The Currie Cup game and the Samoa / Scotland might overlap for a few minutes.. I will try to jockey both as best I can!
Players out and we have the Anthems.
New Zealand Anthem up 1st!
The New Zealand team almost seems too casual and laxidazical….
Tonga Anthem up next
Now the 2 little dances… the Civitau of Tonga up 1st!
New Zealand players standing in a diamond formation, not lined up in a row as they should be…
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the All Blacks!
Read misses a kick-receipt totally… had no clue about it whatsoever!
Kieran Read now steals one on the ground.
Up to now all ball belonged to Tonga
Nonu of course playing in his 100th All Blacks Test…
Dane Coles once again haning about on the extreme right wing.
If there is ONE critisism I have of him, is that he looks for glory balls!
All Blacks not their usual clinical selves yet…
I suppose one would say that Tonga is still soooo adenaline enfused, that it will take a while for the All Blacks to take full control
Even Dan Carter is out of sorts… wayward, average and needless kick, there…
Tonga scrummie kicks out directly
Tonga turnover scrum, All Blacks held up…
Tonga scrum penalty!!
Against Tony Woodcock!
All Blacks steal the Tonga lineout
Try Ben Smith, All Blacks!
Final pass to Smith looked forward but try was awarded straight away
Kan nou nog nie besluit of Dan Coles se beste posisie vleuel of senter is nie, hy druk pragtige driee in beide posisies.
🙄
All Blacks 7 / 0 Tonga
Very surprised they didn’t have TMO look at that considering they have been checking so many tries this RWC
All Blacks penalty, against the Tonga captain, Nili Latu.
Nie lekker om ‘n game te speel wat jy weet jy het absoluut geen kans om die game te wen nie. As Tonga net so bietjie self belief gehad het soos die Rysvreters !
Great defence Tonga driving NZ back well
All Blacks very, very error-prone…
They look woefully out of kilter and form!

I canna count so far as to how many little Cinzano Rosso’s I’ve had… hehehe
Luckily it is very light on alcohol…

Sounds like you are quite thirsty. Am nursing a pale ale from The Borders called The Long White Cloud, quite apt for an NZ game.
Tonga penalty… they will go for goal
