All Blacks vs Boks

[gt12]

Well, I'd not have SBW in my team, but our attack has looked flat since he went off and took away the midfield bail-out straight running option. Would have hoped for Crotty to take over that role.

[No Quarter]

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Boks:

Very noticeable that we lack penetration or a straight runner in midfield now that SBW is off. He is essential for our backline to function effectively.

Only other player that can fill the role is Laumape, but he's still very raw at this level.

@Pot-Hale The BIL was an awesome tour, I just don't like their kiwi coach!

[gt12]

@Tim

Ha ha. Snap.

[PN]

At this rate, the B&I Lions tour should be annualized in order for a competitive match involving the All Blacks

@Pot-Hale He does the same for both sides and has kept the game flowing at top pace. Who gives a shit if he tells players to take their hands off before a penalty could be awarded.

I do.

Infinitely better for the game than those French refs in June.

Now that just sounds sour. Unnecessary.

It is sour, they were several grades down from Owens.

Unnecessary is an Irishman continually labouring the point about the referee in a Boks vs ABs game.

[dingo]

Watching Ardie "add impact" there is only one thing wrong with Sam Cane's game. His (apparent according to the Zoo) inability to play 80 minutes like Read, Whitelock, BBBR do, and like McCaw did.

Ofa is carving in the loose

[Gunner]

No fucking need for these silly kicks.

It's like they don't want to beat the Boks by 50...

[Tim]

We have killed their scrum in the second half.

[PN]

Boks absolutely insipid for the whole match. Never saw the AB tryline once. Ok I lie, i saw it during the missed conversion attempt 3 min in.

[taniwharugby]

@dingo but he isn't given the chance to show he can go 80...

ALB break, Sops in

[kev]

@Tim except now!

[Stargazer]

ALB with the break, Sopoaga scores!

[Virgil]

AL fucking B!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Now that was some midfield penatration!

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph That try might be the confidence boost he needed to succeed at this level.

[nostrildamus]

Do we look better with this 10 and 15 combo or is it just me?
