Is that a red for Frizell?
Same thing that happened to Cane IMO
No. I reckon Frizell's was incidental. Wilson's was more reckless.

All Blacks seriously need some succession planning at halfback. The gap between Aaron Smith and the rest is that big.
@canefan looks like TJP has kicked someone else's cat too!

How shit is Perenara?
Dare I say it, even Brad Weber would be an upgrade
only in passing.
TJP is a bit Marshall-like -- brings a lot more aroudn the field. His try against Namibia remember, just incredible athelticism
He brought nothing in this game and hasn't for years.
When was the last time he came on in a match and actually improved the team's performance? I appreciate that might be an unfair question, because most substitutes come on and try too hard when the match has basically been decided, but he's played enough tests where we can judge his value properly as a bench option. IMHO, he has little value as a bench option
Bullshit.
Answer the question
His passing can be laboured, but he does a lot of good stuff. His defence is excellent, he generates turnovers, he runs strongly with the ball
And that doesn't answer the question - tell me when, FFS
Fuck you. Did you not read I've been drinking? I don't even remember the question let alone formulate a cohesive answer!
You must be completely shitfaced if you can't see how shit TJP is
How may have you had bro?
I don't drink

Something else noticed.
Ozzie comms way way less one eyed. Kearns saying scrum penalties correct, Kafer back to early broadcasting Kafer.
Not much to complain about when you have a scoreline like that

Wet weather, massive blow out, fun memories of athletic park.
43-6 back in 1996.
This was one point worse for the Aussies, 43-5.
Record margin, but the performance probably didn't deserve it, given we didn't play for 30 minutes after halftime.
But given we didn't play for 30 minutes after half time what a thrashing.

Do you blokes ever get tired of Aus being complete push overs?
Why do we play so many of these fucken things, clearly not on the same level.
No
But @Derpus given I live on the left side of the pond I did enjoy the buzz around rugby after Wellington, and I'd like the game to get some better press.

Random thoughts in no particular order.
Frizzel got stopped a few times eh, but really happy with his game. His workrate was immense, I'd be really interested in seeing stats for carries/tackles/rucks. In saying that, be interested to see what the other options can do now and if they'll be as amazeballs as all the Frizzel knockers think they'll be.
Really wish we could move on from Perenara. Or he could move on from being an egg and at least try and concentrate on being good at rugby instead of being good at arsehole. When the ref is saying to you, very shortly after running on the field "don't shout at me like that", maybe it's time to pull your head in. Hopefully someone like Roe can advance next year.
Coles, locks, Cane, Smith, Mounga, Clarke, ALB all awesome. Very comfortable starting debut from Sotutu and solid from Tuungafasi and Beauds. Pretty mixed bag from Jordie, but still a lot better than yesteryear.
Seems I'm out of touch on the officials, thought bok was very good and the cards were fair, as well as tmo.

Lolesio too green to be critical, but Rennie needs some gold at 10. Simmons depowers OZ forwards - @NTA isn't there ANYONE else?
🤔
Harrison. Who is also 21.
I was ambiguous. I meant alternative to Simmons at lock.

Is Arnold's arm mended yet?

Will have to watch again but thought Frizell was really good, as he was in Auckland.

He was ridiculously busy, especially in the first half. Pretty low impact ball in hand but certainly didn't stop him doing it time and time again, which must have an influence on the opposition defence.

I said it earlier, I thought he had a really strong game, him and Whitelock were the pick of the forwards for me. I do feel like this back row is a very tight one, no one shirks the hard stuff and they just get buried in everything. Great for wet weather matches. I think with Ardie a little looser, more turnovers and more on the wide channels. Both combinations great, love having all four players in the 23.

Gotta agree. They complement and play off each other really well. Frizell may not knock people back like Sam Cane does but, jeez, he gives 100%.
