All Blacks vs Pumas I

NTA

Remember when that was an automatic yellow?

I'm glad we've moved on

I want to like Bridge, sensible player, good work rate, just not what you need from a winger in terms of power, pace or evasiveness.

Excellent. 39 without loss at drinks.

Tim

Love that nil.

nostrildamus

Injuries? Akira? He might be due for a rest anyway...

Blah finish. The good thing in the first 50 was the direct attack, and patience. Really wore the Argies down. Lost lost a bit of that.

Old Samurai Jack

About as dominant a performance as I have ever seen without the points being piled on.

@nzzp last couple of years

Tordah

I think that was the first game I've seen TJP play without a shit pass all night. He was much better than I anticipated

Who in the squad hasn't had a run?

Bones

@bones pretty sure those were his only off throws. A work on yes but he’s been superb everywhere else.

Eh? Even if they were his only off throws, it's not like Argentina are a lineout powerhouse. Those are very crucial throws in tighter test matches.

Kirwan

Who in the squad hasn't had a run?

Patrick?

Good stuff. Hats off to Foster and the coaches.

Lots of positives. BB and Brodie are back. Jacobson making strides forward. Defence a lot better.

But Bridge is a long way off Test level on the Wing.

African Monkey

@chimoaus Ennor but he's always injured anyway.

nostrildamus

@chimoaus Ennor? oh beaten to it. Possibly Sotutu's turn off the bench?

chimoaus

Are Ofa and Finlay there also?

Kirwan

@chimoaus Ennor but he's always injured anyway.

Just play him at wing so we can fuck off bridge.

chimoaus

Fuck me did you see Fafs hair, looks like a Wella Woman right there.

Who in the squad hasn't had a run?

Um, in NZ Dane, mo'unga, Whitelock, and Smith. Frizzle?

In Oz Patty T, Sotutu, ofa, Christie, that's it, I think. Oh Ennor?
