Scotland really struggled in the second half.

Been dual watching the Exeter v Bath Prem Cup game. Bath not turned their dominance into sufficient points.

I agree that it was sensible, but by the strict letter of the law it should have been a yellow card.
Anyhow it’s become moot as NZ score again.

I couldn’t see anything else Barrett could have done, he came across and was in a proper tackling position. Couldn’t work out how they clashed heads considering Klinghorn was so upright. Sometimes these things are genuine accidents.

Been a funny game, NZ look scrappy but have 7 tries. Scotland’s tackling has been good but then they concede 7 tries suggesting they aren’t getting their defensive patterns right / reorganising quickly enough.

Ach, a frustrating second half but an enjoyable game overall, even if we didn't manage to get a bonus point, which I felt we deserved.

One thing that's interesting is hardly anyone seems to be going for 3 points, always the corner. Maybe that's just my perception?
