    I haven't watched a minute of it, but

    Giving up that many points at home is unacceptable.

    That doesn’t take into account the opposition, the Argies were good for the points they scored. Best wingers on the field we’re not wearing black.

    Cheers. Is it worth the replay?

    While probably not outstanding ,

    I enjoyed this game , and i think part of that was watching the Argies throw something at us a bit different .

    Fuck imagine their wingers on the end of an AB backline. Instant chubby and a metric shit-ton of tries. Some of the best attacking rugby I've seen against the abs of late.

    I got a pants tent when watching the wingers try where he stepped three abs .

    Good game to watch. I much prefer this Argie team to the negative, niggly, diving teams from previous years. Subbing your best player at 50 mins can't help though. At least there were no brain explosions from Johnathon Thurston's taller, more argentinia brother in the 5 jersey.

    Think people here are being pretty harsh on Mounga. A few mistakes but actually played a pretty mature game and kicked his goals well.

    Ardie played close to his best game in Black.

    Frizzel was actually pretty impressive for someone so raw. Big dude too. Already looks more of a test 6 than Fifita.

    TTT looked good in his cameo.

    TJP had one of his better games i thought.

    Karl T great in the scrums again.

    ALB and Goodhue were good in midfield. Strong but controlled. Great to see.

    Now for the bad. Harris WTF. The first thing on the list of hooker must haves is being able to throw the ball into the lineout. Consistently terrible.

    NMS has lost his pace. It sux because he was awesome in 2015. Made some poor decisions too.
    Hope someone like Alaimalo or Nanai get a chance on the EOYT.

    Agree with this apart from the lack of praise for the magnificence of Karl T's tache.

    Goodhue continues to impress.

    It's the little things with Goodhue that makes him so classy. Last night for example, in the first half the ABs decided to run the ball out from inside the 22. They looked like they were in a spot of trouble, but Goodhue straightened before receiving the ball, went into contact and recycled the ball efficiently allowing the ABs to clear. Not a big deal to the casual observer, but lots of players would have held the outside line and risked being isolated or forced into touch.

    I reckon our best back three is Rieko and BFA on the wings and Jordie at fullback. Last night's combination was poor.

    I’ve said it before, I really struggle to see what the selectors see in NMS these days. He’s lost the spark.
    IMO Alaimalo would offer way more.

    NMS is basically going through what Cullen did. Once that speed goes there's nothing else to offer.

    Umm ... was referring to the quote that he is "starting to look the goods as an impact weapon"...

    Looks pretty accomplished in that role.

    Wasn't referring to him starting a game at 10. Although frankly the hysteria about that is overstated. I personally would be quite happy that he would produce in a starter's role. Especially as he ain't gonna do that unless both BB and RM gone down. He's better than the fourth choice who is ... ummm ...

    And he handled it quite well v France.

    A bitchkreig will probably descend on you for saying that.

    You know I'd swipe right for you, but this has shaken me to the core.

    @mn5 not even a fucken patch. I was upbeat after your Fritzel interlude, that was class. But Cullen had way more to offer.

    Ok in retrospect that wasn't my wisest post. Not enough coffee.

    Ok 🙂 , well he was thrown in the deep end a bit as a starter before he was probably ready due to others being unavailable, I think now we are seeing his real value coming off the bench .

    What we also have to remember, he hasn’t played a lot of 10 at the highest level , and he is relatively young . He should be able to round out that part of his game a bit more with more gametime at super rugby level.

    Just rewatched the tries in a short highlights package. Some real touches of brilliance with passing and speed. Apart from Milner-Skudder's one. Christ, he had a quarter of the field in space, no one in front of him, and only managed to finally dot down right in the corner after being tackled short of the line. That should have been the easiest try ever and he made it look hard in the end.

    Twattue on the radio saying a new star has been born in Frizzell who showed shades of the Iceman!

    should trigger a few, starting with @Nepia
