    The two young boys will learn a lot from the last 2 games, ball retentions. Would Lio have got that try in the corner or maybe side step the Fijian defender if he was not injured??Awesome game and well deserve Fiji.

    I see why NZ have been on top this season. They’ve had the same consistent squad together for years and their forwards are all way bigger than Fiji’s so they can dominate the breakdown. Guys like Collier, Ware, Curry, Molia and Dixon have been there for 10 years now. Mikkelson 15 years.

    • @mikehunt923
      @mikehunt923 Год назад

      I think that’s why they lost. This season in particular is usually a smaller line up bar collier molia starting albeit when this match was played they’ve already won the series. Rush is a bench player too

    Intense stuff! A touch of karma as how NZ got past France in their QF. mistake NZ made was at the end of the 1st. half with their Penalty. Should've set up a drop goal attempt. Get it, 15-0 up. Miss it ball goes dead, so still 12-0 up. Take away those 7points Fiji scored after the NZ penalty, NZ through.

    Still there are many rooms of improvement needed. See the smaller props on how they struggle to anchor scrums. Regathering balls during new kicks is still a problem. There are no crunching tackles of Katonibau, Derenalagi, Vakurunabili and some other bigger boys. The off loads is still not noted but little improvement seen resulted in a try to a forward player. Breakdown are contested by two Fijians to one NZ player. Fitness to me has improved alittle and look at how Mocenacagi played showed this and he will get his kown form and style of play in the future under Cawanibuka programs. Fiji won this game but again their weaknesses were exposed by Argentina. What can be the best solution?

    7s when it's allowed to flow and not over-officiated is brilliant. Let it have it's own rules and be it's own sport and not treated like an inferior version of 15s. The refs should be 7s refs not 15s refs also because of this. Overall ref'd well in this game.
    Interesting how slippery Twickenham is despite all the work on the pitch.

    If they had someone with the slightest bit of speed in support off that Rokolisoa run in stead of the tortoise Curry, it would have been game set.
    Get rid of these two dinosaurs. In Mickleson, Molia, Collier and Amanaki Nicole (when fit) there are enough quality forwards, with enough speed.
