@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..!

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.
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?

I still find it amazing that, a few games out from RWC2019, we are still unsure of our best team and combination.

After the way he played against the Lions I really thought the AB coaches would be all over him, moulding him into a Kaino-style 6. I mean the AB coaches are meant to be the best around, surely we could expect them to make the most of the talent we have available? Add that to the fact they’ve persevered with people like Fifita and it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

A few things stood out for me even accounting for the Red Card
No apparent game plan
Stupid chip kicks
A desire to go wide too early instead of doing the Hard yards up front.
Savea and Cane does not work we need a power forward at 6
Put Barrett back to First Five Ritchie back to the bench
we need RM and Ardies impact from the bench against tiring defences
Sorry I love Bender but he's too slow for wing
Finisher on the other wing maybe Reece need some X factor
And I hate to admit it but maybe SBW back as a point of difference.
We need to wake up and stop trying to overthink everything and back our skill sets. -

Yep, the idea that Fifita has a better workrate or fitness than Ioane is insane.

A 20 point hiding added to the 2 previous shit performances.... I don’t think anyone is over reacting.
I haven’t seen anything positive enough in these last three games to fill me with any sort of confidence.
Forgive me if I’m not singing from the rooftops.
