Krustys furious apparently . I reckon what he needs to kickstart the wallabies is a catchy slogan for the boys , something like "Make Australia Great Again" or abbreviate it to " MAGA" when they put it on hats for supporters. That should help their profile over there.
They need a packed. Its a bit like aura, she's very strong and wins games.
Pact?

Don't really mind packed. Poor man's aura.

It’s all good, the older you get the better you were

"He's there (over the ball) nearly all the time, so he becomes a target and they do whatever they can to get rid of him."
He's sore because he bends over the ball and gets cleaned out. Didn't see neck rolls, but yeah the impacts from the clean outs were around his neck and shoulders. Maybe that's on the edge but they're not "targeting" Bono specifically.
Sooking and excuses. Par for the course from Krusty.

Poor Aussies. It must suck when you've had 6 more Prime Ministers than Bledisloe Cups in the past 15 years.

@taniwharugby Tui bumped off quite a few, not just Ardie and I am not a Savea apologist.

@booboo in one ruck Owen got away with holding him around the neck as Squire was providing the grunt to shift Pocock. Barnes was right there and I was sure he was going to blow it up. But then he obviously saw it was Pocock and let it go
-
@broughie oh I know, Tui looked good when he came on, a real menace with the ball, bar that, was one of Ardie's better games in some time.

I saw that too , it didn’t look good at all .I’m sure that’s being broken down frame by frame over at g and g . “ Loik at the derty keewee bastard trying to rip of saint Bonococks halo” etc etc .
-
@jegga yeah the only thing that saved him was that big push by Squire. I don't think Owen was applying much force, and Pocock's whole body went in one go, rather than clearly being dragged by the head. Still not good though, anytime you are holding on to the neck you are just asking for a penalty... or worse!

Didn't he start?

@paekakboyz were you playing for Kapiti college when Nick Belton got carted off in the Westpac rescue chopper after doing in his neck? If you thought would stop him from playing hall rugby at his flat in Aro valley and almost repeating that you’d be wrong .

I don't really see the big problem. The specialist 12 starts at 12 whilst the very effective bench player who covers 12-13 is on the bench covering 12 and 13?
In modern rugby the bench is very important and ALB made a very strong case last weekend that he is perfectly suited to the 23 shirt for the big AB games moving forward.
With SBW due back next game the pressure is on Laumape to perform. And if he does, the pressure will be on SBW.
Laumape went ok on the weekend, but ALB was outstanding for 68 minutes at 12 the previous week. Coming on for 68 minutes and playing well hardly screams "put me on the fucking bench", does it?

He did, but only put in some big runs at the end. Turned to the aussies in front and asked where the fuck that had been for the previous 78 minutes

I’d suggest carrying the weight of the world around us probably more responsible for his aches and pains
This happens to pretty much every player reaching in to steal the ball. It happens to Pocock all the time because that's all he farking does. It's quite indicative of the type of player he is that he stands out every time we pump them. In other words when getting hammered he's good at getting his team a little less hammered. Awesome, he made 5 turnovers in a 40 point loss! God forbid he actually make an effective hit up and do something with the ball. Or win a line out.
