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

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

No f**king ruck.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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