[RoosTah]

All Blacks very poor in the ruck tonight - really makes you see how much Richie did

Heres Wales chance to knock us over if they score before halftime they are every chance to win this.

 

[Tony Manx]

Love that dive from the NZ prop - Tom Daley would have been proud of it!!

Crowd reacted as if it was French!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So far on this performance Naholo would be getting dropped and probably never see an AB jersey again for mine. He's just damn lucky Milner Skudder is injured so I think he'll get another chance.

Savea would be dropped first based on today.

No try for me there.

That Welsh player would've got there before cruden, lol.

Yep we've dodged a couple of bullets in this game.

Great first half of rugby, really enjoyable. Some mistakes in defense from both sides, but it's really back and forth, lovely flow to the game.

Straight up man... If that was in South Africa, it would've been penalty try and yellow card to Aaron Smith.

 

[Bluemoon]

That last phase of play is why Wales won't win this game. Wales seem to always struggle to convert against the SH teams when in the red zone.

 

[Thingimubob]

So the rules have changed now, rugby matches are only 40mins from now on. Agreed? Tidy.

 

[Tony Manx]

Sublime to the ridiculous from NZ but great, great spirit from the Welsh and no little skill.

Working on the principle ABs start the season badly, I would be very worried for the next game as the sublime bit without the mistakes (and maybe better defensive wingers) will see some fabulous rugby from this team!

 

[AzaMatt]

This game is really entertaining to watch, no idea where this Wales team have come from, we're playing like its the 2011 World Cup again. Must be something in the New Zealand air!

 

[Peat]

Never been happier to wake up early in my entire life! Have a feeling they'll regret not getting some points off of that.

 

[martinspoonboy1]

ABs to have a kick up the butt at HT and win by 22

 

[Ka_Mate]

Crotty runs poor lines

 

[AzaMatt]

AWJ been subbed!? Oh dear

 

[Thingimubob]

Cracking tackle from Webb. Couple of selfish runs from the AB's though when the pass was on.

 

[Bluemoon]

AWJ been subbed!? Oh dear

I'm guessing they didn't want risk that knock to his jaw.

Wales need some consistent possession this half. NZ are dominating it so far.

 

[McTallshort]

Chances on New Zealand blaming Wayne Barnes if they lose?

 

[Thingimubob]

JD2 you knob! Why go for that stupid looping pass?! North is looking bloody dangerous though!
