RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia

@taniwharugby

Yup, and you can’t blame them as we want them to play heads up rugby.

Also, it is probably counter productive to play the kind of rugby we want to in the qtr final etc as it will be easy to implement against Namibia but it gives our opponents a lot of data to analyse.

I am keen to see better discipline in areas such as set piece, defence and accuracy in breakdown work. That’s what we can take out of it I suppose.

Opposition is not very good. But Roigard surely has to be the bench 9. Just takes the right options every time.

We don't know how he'll go against top teams and when under pressure, but the signs are he'll do OK. His last two appearances will have done wonders for his confidence.

He's only played against second tier teams. Like SA...

He did a couple last game, but stopped after half time

Pearce has had a decent game so far. He’s a better referee than Barnes or the other English ref who did the Boks game at Twickenham.

[sparky]

ABs concede another penalty.

The question should be why?

Pearce is an excellent ref

Lol Ofa and Nepo are a circus act. Bunch of clowns.

Half time chat from foster

Namibia have done well since half time.

[sparky]

Namibia with another penalty.

[antipodean]

Always Ofa.

Just like France

Do we need a discipline coach?

[Machpants]

Ofa again

[Steven Harris]

Same old suspects giving away penalties

@stodders Agreed. If he is just a pale imitation of Smith, what does he offer? Impact? Variation? Strategic advantage? X-factor? That’s a no!

Hey, stop that right now. He can’t help being a Ranga.

Our 2nd halves all year have been poor
