Did someone not tell the Eagles before the match they have to tackle the chest area and the ball when playing against the All Blacks.
The offloading ability of the All Blacks means it does not matter if their is space because they can just run straight, but instead of crash balling they stay on their feet long enough to offload to the next runner. It may take a few offloads to result in a clean break or overlap, but it is going to keep happening again and again. Once a clean break or overlap happens, the general passing skills of the support runners is enough to draw any remaining defenders until they run out of numbers.
Advice to the Eagles. You are going to lose badly and the only option is to try keep the score down by preventing as many offloads as possibale. Tackle the chest area and try pin the All Blacks arms to their sides while trying to free the ball from the tackled player.
