Should have been penalised for collapsing. He overextends, so its very easy to suck him into that. Gym strong was important when scrums had hits, not so much now. Think Karl is better at scrum time.
..and every prop that has played for the AB's in the past two years offers more around the field

I’m a big fan of ALB but that was his worst game by the length of the straight.
All that crabbing and going backwards was awful.
Looking forward to seeing next weeks team naming.
When is the team named?Never been a huge fan of him at 12 either. Looked better at 13 but then again Laumape is not a ball playing 2nd 5 so ALB was having to play a game he’s not really accustomed too.

Watch the bookies still make us favourites for the WC

@hydro11 I know, but someone mentioned he can't tackle.
I said he was a shit defender. That’s why they have to hide him on the wing.

Ah, another TSF meltdown. Everyone completely overreacting as usual.
Point of order here young man. If you're not outraged by those fluffybunnies putting 40 plus on us, then you're no use at all to the rank and file of the diehard All Black fan.
It's one thing for an All Black to not score tries.
It's another thing for an All Black to not fucken tackle!
Take your soy and jog on!
This is an humiliating loss.
Don't worry, I'm upset by the loss, esp because it's against the Aussie. But the outrage and esp the blame game is excessive.

@Tim, Akira only has himself to blame, nobody else ..no question he has talent..but when it comes to attitude and work ethic..it’s way down the pecking order..!

And how about the shit play since last Rugby Championship?

@Steven-Harris My contention is that Hansen has handled him wrong, as Graham Henry pointed out. The same way Hansen f*cked up with Steven Luatua - a better player than any of the bums available now.

@Kirwan Ah, you think I'm talking about you again.
You don’t move good tacklers from their position to hide them.

Forget the performance for a minute
ABs have gotten away with playing poorly for last 2 years and have won
The simple fact All Blacks conceded FOURTY SEVEN points is enough to stage an intervention
NZ have been by far the best side in World Rugby this decade
To then concede 47 points is shocking and utterly disgraceful
Guys are likely to get dropped as a result
Say Scott Barrett gets a 6 game ban, he only gets onto the plane to Japan because of Brodie Retalicks shoulder injury

I doubt they’ll change a thing. The coaches are pretty arrogant.

Yep, Luatua, vs Fifita who openly didn’t want to do the hard yards FFS....

I was a fan of the twin playmakers until tonight. We need more creativity and direction at 10 and 12 in big tests. Mo'unga and Laumape defended well, but do not seem to create well in tighter spaces, and our defensive patterns seem shakier. Barrett still creates plenty and ALB creates gaps with footwork and offloads. Get Beauden back to 10 please.
Why do seem to lose our attacking confidence whenever Retallick is missing?
