I cant imagine the break will help with trying to maintain a tempo :/ I'm not at the ground, but I cant imagine it being hot enough to really require a break?

Paia'aua definitely the best player in gold today, Placid was very dangerous but again held on to the ball a little too much instead of making the pass.

Match review on WorldRugby site says NZ "did enough" to beat Ireland 25-3 & get the easier SF v France.
Player that have been overlooked
Jack McCalman and Hamish Dunbar may not be as big as the boys that were picked definitely have the ticker and the ability to play at top speed for the full 80 min
Nick Kellaway
Mitch short should definitely be in at number nine
I would have always put Devan Stoltz at 12 with Henty Hukhinson on his outside
I believe all of these boys would be very disappointed this morning watching the game
congratulations to the boys for a outstanding effort, South Africa was always going to difficult side to defeat.

Squirrel no. 4 advises that Nucifora was in doubt and the third halfback had to be flown over in case.
Squirrel no 3 says that Redden is on his way to replace Quick.
Lukhan has a sore neck/shoulder and may be right for the next game.
Lolo is on the way home, and Wilkin popped the same shoulder as he did for Oz schools at Knox v. NZ two years ago, which should end his tournament.
Olly Kamp may get a run after all.

That was the day before. The match day started hot but cooled down by the end of the first game.
.
He passed twice, usefully, when he could have hogged; I know, it surprised me too.
Played well; done good.
The dominance of the JBok forwards, and the front foot ball supplied (and denied) was expected. What was more disappointing was the soft first try and some at the end, which did not owe much to the superiority of their forwards in the scoring movement.

@Insight.
It doesn't work like that. Wait 2 years and see the side that is picked and it will be the same story.

Having a bunny in their pool who leaked 172 points (26 Tries against) allows the Soap Dodgers (15 Tries For, 54 points difference) to sneak ahead of the Men in Gold (11 Tries For, -5 Points difference) with both teams locked on 10 Points. The Pool B bunny only conceded 14 tries and had a -55 points difference.
To the victor, the spoils with the sins of the father being visited upon the sons. The previous years Jnr RWC seeding is critical to current years team prospects in terms of shaping which Pool you are in and and who the opponents will be in that pool.

Is there a reason no one is actually talking about the result?
Everyone is either suffering from PTSD or shellshock due to the pounding we took in the forward pack.
