McGuire has been effective.

Defective is the word you're looking for.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Lol ken Bromwich at hooker, Kearney is a genius

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Really don't rate Proctor, never have.

Lol @ Kenny Bromwich being at hooker while Luke sits at home.

 

[Pete Cash]

God we are boring lol

 

[tomdl]

Thurston would have been penalised twice just then if he was a kiwi

 

[ram raid]

The phrase "no spark in attack" comes to mind. It's a shame cause the Kiwi forwards have the edge.

 

[tomdl]

Cronk should have left it for Morgan

 

[mxlegend99]

Nice try saver by Kahu

 

[Coleworld]

No imagination or players in motion for New Zealand. Classic Stephen Kearney coaching a team to play boring spoil 5 hit up football. Forwards run in pairs ffs.

To be fair they have multiple international players out but at least select a utility to add spark off the bench.

They won't score points 2H if they keep playing like this.

 

[Pete Cash]

Great move fergo

 

[Diesel]

DWZ, great tackle on Cronk

 

[LESStar58]

Those Roos shorts though!

 

[no name]

The one tackle that the Kiwis do actually hold down and no penalty given.

These refs are hopeless.

 

[Light Reflections]

Radradra came back strong.

These "high" tackles are getting as bad as the AFL. Disgrace.

 

[Jordan]

Lol Cronk should've left that for Morgo instead of getting ragdolled over the in goal.

 

[tomdl]

DWZ, great tackle on Cronk

It was Kahu

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

10-0 is a fair reflection of the game. Both teams are playing extremely boring but NZ really don't have much of a choice considering the team they have. All they can really do is go up and down.

 

[shiznit]

f**ken hell... How in the f**k is Kenny Bromwich a better option at hooker than Isaac Luke??

I'd take a woefully out of form hooker than a guy who's a bench backrower at his club...

 

[Vic Mackey]

The phrase "no spark in attack" comes to mind. It's a shame cause the Kiwi forwards have the edge.

I know they have injuries but just off the top of my head surely something like:

1. DWZ
2. Nightingale
3. Simona
4. Kata
5. Rapana

Would at least create a few opportunities instead of the plodders out there tonight

 

[MilkShark]

If Nikarima gets a start in the NZ team, something is wrong.
