All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II

[Tim]

Crap! Thought that was good until the replay.

[canefan]

Amazing how things look so different when the 9 is clearing the ball quickly... 🤷

[booboo]

Corner

[Machpants]

Smith is so much faster is unbelievable

[Steve]

DMAC wasn't getting fast pill like this.

No he wasn't - but nor did he make the right decisions with the ball he was getting.

[Stargazer]

Leicester doing what we haven't seen Clarke do: using his leg drive to get closer to the try line. Playing like a power winger.

[booboo]

I always take points, but this time ...

Yeah I don't like the way Fozzie has set up the first half team to fail

[nostrildamus]

was that a shoulder by Korobeite on ALB?

[taniwharugby]

@Steve yep, a combination of things conspired against so much of play in the 1st, already we seem to be playing.more direct and Smiths speed of.pass changed the game already

Way back at the start of the thread I side 'i wonder what DMac will look like with Christie handbrakes' we can see he looks shit

[Donsteppa]

The difference an actual halfback makes.

Would be interesting to see how RM looks with Christie at 9. Not great I'd wager. The difference in separation between the two lines with Smith on is remarkable

[Stargazer]

Please, no injury to Sam!

[taniwharugby]

Oh shit...get up sam

Yeah don't know, Christie is not upto this level, or at least with the way the abs want to play

[canefan]

Nice play RM

First game against the argies it happened

[Steve]

An Injury to Rieko, Jordie, Scooter or Aaron Smith and our RWC chances are toast.

Threadbare at centre, scrum half, and we only have 3 test standard locks. The two old timers and Scott Barrett.
