Bledisloe #2

The injury gods are not smiling on us this year.

Stargazer

F*ck, I hope RM is okay and that his injury isn't too serious! Damn.

Hope Richie's ok.

Jordie..... gulp.

Yeah, nah

Victor Meldrew

I'm actually finding it hard to pick the best AB.

All have been excellent and a few playing their best game in Black for quite some time while the new boys are playing like old hands.

Fuck that was awful from the wobs

19 yellow in from the side of the ruck right in front of ref...

MadGav

@Victor-Meldrew best part was absorbing early pressure.

Donsteppa

Much, much hungrier in the pack in this week/since the 25 minute mark.

Simmons in from side and no penalty?

NTA

So we're about get held to nil.

Fuck.

But it's kind of the same thing that has been "us" for the last few years: lack of intensity, skill execution - particularly in the attacking 22.

That ruck is a perfect example

ACT Crusader

That was a solid take down on Richie. Would’ve hurt.

Good to see our pack go hunting for the ball like that.

@Victor-Meldrew Defence has been such a massive improvement.

NTA

Simmons in from side and no penalty?

Read never releasing the ball or rolling away either.

It's Jaco.

Any 10s fit?

Yeetyaah

Fuck not Richie.
