Maybe it's time to give some support to the wee abs.
SH rugby reputation was severely dented when England dismantled the wee abs.
All this reflects badly on the Mighty Boks. The wee abs beating Wales, the 6 nation Champs could help.
We also wish Read a good last game.
Bent Read leads the hahahahaka. Much scratching, wailing, tongues out and eyes rolling.
HAHAHAHA.
Wee abs looked pumped for this game.
Great effort by tight give players as abs score!
Great intensity by both teams.
Much less kicking.
Barrett through from the inside pass off Smith.
Beau steps through and scores.
This could get nasty for Wales. What a bit of Beeno support does!
Ou rooitwit conversely is a real Jonah!
Hi Pakster. Wee abs looking up for this game.
Wales go over but no try as Jonah rooitwit strikes.
Hi Beeno. Wales gets over the line but held up.
Wales going through the phases close to the line but All Blacks not getting sucked in so far.
Patchell may have wanted to let it go there.
Welsg shrug off Jonah rooitwit and score after sustained attack.
We have a game on oaks!
And now a super pass from Patchell sends Wales over. Beauty.
Abs lead 14-7
Long attack from ABs breaks down as Rettalick loses in contact and Patchell clears long.
This match has a Barbarians feel to it.
Penalty Wales, S Barrett playing the scrumhalf at the r uck.
I know there's not much at stake here so the teams will feel they have more freedom, but the Welsh try just shows again that you have to be brave if you want to score. Just picking and going and picking and going because it's safe will seldom get you through, especially if you don't have physical dominance. Lesson for the Boks for tomorrow as well.
14-10 ABs.
All Blacks having some scrum woes.
Wales now penalized at scrum time.
Super blindside move All Blacks, pass goes astray. Rumbling again now. Ben Smith steps and smashes his way through. Past it, is he? Hey? Beating two and riding the third over the line.
ABs miss touch with the penalty and returned with interest.
Patchell looks a far more handy player than Biggar.
And Ben Smith again. All class.
28-10 NZ half time.
Abs score again.
Pakster Boks should run off good ball.
Problem is you only have to backline replacement.
So strategy is to try and batter opposing forwards, conserve backline energy, defend very well and then unleash in last 20 with new pack on.
But let's see, we might see a change.
The abs made a number of wrong selections against England.
They also appeared lethargic.
England are in for a shock when the Boks grab hold of them.
Expect Rosie to melt down.
Smith / Crotty they should have been in starting team v poms....
Should have had Smith at 15 and BBarrett at 10 - mounga lucky to be bench...
Anyway ABs showing up the real Welsh team who were really average at best this whole tournament...
Funny that when they zoom onto coach's box you could tell neither coach wanted to be there...
Prefer Reiko on the wing as well.
Highlanders had a big fast wing whose name escapes me. He should have been playing.
Hansen lost the plot.
Fox looking particularly excited yes.
SBW offloads for Crotty to score after Ben Smith again gave them go forward.
Ben Smith gets a hattrick! Well almost, ball tapped forward to him.
Wales clearly badly battered by Mighty Boks and little in the tank.
No try Pakster. Knocked forward.
Great period of attack from Wales.
Have to pop out, All Blacks have this well in hand.
Wales pull one back after sustained attack on wee abs line
Wales putting in the effort now.
