@nepia ha sorry, was a comment I read from Hansen that he had a quiet patch until he got a 2nd wind.

Pat T called into ABs with BBBR and Laumape ruled out of next weeks match

akan004

Fuck. Bad news about BBBR. Sam Whitelock is going to be burnt out by the end of this RC, he has hardly had a break all year.

Machpants

@akan004 I'm sure they'll give him the break he needs, playing japan, even Bled 3, argy 2 can easily go barret and Pat T with frizzell or hemopo on the bench

akan004

@machpants Japan is the only game that I can see him getting a rest in. Can't play Barrett and Patty T together against a Tier 1 team imo, our lineout will really suffer.

Nepia

Patty T timed his return to Auckland and return to form well.

Stargazer

@akan004 Italy

Siam

@nepia 1 decent game in about 2 years? But yeah hopefully he can perform a role which he's failed to do in a while.

We know these coaches have a history of selecting on one decent game.

But yep, I hope it's a return to regular form for him.

SynicBast

Best moment for me was after the game. Watching the Haka that Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi's family did was spine chilling stuff . Might even have got some dust in my eye watching that.

Franks tired after too much ball running.

I'm sure when Owen sees the tryline close he takes a voluntary tackle.

And our scrum with Pat T.

@rancid-schnitzel NMS also tore it up in NPC.

In 2018?

He tore it up at Super and international level in 2015 as well.

Bones

Actually, on NMS. Fuck that makes me angry watching that first try and seeing him come in off his wing to tackle a guy who was already clearly well and truly covered. What kind of a fucking decision was that? There was no overlap and not even the hint of an overlap. He's got to go.

Bones

@rancid-schnitzel yep so more recently than Jordie 😁

Dan54

@bones I wondered that to bones and wondered if perhaps Frizell didn't let him know he was there? Only thing I could think of.

Not only that, but TJP farked up the tackle. Got turned inside out, and just didn't recover. Disappointing from a usually good defender.

Bones

@dan54 yeah possibly but he's last on the chain, plenty of time to scan.

I can forgive TJP, that was a magical run by Moyano.

No Quarter

I really want Alaimalo in the AB setup ASAP. He's very classy and his game looks well suited to test footy. I hope they don't persist with NMS for much longer.
