@Bones More the opposite.

Yeah good one. That's why I was one of the only ones to bring up Scott Barrett's contribution in the first half.

Can't wait to see the implosion if hooker selection comes down to Taylor and Thompson.

[Jailbreak7]

Paps has also been very good.

[JC]

Sammy W has to be our captain for the RWC.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Wales have won a turnover at a breakdown all game?

We seem to be more organised in that area than I've seen for a long time.

Not a complete AB performance, but there are some signs this team might be turning the corner.

I don’t think we have either though. Barnes encourages teams to hang on

Yeah, it's been the exact opposite of the BF v France game last night where the ref let players go for the turnover without any fear of consequences. Barnes has reffed the "clear release" from the tackler a lot more.

@Jailbreak7 2nd best player behind Ardie.

[Steve]

@No-Quarter said in All Blacks vs Wales:

Jordie has been superb at 12 again

He is a superb 12. His carries off first phase line out ball give me a trouser chubby.

[Bones]

Would have taken the 3 to get 50. Icing on Taylor's player of the year award

[JC]

Soni’s maul try is inevitable.

[Stargazer]

Awesome. We've passed the 50 mark.

[Jailbreak7]

Ha! ST gets the try anyway..

[No Quarter]

Absolutely owned them in every facet. Great stuff.

@JC said in All Blacks vs Wales:

Sorry but for me the 2 worst players in the team are BB and CC.

Hard to disagree.

CC has defended well but can't seem to catch the ball. Beauden has barely been involved like much of our backs.

Has he? I think he’s still struggling to read the play.

[JC]

A 32 point win and we should have been better.

[African Monkey]

Taukei'aho getting his usual meat pie. He's like the Erling Haaland of the team (slight exaggeration).

I have to pull you up on this finally

Sami is not Soni. I don't know who Soni is but he's really not featuring.

[broughie]

Smith has played to the game plan plus chipping in with a couple of tries. Close to MOTM by keeping the ball close to the rucks.

[Steve]

This boy is a an absolute gun.

I think he is the worlds best hooker already.

It’s what he calls himself.

Solid rather than spectacular. Which I'm more than happy with. Liked the way he dealt with the midfield changes as well.

[No Quarter]

So it turns out that when we out our top 15 out on the park we are still a formidable team
