    I see why NZ have been on top this season. They’ve had the same consistent squad together for years and their forwards are all way bigger than Fiji’s so they can dominate the breakdown. Guys like Collier, Ware, Curry, Molia and Dixon have been there for 10 years now. Mikkelson 15 years.

    • @mikehunt923

Miss it ball goes dead, so still 12-0 up. Take away those 7points Fiji scored after the NZ penalty, NZ through.

    Still there are many rooms of improvement needed. See the smaller props on how they struggle to anchor scrums. Regathering balls during new kicks is still a problem. There are no crunching tackles of Katonibau, Derenalagi, Vakurunabili and some other bigger boys. The off loads is still not noted but little improvement seen resulted in a try to a forward player. Breakdown are contested by two Fijians to one NZ player. Fitness to me has improved alittle and look at how Mocenacagi played showed this and he will get his kown form and style of play in the future under Cawanibuka programs. Fiji won this game but again their weaknesses were exposed by Argentina. What can be the best solution?

    7s when it's allowed to flow and not over-officiated is brilliant. Let it have it's own rules and be it's own sport and not treated like an inferior version of 15s. The refs should be 7s refs not 15s refs also because of this. Overall ref'd well in this game.
    Interesting how slippery Twickenham is despite all the work on the pitch.

    I said it last week, and this week I was proven right.
    Dickson and Curry are dragging this team down.
    If they had someone with the slightest bit of speed in support off that Rokolisoa run in stead of the tortoise Curry, it would have been game set.
    Get rid of these two dinosaurs. In Mickleson, Molia, Collier and Amanaki Nicole (when fit) there are enough quality forwards, with enough speed.

    Cook-Savage's pass to Rokolisoa was also well forward, so nevermind the "taking out the player" tackle to end the match.
    These refs have shown, time & again, that they aren't capable of officiating these matches adequately, so either we use TV officials to constantly monitor and link to the on-field ref, or we let AI take over everything so that there's no mistakes.

      The rule is that the ball needs to be passed with a backward movement of the arms... if the ball happens to travel forward a metre or two (due to running momentum) then that is not what the refs are looking for. As for the late tackle... it was 50-50 in any rugby code. The Fijian player had committed to the tackle with no intention to foul while the NZer still had the ball in hand. 0.5 of a second later the NZer had kicked the ball and the Fijian made contact. It was contentious if you're a NZer... but would have been a harsh call if the ref had handed the game to them for that one.

    • @Yasuke1998

    Listen I’ve got some bad news , the Bible says everyone has fallen short of the glory of God through their sin , and the only way to pay for that sin is death, but there is also the good news , For God loved the world so much that he sent his only begotten Son to die on the cross , paying the price for our sins, so that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life .
