It was a smith joke

[chimoaus]

I do wonder if they go out in games like this with a very loose game plan and they are not allowed to use any moves from the powder keg.

that became a Batman joke. Which to be fair has been better than the game.

And they accuse me of being too serious ...

@kiwiinmelb @taniwharugby check @Stargazer post!

[Victor Meldrew]

We should get this R D Surveyor bloke the ITV commentators keep talking about in the team for the big games.

[taniwharugby]

@Bones fark scrolling back up through the chicken littleing!!

[canefan]

Frog ref allowing that forward pass on the namibian attack, paying it forward?

[Yeetyaah]

@Jailbreak7 Frizzell almost leaked a try after poor defence.

[sparky]

A below par first half from the ABs. Cane and Aaron Smith out of sorts. ALB and Ben Smith excellent.

A gutsy display by Namibia. But it is still a side ranked 23 in the world against the team ranked number 1. I suspect the ABs will score another 4 or 5 tries in the second half.

[canefan]

Just saw the replay of our first try. That JB cross kick was hopeless. 🤔

[Machpants]

All looking a bit like Oz.

[chimoaus]

Foxtel blokes saying A Smith had a shocker, anyone else see this or just Aussie bias?

[MrDenmore]

Stephen Hoiles on Fox getting stuck into the ref over the yellow card on Laulaula and allowing time-wasting by the Namibians

[Siam]

Namibian hit BFA on the face as he scored. Contact to the head innit?

[Damo]

It's all good. 4 tries is the same as we got against Canada in the first half as well.
I suspect Namibian resistance won't last much longer. Some of their players looked out on their feet at the end of the first half.
I'd like to see 6 tries in the second half.

[African Monkey]

@chimoaus He has been poor tbh, but that's all good. No need to be at your best against these guys.

Jesus ..keep calm people, we have watched some of the tier 2 nations over do the kicking..the difference is Namibia are holding the ball and having a crack..full credit to them, I would rather the All Blacks are being challenged as opposed to having an unopposed training run..
If there is something to be disappointed about is our tackle height..saw several in the first half that were far too high..culminating in Laulala getting a YC..we should be using the cross kick a little more.
