Kiwis v Scotland

[Wheeled Warrior]

What is our Win Loss record with Perenara? Dismal is my guess. I hate him as a ref he always over plays his card to proving he's not bias for Kiwis

It's a World Cup. Every game should have neutral officials.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

In a way Perenara is neutral, he is that bad a ref that both sides should get an equal amount of clangers

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Pommies are the best refs. Actually think they are the best video referees as well. They are always clear with their dialogue when looking through all the angles. Aussie ones they always seem pretty unclear or have the convient audio issue at the wrong time.

The slow-mo video replays are to blame.
Nobody; the referee, touch judge, spectator, can see things slowed down 50 times. (Except maybe Can Smith.)
Play all replays at actual speed and we can clear up a lot of the confusion. Or, better yet, no replays.
It happened, referee ruled, on with the game.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Just taken my seat for the game

It is an absaolute belter of a day here today, the big boys will be feeling it halfway through their stints

Interested to see how Hiku goes today.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Here we go yo.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Nice run by Stein.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Lol Brough indecisive

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Nice tip on to a huge gaping hole runner in K-Brom

 

[playdaball]

Jason Nightingale has a lot of polish and has all that the Warriors lack - safe under the high ball, consistent, can finish off tries and a good talker.

Where's old mate Kearney with his process. I know it's Scotland but kiwi players look far more explosive when they can back themselves. F the process son.

Bugger missed the first 18mins as through a 3:30pm kick off.
Will have to catch a replay.
RTS getting on outside there but pass was average netball style at Nightingales ankles to score.
18-0 terrible conversion attempt.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

NAS to big, flicks it out the back of his hand to T Martin to score his first try as a Kiwi.
24-0

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Hiku scores with simple ball shift out wide and having numbers.

28-0

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Interesting sideline comment if we will keep the offloads in our game when we face stronger opponents like England and Aussie.
I suspect we will, otherwise why do it now? Hopefully practice makes perfect.

Again I know it's Scotland but I'm impressed by Peta Hiku.

As for Adam Blair, two things I've noticed that he does well, he is regularly running off the hip off the blokes taking it up and it does hold up the Scottish a bit in over committing, and he is usually the first bloke to put pressure on a kicker.

Will keep an eye out for that mate, but at the game he looks like a passenger compared to what the other forwards are producing

Our 1st set of the game he wasn't back onside til the 4th tackle

Hiku is solid and a very professional finisher, he didn't miss much that Lyon used to lay on for him

We looked fairly ordinary for the 1st 5mins then our forwards have blown them off the park. Started by Taupau and carried on by NAS

Very good solid display so far and the more I see of the Kiwis, the more I like. Whoever brought Brian Smith into the fold deserves some kudos

 

[Iafeta]

No doubt Beaver, he needs to get his hands dirty and cart it up.
