even against this poor Japan team, Jordie isn't looking good. Bring on Bridge!

[Stockcar86]

Jordie is crap. Since Buckman is already in Japan can we drop JB and bring Barracuda into the squad?

[Stargazer]

Seriously, this "try" should go to the TMO. Was it grounded at all.

Now handbags.

[Toddy]

Who threw the intercept?

Edit: TTT

[MrDenmore]

Jordie’s confidence is absolutely shot. Everything he’s trying is not coming off. Last game in black surely.

[No Quarter]

Japan getting some pretty favourable decisions go their way.

[Donsteppa]

That play looked like the Blues playing the Sunwolves. Complacency and waiting for someone else to do the hard work.

He's on the main tour so he'll play another test at least.

Interesting that didn't go up to the TMO.

That one-handed touchdown by Laumape was Akira-like in its lack of respect.
