I don't get the love for Cane here. Did nobody see him drop it cold in that second half? Most players who do that get crucified here. He's probably short of a gallop, but at the moment Ardie is easily our best seven.
Probably given his 60 odd test record of quality play you aren't going to crucify a guy for dropping one ball in his first test back from massive back surgery? Just to see him out there not looking massively off the pace is a huge win IMO.
Ah no, I'm not, but that's standard here for some player. But fark me a 60 odd test AB and captain should not be dropping those. That was schoolboy stuff and was massive opportunity missed.
I have no idea how Ritchie McCaw lasted so long in the ABs. Must have been teachers pet or summink
That guy used to drop them cold too.
Bloody favourites.
After 60 tests and as captain? I don't think so. You seem to have this image of McCaw circa 2003 and can't get it out of your brain.

No. No I don’t. He also dropped the ball in his prime. Sometimes knocked it on. I’ve also seen Brodie drop it stone cold too. Maybe we should retrospectively lambast him for a one off event

Angus Gardener is such a shit coach. Pulling penalty calls out of his ass. Offside and playing the guy in the air at the end
Don't think he was that bad
Agree
Don't see what all the whinging is all about
If he missed anything then his AR's + TMO should have spotted it
Failing that players get cited
Folks are making a mountain of a molehill
Boulderdash. Reverse the side and you'd be calling for the player's head and demanding the ref be executed.

Yes, yes you do. Iirc you also had some bizzarre comment about his attacking skills a while back. He did not drop pill like that as captain.
Are we talking Brodie in this game? He certainly deserves criticism for his tits for hands against Ireland

Ever?
I can't refute that with evidence but I would be surprised.

Of course he dropped the ball, but I can't recall a drop like that at. At any rate, we're not talking about McCaw and it was a bad mistake. Can we at least agree on that?

I specifically remember Richie dropping one cold in the lead up to RWC15, which was used as ammo for the 'DC and Richie have past it' brigade calling for dropping them.
The point is that it's a bad mistake that deserves to be criticized, regardless of whether McCaw, Kronfeld, Mourie, Jones, Hobbs etc. may have done it as well.

Just watched the Ardie shoulder charge incident again. Disgraceful. Happened right in front of Gardner and he just waved it on. Could very easily have led to a try.
Have you got a time stamp?

You may as well do each individual then. In every game for every one off

You might as well shrug off an error by a player now with the argument that a guy who retired 4 years ago may have done the same thing.
