[November Tests 2017 EOYT] Wales vs. New Zealand (25/11/2017)

[Spuds100]

About bloody time NZ got penalised for blocking runs, they do it all the time.

That was not obstruction.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

That was not obstruction.

Yeah it was

 

[MikeTheNative]

Backs finally have some penetration, good to see it going well for Amos as well.

Yeah it was

Nope. 50/50 call. Plus the Barnes factor means the call was automatically wrong.

 

[Spuds100]

So... Who was saying Wales had no chance??

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Nope. 50/50 call. Plus the Barnes factor means the call was automatically wrong.

Yeah, not 50/50, history of ABs doing that and the usual antipodean whinge factor meaning it definitely was.

 

[Spuds100]

It's up to the Welsh player to look where he's going.

 

[Bluemoon]

Well this is unexpected, but I still expect NZ to win.

The welsh back 5 forwards are doing very well. Shingler and Navidi getting through a lot of clearing and carrying work.

I was a doubter of the Owain Williams tactic, but it's starting to look extremely dangerous. Regardless of the result I'd like to see Wales continue this rugby, and find a clinical edge in the red zone.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

It's up to the Welsh player to look where he's going.

It's up to 2 ABs coming from either side and moving across him to ensure there was not gap to run through.

 

[ThebigARena]

Half time summery we should be 10 points up but we are a point down this is typical us , all style no substance Can almost guarantee NZ will smash us in the 2nd half as we become more and more anxious , again hope I'm wrong on a plus note navidi has almost cemented his place he's been brilliant so far ....

Thought it was a definite obstruction just for the record!

 

[Spuds100]

There was room.

 

[Spuds100]

Thought it was a definite obstruction just for the record!

Well the commentators disagree.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

There was room.

What game are you watching? The 2 ABs were literally shoulder to shoulder just as he tried to run through. Seriously, you're as bad as the Aussies in your denial. This isn't new, ABs have a reputation for repeatedly doing this over the last 2 years.

There was plenty of room. If there wasn't, the Welsh player should have laid off the meat pies

 

[Spuds100]

This isn't new, ABs have a reputation for repeatedly doing this over the last 2 years.

The All Blacks are responsible for the direction players from the other team choose to run in? I suppose you guys blame the All Blacks for Brexit too? Lmao.

 

[Unbiased]

I hear ya, it's a funny one.
Hansen doesn't look like he wants to make friends with Gatland, he might want to put the hurt on Wales.
Wales have a few injuries and that always makes it hard.
The All Blacks are looking a bit knackered and also this team is undercooked, they need another 15-20 tests together to get the bonds that are necessary to win a RWC

Commentator Jonathan Davies in 'nice' bias form. He actually said 'WE!' - no surprise

 

[Spuds100]

Come on Wales. Time to Try or the game's gone.

 

[Unbiased]

Lol, he cannot contain his disappointment when NZ play well or his enthusiasm when Wales play well. It's a good game

 

[Spuds100]

Well, that's the game I guess.
