HISTORY IN SAN DIEGO | All Blacks v Fiji | San Diego, 2024

The All Blacks and Fiji showcase their attacking flair in a historic match on American soil. Played at Snapdragon Stadium, the All Blacks fielded a number of debutants against a powerful Fijian side that missed out on the semifinals of the Rugby World Cup last year by the barest of margins.

[@unclejezza]

Can we all agree that the Reiko at centre experiment has run its course? Billy Proctor showed his class here tonight - alongside several phenomenal Super seasons w the Canes. It’s time we put a true centre AT centre. That isn’t to say Reiko doesn’t still have a huge role to play within this team, but I feel he has been playing out of position for too long. Call me a tradionalist, but a Centre should be abbrasive, confrontational and challenging the gain line relentlessly. Like the Ma'a Nonu's and Bundee Akee's of the world. Reiko is a great distributor and often catches mid-field defenders off-guard with his turn of pace. Those opportunites arent frequent at test level, rendering him pretty ineffectual a lot of the time. He also gets bullied up-front by often much larger and more physical opposites.

[@Youllneverfindmezx]

Honestly as someone who started watching the ABs again after many years, the experimental lineups don’t make any sense. Especially against an opponent like England, games like this should’ve been the chance for others to show and Proctor definitely looks solid. Should be playing the best available at their positions. I was smh when they benched Barrett vs England considering he’s one of the best players and he was benched because of super rugby performances which is irrelevant at test level. Immediately he comes on both games and the team looks way better. If this is how the team been going I can see why we blew 2019 and 2023 world cups.

[@camwells9726]

Proctor was great , but Fiji defensively were nothing like England , not saying proctor shouldn’t be given an opportunity but perspective is required judging the ease in which the backline was permitted to operate today compared to the English defence up in their face .Chalk and cheese .

[@brucefont3465]

Can't be serious, that was such a disappointing performance by the men in white, after such a great world cup campaign, it's like no one in the team knew how to tackle. Fiji is trying to play with T1 nations, this is a set back to that plan. But it is a good learning experience for the squad and only upwards from here.

[@archvermin]

Fiji needs a forwards coach to revolutionise things. They have no shortage of big, strong and skilled ball players, but the ABs stifled key possession and momentum with their work in the line outs and scrums. I think we had quite a few unforced knock-ons this game, but since we're dominating Fiji in the scrums - we get to regain possession and go at it again.

[@mojee5431]

What a waste for Fiji rugby taking player's that are just an inch from retiring . Coach needs to look at the bigger picture and the next world cup .
