They have created lots - points will come.
The game thread is dominated by people who think the game is 40mins long.

Has Jordie ever bust through a tackle?
Once. When he was playing backyard footie versus Beauden.
(Almost got that wrong. Don't hurt me @booboo )
Que?

We aren’t getting much in attack from our midfield so our 10,14 and 15 are taking matters into their own hands. Not always taking the best option.
Shame we’ve left a few points out there. Overall the defensive pressure and ruck work has been top drawer.
-
Well, 40mins of absolute forward dominance and we are 10 points up. And only a small portion of credit goes to the defense.
Our ability to beat defender 1-on-1 is evident, but mostly it's decision making that is killing us. Such a clear lack of patience and a want for the hero pass/kick.
Very hard to watch.
-
All our problems out there were tactical. Attitude and intensity were great. If someone thinks there is a problem with our attack, I think they expect too much. We aren't going to blast another team away. We have mixed up our attack well. The problem is all the fucken kicking especially when we get into a good position.
The Pumas have been terrible with the ball and only good defensively. We should have put on 2 extra tries. We shouldn't be happy with that.
-
Forwards so much better, backs still look out of shape, jb seems to have spent more time in the midfield or the other wing than his own

Back line attack looks pretty tepid.
Its certainly not a great backline
Actually the backs look ok. Just impatient with kicking and it’s accuracy.

Pretty much sums it up. Jordie's been far more involved but with bugger-all impact. Swap him for Reiko I reckon.
Have to say that Caleb Clarke has a great all-round game - not just a dangerous openfield runner.
-
On watching the Caleb missed try he had to come in to catch the ball then got an ankle tap as he went for the corner , hence the Unco looking stumble
-
Watching the scrums again, Akira and SB really seem to have added some oomph.
