    At least Havili will get out of this game with his head held high, having decresed his intercept rate

    BB's last touch in tests is a try?

    They don't drop senior players, we know he's gonna be there until 2027.

    Surely Beauden is never picked for the ABs again after this tour.

    Reminiscent of Spencer at the end of 2004.

    Only 4 tries off Howletts record now.

    He could be the most capped and top try scoring Allblack of all-time if they keep picking him 😃

    Good to have his experience around the squad.

    It's been such an odd season. Generally the Fern is known for awful analysis and incorrect conclusions but this year the Fern has seen the obvious problems with game plan and selection a mile away, and those concerns have materialised basically every time. It's been like watching someone that knows nothing about test rugby make obvious mistakes over and over again. We knew it was going to be a steep learning curve for Razor but I didn't expect it to be this steep, with so little learnt along the way.

    What a shitshow. There can be no pretence they're any better than the team that were robbed at last years RWC.

    Beauden Barrett 4 MOTM

    You really have moved to the dark side. A shame, I think Padmé Amidala is single again after a recent divorce.

    That should mark the sunset on a few of the players.

    Thanks for the service lads, time to pass the baton.

    Scott Barrett, and the midfield should be nervous. Havilli shouldn't be in the squad at all. And the wings need pace. And the restarts are terrible. Etc etc etc

    Would have been good experience for some newer players

    Instead we got to watch old heads fumble around the field for 80 minutes.

    Great.

    At the end of the day, this test means nothing, and regardless of what happens from here, is one nobody will remember. Lest we forget last time we played Italy in Italy, it was also a shitfest.

    I think this was probably partly down to the fact a bunch of old guys didn't really fancy playing properly after a long tour in zero degrees temperatures.

    This isn't exactly on the coach, because he wasn't the one kicking the ball, dropping it, failing to clear rucks etc. Italy clearly wanted it to be fair to them, but that was horrific. Plenty of time to reflect on this season, but I will say making sweeping statements on this game alone is a little silly.

    Not a great watch but want to pay respect to Sam Cane and TJ Perenara for their time in the black jersey

    Your IDS is turning into a full fledged mental disease. The pass was prefect and Tele'a fumbled a simple pass putting him in space.

    I thought it was a forward pass, went back, still do. Tho the angle was poor so I could be wrong

    Sure, if we ignore he selected and coached them.

    I always chuckle at statements like this.

    If the performance of the team isn't on the coach then what is he there for? Vibes?

    Overall for the tour:
    Razor picked players out of form, burnt out, or recently injured.
    There were plenty of younger and fresher caps and inform players who could have been tested.
    I am trying to think of a newbie found wanting at this level and all I can think of is Finau, and he still showed some glimpses.
