Samoa defeated Italy this morning 33-25

Dubinusa · 05-07-2024 5:02pm

Oz v Wales is the match that interests me the most. What can Schmidt do with Oz?

dont expect high quality rugby, two very workmanlike teams without high quality x factor players.

Brief_Lives · 06-07-2024 7:44am

Just a reminder of the 2 teams about to kick off in NZ..

More matches than those, although not of interest to many:

USA vs Romania already at 01:00 this morning. Ended 31-17 to USA.

Chile vs Hong Kong at 20:00 tonight too.

Mad weekend for sport, F1, MotoGP, Rugby (summer tours and Currie Cup here in SA), Wimbledon, not even sure what else that I dont follow.

Edit, the Euros football last night and tonight. Knew I was forgetting something.

I was only counting real sports, thats why I didnt list golf either…

Im joking, im joking.

Brief_Lives · 06-07-2024 8:05am

that haka was ridiculous - 3 formations

gneel · 06-07-2024 8:18am

Did NZ front row not stand up in that scrum?

TheRona · 06-07-2024 8:19am

I hate that kind of knock on call. The ball was knocked out of his hands back onto his knee, then forward off his knee.

TheRona · 06-07-2024 8:23am

Great try. Fantastic ruck speed throughout that entire passage of play.

AdamD · 06-07-2024 8:24am

English line speed is mental

Yeah, offside most of the time. Glad the ref is onto it.

accensi0n · 06-07-2024 8:36am

Great try by NZ

testtech05 · 06-07-2024 8:38am

England in their own half just looking to kick the ball away but they are neither clearances or contestable most of the time so far from Mitchell

AdamD · 06-07-2024 8:47am

Marcus Smith would drive me insane, seems incapable of passing without running 5 yards across the pitch first.

A word on the ref...I think he's one of the best in the game atm.

AdamD · 06-07-2024 8:55am

Thats a massive defensive set from England

testtech05 · 06-07-2024 8:58am

Maybe trying to play a bit too much in the last phases by NZ but very good defence from England.

I wonder will we see Perenara for the 2nd half that twist of his knee looked very severe

indeed, I did limit my list to games that were easily watched on UK/Irish linear TV.

For those wondering about Sky coverage of NZ v England a mixture of old and new: Anna Woolhouse, Kyle Sinckler, Nick Evans, Will Greenwood in the studio, Miles Harrison and David Flatman on the call (apparently from Iselworth rather than Dunedin).

The pain in Flatmans voice when the kiwis do something good, is delicious. ridiculous commentator.

TheRona · 06-07-2024 9:14am

On one hand, you think that Christie is an eejit for not using the ball when the ref told him to, but it's also a shame that you can't keep the ball in the scrum and try to drive forward when you feel that you've got the upper hand.

Dave0301 · 06-07-2024 9:16am

Smith not brought his kicking boots today.

On the scrum, I think De Groot stood

testtech05 · 06-07-2024 9:20am

England have started the 2nd half very well

AdamD · 06-07-2024 9:24am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122346005#Comment_122346005

Actually think Flatman has been pretty objective

gneel · 06-07-2024 9:24am

Scott Barrett not the best player to be chasing a chip over the top

TheRona · 06-07-2024 9:34am

Not really seeing the point of these aimless high balls in midfield from NZ. Much better to play for the corner, and maybe get a 50/22.

testtech05 · 06-07-2024 9:39am

That was a lovely low kick by Barrett which led to the penalty
