TRC: Pumas v All Blacks

[Steven Harris]

We are trying to find different ways to lose this game..can’t believe what I have seen in the 2nd half ..bloody awful..!

[booboo]

Good D.

Phew

[Stargazer]

Yep. Argies collapsed that.

All Blacks win, with a margin that correctly reflects the game.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Lucky fuckers.

[MrDenmore]

Thank Christ! Flush it.

[sparky]

Thank fuck for that.

[Hooroo]

Well that certainly showed who shouldn’t be playing again.

Awful display.

On the plus side, if our B’s can win away from home that says something.

[Yeetyaah]

Absolute clencher. AB's lucky to win that. Shit ass second half.

[Steven Harris]

I think even if you tried to flush this game down the toilet..it would probably block the dunnie..!

[booboo]

I'll play glass half full ...

... ABs D was the absolute shit. Our attack was awful but the AB defence was rock solid.

Discipline wasn't great either.

Flush the dunny but work on the handling.

[ACT Crusader]

Perfect lineout ball and setup for the Pumas right at the death and then it seemed they allowed the AB forwards to drive through with relative ease. Strange finish for the Argies.

[Stargazer]

It's a pity they won't drop Jordie. He's one of their projects.

B-Team is the right name for them. Brodie, Ben, Beauden and a bunch of B-level talent, save for Ardie and Laumape.

[sparky]

Pumas should have won that one. Golden opportunity to beat a not very good ABs but they choked.

@rotated said in TRC: Pumas v All Blacks:

Laumape has been good again with limited opportunities. He deserves to make the RWC team, he has made every post a winner and is capable of completing a captain's run without tearing an ACL.

I beg to differ. He made a couple of trademark barging runs but that's all he brings to the table so I'm not excited about it. And his hands let him down on more than one occasion. Midfield should be ALB at 12, Goodhue 13. Bench cover possibly Ennor.

[hydro11]

That was shit. I can't believe we went wide with 3 minutes to go and the ball on halfway. That's on Beauden Barrett who is meant to be an experienced player. Very poor from him.

[Victor Meldrew]

AB MoM for me is Ardie Savea. BBBR a close second.

Positives: BB looked sharp, Laumape solid, Reece didn't look out of place, Dane Coles getting back into form, Coltman's breakdown work, Cane's return.

Negatives: The second half, Coltman's throwing, Leadership. Jordie Barrett stank

[Stargazer]

@rotated And some rookies. I wouldn't call them B-level just yet.

[Machpants]

God I shouldn't watch the first test of the season,, always utter ar$e. Jags scramble and rush was excellent, they pushed the limit and Angus let them get away with, well played. Combine that with pushed passes and tits for hands meant a close game.

Boks are going to be a handful, thankfully I'm not going to watch at the caketin, so we might actually win it!

[shark]

It's rare that I feel I've wasted two hours of my life watching the All Blacks, but that's the feeling I have now. Crap game from a crap selection.
