June International Test: New Zealand vs. Wales [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

That handoff from Davies sent the defender into the earth's core.
 
That should wake up the blacks!! Bit after the Lord Mayor's show though!
 
NZ completely taken the foot off the gas.

Great fend from Davies though haha
 
Well.... I don't think the Dagg experiment worked. Ben Smith, compared to Dagg, is wasted on the wing. I want Ardie Savea to start. Wouldn't mind seeing TJ start too. I guess Hansen will choose Sopoaga to start next week, should be interesting. The ABs will still be waiting on Ngatai, because Crotty has nothing on him.

Wales know one thing, Amos and Patchell are not international standard.

I only turned on at half time, and that's harsh on Patchell? Thought he added an extra dimension to us in attack, much like he did for the Blues this season. He's very good at being an extra playmaker and putting players in a bit of space.

Plus as other have said, he arrived on Monday, played on Tuesday then started today.
 
The All Blacks midfield is not as good as the 3 that made the All Blacks great last year. Saw this last week and this week confirmed it. Hansen step ahead though and realising this ages ago hence his resigning of SBW.

All Blacks need SBW.

All Blacks need SBW.

Ngatai makes this team completely different.
 
I thought patchell was outstanding. Having an extra playmaker worked pretty well. Our hookers need a kick up the backside though, we were terrible on our own line outs
 
I'm watching this about 1/2 an hour behind, how was that a dive by Williams?! He got taken out in the air and he never looked to be milking it, he was just hurt.

Maybe I'm missing something though.
 
Yeah but is not as rounded as SBW. Don't forget SBW and his BIG HUGE plays for NZ last year.

Hansen is on to it. If he felt Ngatai should be there then yeah but no, not yet anyway. SBW needs to be there.

Ngatai is injured...what are you talking about? He's been the best 12 in Super Rugby this year.

George Moala got pulled in as cover for Ngatai..

Not as rounded? Wow. What are you talking about? Ngatai this year, has been better than Money Bill in any of his Super Rugby seasons.

Well he hasn't yet. I don't think he's even played for the ABs yet. Good player though just not proven yet.

Calm down. Does everyone here have to agree with you? Is that what you want? Ffs calm down.

On about a later incident mate! People overstating it imo, Naholo did put his shoulder into him off the ball. Admittedly he was happy enough to go down and get the pen, but wasn't exactly a light impact from Naholo!

Why are you telling me to calm down? You clearly don't know what you're talking about. You didn't even know he was injured, so why comment about centre pairings and SBW?
