A bit of Fiji excitement there

[Ymx]

Nice try Fiji

[OomStruisbaai]

Nice try Fiji

[Torquemada 1420]

Hurrah. One for the good guys

[stunt_cunt]

Never seen Fiji have that stretch of actual dominance over an All Black side ever. Solid looking action there.

[Torquemada 1420]

FFS Volavola.

Fitness and structure amongst the fwds the best I've seen. Playing in Fra and Eng seems to be helping now.

[Ymx]

A pretty high tackle no??

[Torquemada 1420]

Botia's tackling technique on the borderline dangerous again.....

[stunt_cunt]

BB looking like he’s just walked out the UFC cage after 30 second first round knockout.

[Ymx]

That was brainless running without support by Fiji 10

[Kawazaki]

Why is Radradra not playing?

[Torquemada 1420]

F**k off Volavola you showpony twonk.

[Torquemada 1420]

No f**king ruck.

Total inconsistency after the last one: "No. No. No. Oh........ okay then".

[Ymx]

The commentary Marshall in particular is clueless about rugby laws.

Surprised Smithy entertained his stupidity

[Ymx]

Sotutu greedy idiot

[Gumboot]

Ropey old first half. We're getting killed at the breakdown. Retallick looks well short of a gallop. Tuipulotu can't catch a kick-off. Havili doing a lot right then getting in the way. Bower the stand-out front rower, Taylor and Laulala have been average.

Early replacements, please!

[Tichtheid]

Why is Radradra not playing?

He must be carrying a knock, same with Yato, Mata missed the end of the season with Edinburgh iirc.

[stunt_cunt]

Good turnaround for Fiji to tighten up, they lapsed out for a few mins and let a couple tries in but sorted it right out and finished that last 20mins strong.

[Gumboot]

Reckon Jacobson might be a better openside than Blackadder.

[Kiwias]

Reckon Jacobson might be a better openside than Blackadder.

Blackadder is a 6 (or 8 at a stretch) so naturally Foster picks him at 7.

[stunt_cunt]

That was a decent spurt for a fat bloke.

[OomStruisbaai]

The ref is a gamble at the breakdowns. Fiji played well so far.

[Tichtheid]

It’s difficult to argue a late tackle when the bloke still has hold of the ball when he hits the deck after said tackle

[Kiwias]

Havili having a seriously good game

[OomStruisbaai]

We have a game here

[Raggs]

It’s difficult to argue a late tackle when the bloke still has hold of the ball when he hits the deck after said tackle

Late in terms of the whistle had gone a while ago. The suggestion it was a shoulder charge was absolute bull though.

[stunt_cunt]

All Blacks haven’t been playing badly either. It’s all been quite a clever show from both sides for the most of it.

[Kiwias]

Sotutu passed to Blackadder far too soon

[OomStruisbaai]

Game over.

Now he dish out a stupid yellow. P

[Torquemada 1420]

Williams feels ABs in need of some assistance.

[ASMO]

Ref is terrible and i mean terrible.

[Tichtheid]

Ah, my man Yato is on, I missed his name in the lineups, watch out if he gets ball in hand

[Torquemada 1420]

F**k off. Coles straight in the side off his feet there. Clueless reffing.

[Ymx]

Being on feet seems optional to ref.

Anyhooo

[Torquemada 1420]

Being on feet seems optional to ref

Yup. Both sides now opting for diving over the rucks.

[Raggs]

If that cut takes 2 stitches you'd be making more holes to fix it.

[Tichtheid]

Gwan Fiji

[stunt_cunt]

Bloody good effort and deserved.
