All Blacks vs Pumas II
-
Last week was the best game at 10 BB has played in ages. Bit rich to make out like that’s his standard until he strings some together.
Also a bit rich to make out that running sideways is something DMac does as a standard option. He does do it but mostly when cleaning up from a spilled pass or a kick through. When that happens he has to buy time and look for a way to not get caught while the support gets behind him. RM does the same. They aren’t as strong as BB who can stand in the tackle a bit better.
What I would like to see more of tonight is DMac distributing sharp passes into gaps in front of runners. Those are the money balls for gaining ground and making breaks. -

I have feeling this won't be as easy as last week. Should be a good test for the new faces.
Its a proper B team from us, so it could get a bit worrying if that front five doesn’t stand up. Plus Dmac is at 10, so I imagine we all might need a few deep breaths.

We will be right Moody will get better with some more game time Ofa back on the bench Ardie there. And Taylor and Scott Barrett on the bench.
Combinations in the backs may cause some hickups. -

I hope they all have blinders.

@l_n_p I'd be surprised to find anyone that doesn't rate Jane. Fairly unique in that you knew he'd never let the jersey down...
Tell us the story about when he ran around you in a club game
He didn't need to. He was already past me before I even saw him.
Edit: just for you though, I'll claim I couldn't see past pow's toilet from fullback.

According to Stan, if we win by 15 points tonight we go back to number 1.
Nope, we cannot get more than .38. Ozzie needed to win by 16 for us to go top

Be a nicer achievement taking it off the bokke when we beat them...

On the 100th game too isn’t it. That would be sweet.
