Cheers lt, good luck with the calculator.

NZ up 69-31 after 72 in a fairly loose tryfest, the ABs maximising use of time and space to score any way they can a lot of passing, chips and support play. George Bridge has impressed, dont think Mo’unga missed a goal and Japan have rallied well to score several very good tries. Jordie Barrett several unforced errors, needs more Super rugby time to settle down. Gareth Evans, a good kiwi name, went well at pivot when he came on.

All in all a good workout for both sides, some promising support and talent coming through.

Results added to main post. Please let me know if I have made a mistake with your score.

Likely to be a lot of change next week as we have 8 fixtures. Thread to be posted for that in a day or so.

Just like playing cards....the scorer always wins

Aye, tad embarrassed by the ranking right now. However my lack of knowledge will soon be exposed.

Lol. I have little chance of working out if that's right or not but feel you should mark me down to negatives for the Japan score as didn't post it until after the result lt. I didn't cheat honest guv but fairs fair.
