I'm not an expert but thought that was a good sold performance
Bench did a good job
So pleased my prediction was so wrong! -

Biggest loser today is Cortez Ratima.
He was poor and lit was noticeable how much better Roigard looked straight away.
Ratima has had a big season and looks like he needs to be on a beach now.
He seems to have lots of things running through his head and as a consequence isn’t really clear on what he should be doing at each breakdown, which is where the hesitation starts
-
@Devon-Kiwi Yes Bench has won it for us twice now.
-
Those three Kiwi-Irish are pretty good, aren't they? Fuckers!
How good? They grounded out a win without going full retard. You could see the headless chook appear at times (it is going to take time to get fully rid of it) but generally a very pragmatic win. Exits good, close-in defense good,... Beyond stoked. -
@Old-Samurai-Jack very different to.the southern part of the year, today they were comfortable in the grind.
I reckon the team takes a lot out of that belief-wise
-
Berry getting shit, but I thought the way he reffed the breakdown suited us. Another ref might have let Ireland get more of an upper hand, as they play right to the line. Yes, he was a bit erratic, but all in all I think he was good for our play.
-
Start Roigard next week so we can see him against DuPont.

They are the most illegal team in world rugby and have been for about 6 years.

2004 esque.
That’s a “poor” Allblack side that just beat them at home.

Wow. Bold
-
Razor with a deserved shout out to Aumua his best game in black too. the only not straight was a Berry fark up anyway.

Haha, just poor English had to be roigard at nine

Huh, I thought DMac was excellent tonight. Exits in the first half in particular were orgasmic for a AB fan that hasn’t seen a good one in about 7 years
Goal kicking was ace
A couple of bad options, but shit, he handles the ball about 800 times per game, he’s not going to get them all right, especially when he was getting served tripe for 50 minutes
The bombs were all on the money for Clarke to compete too
The quick throw was def mostly on Jordan - he probably shouldn’t have thrown it all all, but when he did, it was such a weak pass that DMac had to come back to the ball towards the sideline and into the traffic. If the pass was quicker he could have gotten into space on the outside
I have Aumua as my MOM, but DMac was great tonight
-
@mariner4life That pass made me feel things. A thing of beauty.
