2019 NZ Schools

Stupid crawling from Ruben Love, and the Aussies get the ball back.

[Crazy Horse]

The Blacks are doing some good stuff and ruining it all with basic errors and stupid plays. Very disappointing son far.

[Stargazer]

Game management from our 10 seriously lacking; our frontrow being bossed. Midfield, do we have one? The wings not getting any ball.

[Crazy Horse]

@Stargazer yeah I am not sure the midfield knows how to pass.

Impressed by our lineout and Segner has been good over the ball.

There is some class in that Aussie team.

[Stargazer]

Geezus, finally some forward momentum and then the Aussies steal the ball on their try line, their hooker runs the length of the field and only one player can keep up with him, narrowly preventing the try.

HT. NZ Schools 0 - 12 Aussie Schools

Looked to be an unlucky call against the Aussies to see the try disallowed.

We're just going left to right, and back. Can't break the line (except, for example, that awesome run from Segner), constatnly trying to crash into the tackle instead of passing. Too many handling errors, but the decision-making is even worse.

Hard watch. Lack X factor players at mo. To me our issue is defence, we looked surprised that Aussies are good! Not aggressive or organised and no talk compared to Aussie D. Need attitude adjustment here. 2nd or attack is easy to read, looks so basic and repetitive and doesn’t help our 9 is very slow to breakdown which means Aussie d is set. Maybe some territory needed and play off our lineout which is impressive.

[Higgins]

Just a quick reminder that The Hammateur if allegedly coaching the home team.

[Stargazer]

I've now seen several times that Aussie players are illegally taking out defenders. Not spotted/penalised by the ref.

[Stargazer]

And now a penalty to the Aussies.

15 - 0 to Oz

[Stargazer]

Oh, shit, Segner injured.

[Stargazer]

So the best player in the NZ squad is now replaced. Segner didn't look good.

[Stargazer]

Another penalty goal for the Aussies, who now lead 18 - 0

[Stargazer]

C'mon, get that ball to Murray.

[Stargazer]

Geez, another great opportunity gone.

[Stargazer]

That was a great try from Cam Church. Finally!

[Stargazer]

The conversion is good.

18 - 7 to Aussie Schools
