All Blacks v Canada - might make you goggle-eyed

[J Dory]

Weber has added some spark.

Clock has established itself a strong lead at the halftime break. Will take a big second half for the AB's to overhaul the deficit from this precarious position.

Clock falling off the pace a little. Might need to use, ahem, quick hands to catch up.

Savea looks like the lazer eye x-man character.

Ben Smith looks a bit out of sorts.

Off to bed you lot, it's a school night.

I think he’ll struggle to keep those goggles in place with only a strap, I agree. Adding headgear is a further piece of unfamiliar gear for him to get used to, though. It’s all less than ideal.

[Lizard]

Kudos to Canada for drawing the last quarter. How many teams keep NZ scoreless in the final 20?

[Mikey Brown]

Are the goggles meant to be correcting his vision or just preventing damage to that area?

Seems odd if it’s physical protection. But surely contacts if it’s about his sight?

[J Dory]

Physical protection.

Ah. Hadn’t clocked that it was more about protecting the right than preserving the left, as it didn’t seem to originate from a rugby injury.
