@kiwimurph thought Fletcher Smith stood up well, the winning of the game was there, just forwards being lazy cost us.

@bones tough when you lose Lima so early.
Really was not impressed by Weber. TTT should be given a shot as starting 9 in big games.
Yep, a bit of the shit being heaped on DMac can be traced back to his lack of time from fielding Weber's wayward passes.
Hope he regains his form before the NPC.

Who is the forwards coach?

Spacco
Coincidently, I heard that term for the first time in years earlier today. Must be making a comeback.

Great tussle, solid viewing. My laws knowledge is rooted, with the last in-goal ruck do the Chiefs need to retreat to behind hindmost feet? There's a couple of in-goal situations where all bets are off. Either way, Spacco Jacko ignored the Chiefs massive side entries, as usual, and got his lads home in the end
You literally cannot have an in-goal ruck or maul. Players stop being part of it when they cross the line (and it ends completely if the ball crosses).
Goal line is always the off side line.
Pretty much the only time you can be off side in goal is when your own side kicks.

McKenzie was excellent bar a couple of charge downs. Should have the AB 10/15 super sub role nailed.
Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi: reckon he has an excellent chance of getting that 3rd AB 9 spot. Looks a better play than Weber IMO

I was disappointed with McKenzie at 1st (although I wasn't watching him or the game that closely). He seemed all over the place. He needs to cut the silly stuff. I was thinking poor first half until at the end of the half. esp when he failed to draw Naholo? that I thought would be a strength of his game
But TTT looked good again when he came on. He does look a better option than Weber. i would like to see him start in one of the big matches

By silly stuff I assume you mean creating mayhem on attack...?

My 2c.
Retallick and Cane would transform any forward pack from ok to awesome.
ALB looked great. Lots of half gaps in traffic.
DMac was good. Couple of charge downs though.
Wainui cops shit here but I thought he was excellent

He created mayhem both for and against his team! He needs to not try and create with every single touch, especially if he plays for the ABs. He'll calm down a bit and improve with time in the saddle - deff the beaudy super sub role is his. Mo'unga starts if beaudy is out tho

He made a lot of errors. He just instills confidence that he will blow a game. What the hell was he thinking, kicking the ball away with 50 seconds on the clock? Mindless.
If Jordie isn't starting, I would probably rather have him on the bench.

DMac is erratic and prone to disastrous errors.
In an ideal world he would never get close to a regular test gig. And yet he's looking like a certain bench option. Jesus.
