RWC: All Blacks v Namibia (Pool B)
-
All of TSF 'overreacting' in the first half...
Ta'avao confirmed Hansen didn't hold back in his halftime chat with some strong messages.
"One hundred percent and he had every right to be," Ta'avao said. "And the boys probably, although we were aware of that, we needed it. It sort of showed; the boys came out firing in the second half.

:More to the point, has Twitter melted down over any photoshopped stills of our blatant cheating as yet?
It's coming, every ruck and tackle has to be analyzed so a hint of wrong doing can be found, then complain that the AB's get away with everything and how unfair life is.
Anyway.... thought Jordie went well at 10, better than I thought. ALB superb as we are used to now.
Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for the halftime chat. -

Not if Shag was throwing stuff at the wall said fly was occupying.

"Taylor said that while the All Blacks don't do specific training drills on how to defend against someone who dives low before contact, they do try to tackle under the ball. "
You'd fucking hope they start looking at it now! Potentially game losing event

:@Machpants maybe he meant Goodhue outshone by his mid-field partner?
It's 'stuff.co.nz' so remember it's bizarro world. Either the Namibian centre did awesome or ALB.
To be fair, after looking like he had concrete boots early on, I thought Goodhue was pretty decent in the second half. High work rate, involved in a lot of linking plays. He's on the right trajectory.

@Marty yeah when you look at his runs/metres, tackles, off loads, he got through some work, more than I thought he had done on first viewing.
Will be interesting to see where the coaches go with the mid-field, as you get the feeling they have been wanting the SBW-Goodhue one, but the Crotty-ALB one put out the best performance of the year so far, while the ALB-Goodhue one is the one they would dearly love to work as this will be our combo next year...and then the SBW-Crotty one has numbers on the board.

On that analysis I reckon they will go for SBW/ALB

After this TV1 news went to another clip with Reece saying that he expects when they get to the Hotel TJ will be telling the wingers thats how they need to do it.

He wasn't spectacular, but looked confident and more comfortable than in his previous outing, so yeah, moving in the right direction after a long lay-off.
Thought Reiko improved as well. Not there yet by some way, but some nice touches.

I'd think that's dead cert if we end up playing England

@No-Quarter anyone know why they've put a 100 in the tweet? A hundred what's?
