New Zealand v Wales, 3rd Test

[galumay]

Good first half from the AB's, wonderful ball movement, the backs on fire. Probably lucky not to have a man in the bin with the cheating when the Welsh were attacking late in the first half, but thems the breaks dominate teams tend to get.

Has the 2nd half started?

 

[ACR]

Sam Cane runs around like a headless chicken, makes some tackles but he is COMPLETELY ineffective at the ruck.

 

[zer0]

I think he might be feeling the heat from A.Savea. It'll probably only get worse as Gibson also comes into the reckoning (I've excluded Todd as he seems to be on the black list, for some reason).

 

[Bardon]

I really don't get why Wales are kicking back to 14 men especially as their kicking game has been so poor today.

Indeed, as he should be. I don't think he's smart enough to be a world class 7.

Same Cane for pulling the scrumhalf into the ruck. They're back to 15 now.

Cane needs to borrow Rutchie's cloak.

I think Richie's got confiscated by customs. However he could just grab a different one

So the All Blacks are now fielding five wingers or fullbacks. That must be some kind of record.

 

[Bardon]

The game in terms of the result is over now so Wales can score a try or two in the last quarter when there's no pressure. That way Gatland can take positives from the tour.

The reality is the same problems are still there in this Wales team when they face top class opposition. Gatland still doesn't have the answer. They've some decent youngsters in the team and around the wider squad. It's a pity someone else won't get to work with them for a least a couple of years.

 

[The torpedo]

Try Dane Coles. ABs 37-6 @ 62 mins

 

[Upthenuts]

barrets done well with the start, shown more spark, too many quality backs to fit in the team

 

[The torpedo]

Conversion kicked. 39-6

If Carisbrook was the House of Pain, is F-BS the Dome of Doom?

 

[ACR]

Backs coming out of our ears. Liam Squire has had some quality involvements.

It's not much of a dome though. More of a box. The box of hard knocks?
