All Blacks vs Boks
-
That second half was far more enjoyable, the overall quality of the game was far better, especially by the ABs (of course). That second half was the best I've seen the ABs play since sometime in 2016 (before the French test, which was when it started to go a bit downhill IMO). Nice to see the reserves make such a positive impact after the clusterfuck in Sydney

Does Matfield have a son?
-
And our bench did ok!
-
Cudos to the younger, bigger Barrett brother. Had a great game I thought. Worth giving a chance from the start?
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel It's time for Akira Ioane to make his debut.
Barrett went bloody well at 6 though. Maybe he added some of the workrate that has been missing?

The gap between Coles and Taylor has well and truly closed; there's not much between them anymore. It's the question who comes next that gives reason to worry.
Aumua ...

Promising, but too soon to tell.

@Pot-Hale Freedom Cup. Only played for between NZ and SA.

Ah ok. They'll have to wait until next week then. 😏

The Ioane brothers are possibly the most gifted players in NZ. If they both achieve their potential we are farking going to carve up going forward.
It's been difficult to gauge SB this season (he usually only gets 5 minutes) but what I like is his ability to do the job in tight while also being capable of ridiculous things like he did tonight.

We try to plan it so there's a different cup to drink from each week.

Yep - another grand slam in the offing.

(Sorry - that game has truly upped my Arrogance, Hubris, and Condescension attributes)It's getting harder to lap this shit up privately, but pretend to be genuinely concerned about the poor opposition in public.
