    I feel like we need a 30 point lead to have a chance of a draw.

    I think the ref thinks Murray played it

    Aaron Smith putting the moves on Murray on the ground there, can't help himself.

    Can't believe how poor NZ have been in defence.

    Kearney at his best so far, fair play. Magnificent take there.

    Ref called out Murray for playing for it.

    If we've a 30 point lead with 10 minutes to go I'll take the draw, they can't score 7 tries in 10 minutes can they?

    Soldier Field really is a horrible looking stadium.

    He isn't doing anything here he hasn't been doing in the pro12 this season.

    Of course they can. They're the All Blacks. :rolleyes:

    The best and worst of Kearney there. Great take in the air then made a mess of a very promising situation with a lack of vision in attack.

    Not a rugby stadium so any criticism for how a game looks today is a bit ridiculous.

    Think the New Zealanders just about held that scrum. Interesting to see how solid they are on their own put in. We might get them on the strike.

    Fekitoa for crotty strengthens their team instead of weakening it.
