@Kirwan You love twisting my words. Why don't you focus on someone else on the Fern for change?
How about stop telling people how to spend their time because they criticise your favourite players?
Just saying "he was shit" isn't criticism, it's just shitposting.
Shit chips to nowhere seem to be gameplan that's why ALB and Rangitoto Beauden were doing them too. RM took the ball to the line well, found his support, and set plays as well as he could have with his halfback being monstered and little support from his pack.
Interested to see if you have any other examples of him being "shit".
you know what, i half agree with you. RM was not the reason we lost that. BUT
He is the 10. He is supposed to be in charge of our team. And i no way would the coaches have him in such a tight leash he can only do one thing. He was poor today, really poor. Not all his fault, but he didn't help himself.

What's wrong with Reece at 14?
Terrible defence at SR and NPC level. Caught out of position against Argentina.

Well if that all I was saying you’d be right, but thanks for the strawman.
It’s a failed experiment. The dual playmaker thing didn’t work with McKenzie either.
For all his faults BB is the best ten in the squad, it’s why we looked better in patches when he came up from fullback. When RM is at first receiver, the backline looks terrible.
-
If the BB/RM combo isn't working (for whatever reason) 2-3 games out from RWC2019, it's too late to continue with it.
That's no reflection on the players - it's just common sense.
-
@mariner4life not for today. For Tokyo. For Barrett's inevitable example setting 6 weeks and because he's playing again and we're fucken pansies at the moment.
The best of a green bunch for 50 minutes -
@Victor-Meldrew I'd say it's too soon to stop. They've only played this combo twice.
I also think our backline would work better with Crotty in it.

And Hall at halfback?

And David Havili at 15 right

@Victor-Meldrew when was the last time we had the same centre pairing start consecutive matches?

Aussie centre pairing seemed to go just fine first game together.

Jeez the bitchiness is out in force in this thread. The ABs get spanked and the Fern eats itself.

A couple of things to put this into perspective:
-
@taniwharugby I feel extremely sorry for ALB. Every bloody week he has different guys around him.
-
@KiwiMurph not what I was getting at though...plus I don't care about Aussie
-
Our pack needs a rethink with basically no games left between us and the world cup. that is not an ideal proposition.

Been a few people worried about the direction we’ve been going for a while now. This is a nadir moment though.
