    @MajorRage Lack of pace out wide is killing us.

    Let's be honest, how many of these current All Blacks are either the best player or the second best player in their position in the world?

    Not many.

    What's that got to do with playing shit?

    We have literally zero idea what to do with line breaks.

    Zero.

    We did the right thing there. Take the tackle, recycle and score. Simple rugby.

    Lomax & Taylor (I gave Taylor lots of shit during the Corona years but he's been excellent recently)

    no good distributors and no one running nice lines to give them options... also appears to be a lack of communication and "instinct"

    The in goal area is smaller than the UK league grounds. Wouldn’t want to be sliding in for a try here.

    Should be enough to win this test. Italy are making things difficult at breakdown, but aren't offering anything with the ball.

    No more than 15. On a good day. Over the last century.

    Funny how with Schmidt as coach all of a sudden a number of Wallabies are in the conversation.....

    If McKenzie was out there, this would be all his fault right? But since it’s Beaudy in the 10 jersey it’s therefore the whole teams fault

    You won't find a single person on this forum defending Beauden at 10. Absurd selection.

    That was a pretty average half of rugby. Rucks are not clean from nz.

    We have too much talent for Italy, but man we are such a poorly selected and coached side right now. Surf Jesus has turned out to be a poor man's Fozzie but also with a strong bias to his own region.

    Steady on.

    This narrative from Blues fans that Robertson is the problem is weird. Schmidt was apart of the All Blacks coaching team under Foster, which had many of the same issues.

    You are going to defend Foster on one freak game?

    The NZ work at the breakdown is poor. Beauden Barrett is dreadful at 10. The All Blacks aren't really reacting to what the opposition are doing.

    The front three are providing a decent platform in the engine room though.
