RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia
-
I think we have some of the right cattle, however who out of the current squad would you say are playing their best rugby? Roigard? Anyone else? That to me is a sign of poor coaching.

A starting backline of AS, LF, JB, RI, WJ, BB
Means we could have 6-2 split on bench with CR and DM...although the way our pack is going...
No Telea? I'm going all To Dare is to Do,
Smith, LF, RM (I'm tempted by DMac for the way he plays), JB, RI, Telea, Jordan. We ain't winning squat with BB at the back, so let's go
-
@canefan knew I was.missing someone haha...well he goes to 11 and LF to bench,

Yeah LF on the bench. No point having a 6-2 bench as our forwards aren't good enough. We've lost both our top props, that's enough to finish off what tiny hope we had

@taniwharugby Where’s RM?

Kepu talks well. Roigard to start, was he makes the opposition have to think. Must be after his bed time tho
That is the boss move. Throw in a kid with obvious talent who the opposition teams have barely seen

@His-Bobness he's in my edited post...

@ploughboy yep one wing turns slower than the titanic bearing down on an iceberg and another who trips over his own shadow

If EDG is going to miss the playoffs, someone needs to trip up Clarke at the hotel breakfast bar, spraining his ankle and opening the door to a Joe Moody call-up
Just play him against Uruguay and tell him to sidestep....

It's shite not supporting the smartest team

Shift them to the midfield. Bound to be an improvement.

I said it in another thread. Lets show them something they haven't seen before...DMAC, Roigard, (Stevenson). We are victims of our own success. They have so much film on Aaron Smith and Beaudy and Ardie et al. They know them better than they know themselves.

Seriously guys, that was a clear red card.
Why doesn't the tackle provide mitigation?
Illegal tackle technique trumps it

@Kirwan right or wrong, I don't think that is the real issue with it, it's the lack of consistency applied to other head contacts that is a problem.
Hit the nail on the head. I have no issue with that being red. But why isn't Kriels or Taufafenuas also red. Just make your minds up.
And for the love of christ don't do what you did in 2019 where it was like a game of black jack in the pools, with cards flying everywhere. Then in the knockout it was like my dad remembering my birthday, with not a card in sight!
