[@clarke1319]

@@Carlo42 "The ball had not bounced away before Hogg was tackled" It is absolutely clear from the replay that the ball most certainly did bounce sharply to the left before contact from ALB. "Any time the last defensive player is behind the attacking player it will be a penalty try." Where is this from? You are simply making it up. There is a simple question the referee has to ask himself. But for the infringement by ALB would Hogg probably have scored? It's just silly to say that the bounce of the ball didn't matter. It did actually happen and it happened before the infringement. If the ball had not kicked to the left it was a much simpler decision.

Foster’s inability to develop an effective center pairing and back-ups in 3 years is a massive failiure.

[@DougieFrank]

Respect to Scotland for a great fight. However, as a Kiwi it's comforting to know that even with all their foreign talent, playing on home soil, & leading for most of the game, Scotland still cannot beat the All Blacks. Some poor kicking decisions & execution, & ill discipline let NZ down, but the bench was able to turn things around. Stand outs for me were TJ & Papali'i. Scott & Jordie B' were solid & made an impact. Clarke was never really given the space to shine, but still gave NZ some much needed "go-forward" ball. Mark Telea had a dream debut. I expect we will be seeing much more of him. On a different note - It continues to piss me off how in the North, jacklers are allowed a hand on the ground, while in the South this is illegal. One rule for the South, a different rule for the North. I'm not having a go at the Ref's (they do a stellar job) & you cant blame the players for playing to the Ref. World Rugby is to blame for their inaction & complacency regarding this. You don't have this North / South inconsistancy with any other sport, & Rugby is the same game with the same rules in both hemisphere's, so why should this inconsistency be tolerated...? As Rugby's governing body, World Rugby needs to act, & ensure that refereeing is consistent across both hemisphere's.

[@sox7784]

Each week different ref’s different interpretation this guy was really bad and Scotland played up to him and got away with blue murder

[@DougieFrank]

​@@sox7784 Yes - according to our interprretation of the rules Scotland DID get away with murder. However, I have no issue with the Irish Ref' - he simply reff'ed as they normally do in the North. Apart from missing one obvious penalty by Scotland at the breakdown, the Ref' was consistent & fair throughout the game & did a decent job.

[@bodybalanceU2]

thats why the NH teams always have a NH ref when playing abs up north or even in nz now - any advantage over the abs they will take - the irish ref today was fair and played to NH rules - i prefer him to barnes any day - - as the commentators said the abs have to adapt to NH rules - i dont understand why the rules are different - rules of play should be the same globally

[@johnyoung4814]

The margin between the teams are still big enough now as it was over 20 years ago. The AB's had a couple of decades of total dominance, recently. Now the margin is back as it was during the 90s and 00s. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Still a team to be feared now as it is then.

A great occasion at Muuryfield this morning (NZ time) and a clinical display of rugby by the All Blacks.. Yes the Scots played well but the ABs helped their efforts by gifting them 14 points early in the game. Under the pump right after half time when Scotland went ahead with a great try, the All Blacks went to work and ground their way back into winnable position. The bench, once again playing a pivotal role for the ABs to extend the misery of the Scottish home crowd as they put this game to bed in the dying minutes.. An odd decision right at the very end by Captain Whitelock to order the last penalty to be.kicked out to end.the game, when another 3 points were easily available from a handy position on field.. but still a clinical display of "never say die" rugby by the mighty All Blacks.. Looking forward to meeting the English next week..

@@benvaughan3392 nope. I acknowledge that there were too many mistakes, but they got the W and Scotland played extremely well. GUTSY.

Scotland's missed try at the end of the first cost them. Well played, but typical Scotland not taking their chances lol

yup. Half a dozen men screaming for it in the clear. It was butchered.

[@wolfgangdurst267]

Hard to watch from a Kiwi perspective because players had way too many handling errors and displayed lack of discipline. Yes they won it but the performance was kind of disappointing. Few players clearly demonstrated that they don't belong to AB's A Side. Hope that Fozzy paid attention and will select accordingly next year for the Rugby Worldcup.

He must be close to losing patience with Havilli.

[@hannotn]

Hopefully that's the last we'll see of Havili in a black jersey. I think Jordie is a great fit for 12 and this game should have given ALB some match fitness for him to get the 13 jersey. They'd make a great centre pairing.

[@sox7784]

Hope so to Jordie & ALB Reko back on the wing Bodie fullback TJ off the bench

[@MeanAzz_13]

Both you numb skulls are dreaming! "Injury pending" *REEKS* is now the main stay *Center* like Umaga and Nonu before him, he is also *versatile* n can be used on the wing if needed. He has versatility, speed, size and youth over ALB. ALB will need a serious injury too Reeks or Jordie and currently at best he'll probably come *off the bench* to be used for his *defense* come W.C Q.F's and Semi's. Comeback in 12 months post W.C bet I'm more right than you two dummies! 😂

Just a super effort from the Scots. That is Pride. One loss is one closer to your eventual first win. Go the All Blacks.

[@davidmadani7141]

All Blacks cruise to another victory. Despite some early mistakes, ABs held firm with the quality bench finishing the job comfortably in the end. ABs are building nicely for World Cup. So much depth NZ rugby 🏉 ❤

[@agc2757]

Wouldn't say cruise. Seemed to me like they were behind for a lot of the game.

[@mattc6056]

I wouldn't call an 8 point victory likely only because of a VERY harsh yellow card over one of the worst NH teams building nicely. AB's were once again, very lucky to get away with the win here. If this was an 8 point win over England, France or Ireland sure you take that, but it's Scotland, we should be putting 20-30 on these guys.

[@joeskienz]

I wouldn't say they cruised. Their discipline was absolutely woeful for 50mins of the game and needs to be improved drastically.

Nz have won far more games than they deserve to this year. Good to see the smaller team giving them a run for their money. Scotland very unlucky not to get the win. Just a few small things not going their way

[@airplanekiwi6019]

perenara, taylor, and Ioane changed the tide of that game when they came in

[@caleblim6890]

Interesting game to watch; think Foster got his tactics wrong by going for a kicking game when his forward pack is growing more dominant, it clearly didn't pay off kicking straight back to the Scots when Hogg, VDM and Graham are solid high ball players, yet that was still the call throughout, meaning Beaudy's running game was completely unused, stripping a lot of his danger. Havili contributed little again, his kicking game lacklustre and has gone back to being just an average 12. With ALB off form as well, and Clarke continuing to be as easily shut down as a 90s computer, the backs just didn't show up. Telea was bright on debut and should snatch a spot from Reece in the 23 based on this performance. Jordie again solid at fullback and fully cementing his position as the backup goal kicker. Christie just not fast enough or aggressive enough to give the backs an edge. Forwards wise, Papalii surely owns the 7 jersey, and Savea phenomenal as always. Akira again a half-half performance, don't know if he or Frizell would be better really. Locks solid, that's never been the worry for NZ, and front row did decently, with Taukei 'aho just brilliant. For me the kicking game was a misjudgement, so was the game management. What have we learned? Use Beauden Barrett to organize a ball-in-hand running game, not a kicking game. Using Havili to run the kicking game is not good enough. The forward pack is starting to really click, so cohesion in midfield and a better running game will take it to the next level. Right now the backs for the England match should read: Smith-Mo'unga-Clarke-ALB-Rieko-Telea-Jordie Beauden's greatest asset against a tough team like England is his creativity and pace with ball in hand, so he needs to come off the bench in the second half to stretch a tiring England defence, especially if Mo'unga has failed to organize a successful attack. In this case then Perofeta off the bench to play with Barrett at fullback, so Jordie can shift to 12 and offer more explosiveness. This is a high-risk move of course, and would be my workaround for if England boss the first half. If not, trust Jordie at 15 to handle England's kicking game, then ALB to find the space for Rieko to strike.

[@opticnerve8927]

was the ABs winger second try grounded appears he may have dropped it on the line? Why did the ref not go to the TMO?

[@FREE_SKAPA9]

good weekend for nz sport 🔥🔥🔥

[@elchaposione5808]

The way Scotland attack the line where the ref is standing seems to be a new thing teams are doing!!

[@BELYEA2]

Don't usually comment and have been a huge All Blacks supporter for a long long time, but I think Scotland was hard done by the refereeing here. I think a lot of the defensive penalties that favored the AB's at the breakdown were pretty easy to call as no clear release or should've been called as hands in the ruck or late attempts. I know it's split second decision making for the referee to call those things at breakdowns, but the rules revolving stealing the ball at the breakdown seemed really inconsistently enforced. I think this is an issue across all rugby and maybe the rules need to be refined to be clearer, because a lot of international games are being decided at the breakdown it seems. It just happens too often I see two cases of nearly identical steal attempts get called completely differently, and I think the players realize this too so it's leading to them just taking the risk cause who knows if they'll call what you're doing illegal. Great showing from both teams, but I feel the Scots got unlucky to not pull off a win here.

[@JimChap]

I think you could count on one hand the number of times the AB's have conceded more than 20 consecutive points before. Great play from Scotland. Long periods of very average play from NZ, but I don't want to take anything away from Scotland.

[@KernowekTim]

Christie looked out of his depth. He'll get there, but, "No the now". Another 'W' for the most successful Southern Hemisphere Autumn touring side. A sub-concious focus on the English threat may have been in the back of some minds causing moments of un-solicited less than desirable play. BB had a shocker. The bar Must be raised and cleared easily in the training period leading up to the Twickenham clash, which it will be, I think.
