The Silver Fern

Fiji do play a style that has troubled the Aussies. Lions will play very different and they weren’t great last night either

@reprobate said in All Blacks v France I:

CLW pretty good - solid, no errors, nothing that says to me that he'll be world XV and the winning of games against the best teams though, and I'd have to question how many stop-gaps we need.

An injury forced change given by the end of last year they had moved Sititi to #8 and it appeared to be where they wanted to go this year by naming CLW as injury cover as a specialist #8.

I suspect now he will make the TRC squad where Razor and co get to add a couple more permanently to the squad.

Yeah left off Rayasi who was superb.

Fiji 8, 12, 13, 23, 5, 9 were all excellent

They just showed another replay which eventually showed he got it to ground even with a Fijian hand under it.

Show that try again

I thought it was fine.

Fiji had plenty of chances to bury the game, but their hands let them down at crucial stages.

Fair to say that both sides are operating at around the same level these days.

There was no footage that actually showed a grounding. So unless there was something we didn’t see then sure award it. But the replay even showed a gap between the ball and ground

Show that try again

Looked like it got stuck on Wilson’s headgear

No try???

Play on. Why are we stopping?

I think Aussies were penalised at the breakdown so they came back to the original Fiji penalty.

Kuruvoli had a superb game. His replacement Baselala hasn’t been too bad so far.

Justice for a bad call on advantage.

Happened to the French last night didn't it??

Yeah I was just trying to remember if it was the French or Tahs that got a call like that.

Justice for a bad call on advantage.

Could’ve penalised the Wallabies a few times in that build up.

Take the 3.

Noooooo. The try goes begging.

Lazy Wallaby runner in the passing lane doesn’t get penalised and the ball even hits him

Offside surely?

The hands by the Fijian players, forwards and backs was brilliant. Soft hands putting the ball in front of the man. Great to watch.

Noah’s ankle looked to get crunched

Arghhhhhhhhh
