Ah well. It was nice while it lasted. Just too many errors and bad calls in the last 10 mins.

I think by the rules it's a yellow but are players not going to be allowed to tackle there in case the opponent passes it?

Every time something is shown in super slow mo it will look bad.

No. His looked at the ball and his arm stretched towards it.

They know what they're doing I think. They never complain when it's given so by their reactions you kind of guess.

His arm was in the same position before the AB tried the pass. Barely moved.

Thats why the ABs shouldn’t be allowed to play in black. Refs cant seem to pick up those things as easily against black jerseys

I don't know if it's because he brought a change of tactics from the coaches with him, but Perenara has brought a good deal of zip and NZ are keeping it in hand more.

It ought to be BK 10 FR 12 now.

And that Hogg (not) knock on has been the difference so far between winning and losing.

Arghh.

Those two missed chances on the Kiwi line were fatal.

The difference is when we had 14 men NZ scored two tries and when they had a yellow we didn't score one.

It's not the cleanest grounding, but I don't see that there's anything wrong with that.

Failure to take our chances against a beatable AB team was our downfall

Hard luck Scotland fans, that’s got to hurt. So many chances missed there

Congratulations NZ but we can only blame ourselves. If we had converted one of the 4 opportunities we might have had more belief going into the last 20.

Commiserations to our Scottish posters.

Easy to get a sense of the frustration..points left on the field there.
