June International Test: New Zealand vs. Wales [1st Test] (11/06/2016)

[Ka_Mate]

Pathetic stuff from the Welsh already really, if you're going to deliberately lie all over the ball like that, you can go home.

 

[Tony Manx]

50 seconds and a whinge about Barnes already......pretty predictable!

Have to say the ABs looking mighty with their movement, speed, handling and offloads after just 5 minutes.

ABs looking so dangerous. This could be a long 80 mins for Wales.

To be fair there's nothing saying they can't use those tactics, they'll just get pinged all game.

Ah give over. Was clearly holding on. Barnes has always been awful at calling them, no matter who is playing - it's just his "style". Likely gonna advantage NZ as it looks like they'll be keeping hold of the ball a hell of a lot better than us, which is to be expected.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wtf!!!!!!

 

[martinspoonboy1]

YES Wales!

 

[Thingimubob]

Great try! Get in there boys!

 

[dullonien]

Great try! Hopefully that gives us some confidence.

 

[austingtir]

Surprisingly well worked try there by Wales. Colour me impressed. They looked totally unimpressive up till then though it has to be said.


Naholo twice now. Jesus he's not doing his prospects any favours.

 

[dullonien]

2 forward passes from webb not picked up by Barnes. Roberts needs to hold his run just a fraction.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lovely kick by Cruden.

 

[Tony Manx]

Super Welsh try nullified by Savea making up for his pathetic tackle attempt to make the first try possible!

 

[martinspoonboy1]

Good try. V poor by Amos.

 

[dullonien]

Far too easy for NZ there. Amos gave Naholo too much space, then North far too narrow in defense again.

 

[austingtir]

North's nearly owned Savea twice now.

 

[Thingimubob]

We really can't defend those kicks can we? NZ tore us apart with exactly the same tactic in 2013. Amos got proper shown up for pace there too, bit worrying. Maybe Gatland's comments about his pace were true?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Watching the NZ wingers tackle i now 1000% agree that Ashton and Wade would both start for them.

 

[Tony Manx]

Another dreadful attempt by Savea - he could be in for a busy night!!

Maybe not as busy as the scorer though - this could be a massacre not just the expected defeat!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Furk what a try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben smith OMG.

 

[dullonien]

Ben smith is immense! That was a good kick from Biggar, but Smith still punished it.
