Hanigan got folded a bit in the first match but was much better in contact in the next two.

And this is the source of all of the frustration. You either use the TMO consistently and check every tackle, which would entirely rule out aggrieved parties as every glancing blow or skewed clean out is getting carded equally, and in the process stretch out this already ridiculous game by...

Some off calls all series but overall the lack of a TMO and incessant interventions has been wonderful.

Ref is all over the shop with his advantage length. Just be consistent dude.

Lovey try by Japan, albeit streaky. But how did that touchy miss that earlier forward pass, literally right in front of him? ‍

Just finished watching then. A couple of other quick Reds observations: I thought the 8 was very good - good in contact and very busy. And the 13 is electric. Not much to look at - when he ran out I thought this kid could be in for a tough day but he’s just so nimble.

With Vunivalu, you could really see the raw potential. Just a weapon in contact. We could have used him more too - I did note one moment where he was cut out and the ball went to Hanigan on the wing, Vunivalu was visibly annoyed. Fair enough too! Still at sea positionally though and nowhere...

Please excuse this possibly ridiculous suggestion (it's Monday and I'm bored) but is Frost worth a thought at 6? He's got great athleticism for a big man.

Rapid thoughts. Horrible performance. Beaten fair and square. How can an All Blacks try be viewed from 20 angles from the TMO and Wilson’s not once? How can Slippers potential illegal tackle on Retalick (which was cleared) be looked at but nothing for Reece? It’s a shambles. Reiko continues to...

I really like Mehrtens. SBW is a dunce.

Haha weird, I came across that page just yesterday too. Brain cooked.

Reiko apparently unhappy with the boomerang response to the haka, calling it disrespectful. Farrrrrrrk me. Do we need to start genuflecting, eyes averted in reverence?

For those with better memories than me, is Tom Hooper injured? I’m very keen to see him run around at this level at 6.

I think Reg is just confirming that you have Foley at 3 point etc, as the order of your numbers differs to other posters.

When established idiots like Dan and Grant start wading in we know an issue has reached its nadir.

I’m rewatching now too and just finished the first half. I reckon the yellow card on Wright was very stiff. Penalty sure.

Twitter says Tupaea has done his MCL and ACL. I cannot believe some of those defending him - that’s on Swain.

I’m hoping for a performance of ice cold, accurate fury from us in response to last night.

I cannot believe how stupid that was from Ikitau. That ruck was clearly so vulnerable. Get the thing out.

I think so. Just posted a pic that I just saw on Twitter.
