Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

Not sure we will win with more X factor players. We need players that do their core roles well. Two lost lineouts on their line, missed touch finder on penalty, chip kicking to defence, catch and pass in critical moments, dropping the ball in malls, lack of urgency across the game. Fuck X factor players. They can be X factor after they do the basics.

You mean exactly like how Argentina played today?

@JC The performance was so flat that I can't even bother getting mad. I just feel tired instead.
Yep, I just can’t find a shit to give about this. 5 years ago you could count on one hand the teams that had won a test match against the All Blacks. Now?

There's only one thing you want to need two hands for and that isn't it

We were always going to lose to the Argies one day, but shouldn’t have happened today, no fucking way.
The previous regime lost to Ireland x2, got butt fucked by England in a World Cup semi final.... so the succession planning of having Foster locked in 4 years ago is actually working, as we’re just getting more of the same.
Lucky we aren’t playing Scotland, Japan or Fiji this year or we’d turn history on its head even more by losing to them too!
Man it was boring when we knew the ABs just had to turn up and they’d win every game eh?

Gregor Paul’s take is good:
“What’s now beyond dispute is that the All Blacks have an endemic problem with discipline.”
