All Blacks vs Wales

[taniwharugby]

Similar to early in Aaron Smiths career, he gets rattled when his forwards aren't serving it up.

<p>Dingo, have you forgotten that Ben Smith started his AB career as a winger and played quite a bit of footy there at a high rate.<br><br>
Barrett textbook tackle.</p>

<p>Yeah, nah.....but, but, but.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think BB is basically more dangerous on attack than B Smith or our wingers, and I think he is much better defensively than he used to be. I think having both BB and B Smith on the field with AN Other is better than B Smith plus AN Other times 2</p>

<p>Did I mention patience? :think:</p>

<p>Good character building challenge staring down the barrell if we win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wholesale changes in the backline if we lose.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Should be a good 25 minutes, but I suspect we will have more running left down the straight. Still big ask for two debutants to be impact players here.</p>

Agree with Smithy, welsh defence is aggressive and rushing up well.

<p>Fark I could kick better than that</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Wales have to score in next ten to give themselves a chance of staying ahead.

[ACT Crusader]

Geez Kaino straighten up and draw the man. No he just shovels it on....

[taniwharugby]

Savea on for Cane

[sparky]

<p>1953 was the last time the All Blacks lost to Wales, 1994 was the last time the All Blacks lost at Eden Park.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>History is on the line here. Need a fired up and clinical last 20 minutes.</p>

<p>Honestly, since Jonah I don't think where the gameplan has been so intent in getting the ball to one specific AB in space. Tonight it's literally all about Nohalo, try something else Wales after an early lapse have him covered comfortably.</p>

[Billy Tell]

FFS. NZ goalkickers. Another standard kick missed by Cruden.

[Derm McCrum]

Jenkins in fire. Smashes Cruden and then gets across to put Naholo in touch.

[dingo]

<p>Ardie is awesome. The start of a great AB career.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and to be fair, despite being a Wellington fan, I've had my doubts in the past.</p>

[taniwharugby]

TMO time...naholo

[Crash]

<p>Wales continually slowing our ball down</p>

[No Quarter]

That's some body on the line shit from Naholo! Awesome try.
