The other thing that was good about the audio was the sound mix for the crowd was really good
You could really hear the crowd and it makes you feel like you are there
In some games the crowd is so muted - it takes away from the experience.

that's just NZ crowds...
i was wondering if it was just NZ crowds or if that crowd noise was "canned", really adds to the experience i think
-
@mariner4life well when NZ crowds attempt to make noise they get drowned out by the local "DJ"

@kpkanz Absolute bullshit. He was lethal for the ABs last year. What has changed is the coach, and the shithouse attack system. We have gone backwards.
Man where was he LETHAL last year?? Genuinely.
Last 2 years he is consistently bottom of the backline for metres made, linebreaks, defenders beaten.
CONSISTENTLY.
If you're going to argue he was LETHAL you can't just link a last pass for a try as evidence of that.
Where was he lethal that he was carving up defences last year. I don't ever remember that happening.

Just saw the ABs IV game. How good is that jersey??? Much better than the ABs.
I'd be asking where the other XI were.

@mariner4life said in All Blacks Vs England, Twickenham:
The problem with this whole "Reiko never puts anyone in to space" argument is that he is also never given the ball with any sort of time.
He was given it today once I can remember and he immediately gave it to Sititi, backed up and hit the ruck (we lost the ball because the rest of.pur loose forwards were again MIA).
If he was hungasing the ball and constantly blowing overlaps this argument would hold a lot more water. But he gets shit ball too because our pattern is both midfielders playing narrow flat and straight
I have noticed since SA 1 that they have been using both Jordie and Rieko very narrow to try to suck in defenders. It is quite effective at doing that, but it's not a great use of Rieko's talents. Ideally we'd want him a bit wider looking for mismatches. If only we had someone like Nonu inside him...

Try, and penalty against Maro, lucky it didn't connect with telea's head
A player must not attempt to kick the ball from the hands of the ball-carrier.

Even when we do have a game where the passes stick and we all go "Wow", are we going to be able to back it up next week, and the next? Seems like quite a bit of improvement in ball skills required for just about everyone.
It’s possible but it will take time. Something that is difficult to bide in pro sports.
Post 2007 RWC and into that 2011-15 phase we played an up tempo style that put ball playing demands on some of our forwards that hadn’t been there. We had tight forwards standing at 1st receiver after rucks that were making delayed passes to a second wave. Hell even Owen Franks was doing it and I recall when he started as an AB he had average catching and passing skills.

https://cdn4.theroar.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Mark-Telea.jpgThat's a penalty try if he collects him there.

@ACT-Crusader Yes - that's true. And the rest of the world was bemoaning how we'd stolen a march and they couldn't compete with our ball playing props - but, then we came back to the pack and maybe fell behind.
So maybe I should applaud the ambition and trust we'll get there.
In the meantime, I guess we just need enough passes to stick to continue to win by a point or two.
But, it looks like taking some time to be pretty!

Ball playing tight forwards isn't the point of difference it was 12 years ago. Everyone unskilled.

iPhone I assume. My fix
But, yep that’s not a point of difference. I feel like this score off every phase idea is a terrible way to develop game drivers. I love me some Wayne Smith but that quite WTF. -

In the last 10 or so, he basically got away with murder at the breakdown near their line as well. A real competitor but were was Gardner with all this offending?

We have 3 years to get this right.
Sorry but that attitude is a big part of what is wrong with NZ Rugby. We have 6 days to get this right.
Winning 80+% of all our tests, not folding like overcooked pasta and living up to the legacy of 125 years of AB dominance are way more important than a tournament every four years.
Yep agree. Just mean that I always want us to win the world cup as well as all other tests.
