    No complaints re shot clock but I think we can expect a few fans chanting it down once in to the final 10, particular for opposition players.

    Or having a bit of fun with it by starting a 10 countdown when there is still 20 seconds to go and then letting out a yell to try and throw would be kickers off if they are still trying their approach.

    At a guess, when the English kick penalties or conversions, a good part of the crowd will loudly countdown with the shot clock to pressure him.

    @Nepia the stats clearly show that Sotutu is well below the other loosies selected when it comes to the tough stuff:

    Lies, damn lies and statistics. Sotutu was used for the Blues in a similar way that teams use Savea.

    Sotutu's job was to pass (kick!) and run (and score trys). We had hardworking flankers to cover the rest, otherwise known as balance. He's pretty much like for like cover for Savea.

    If he was asked to play a tighter role, he has the ability and fitness to do that. This reminds of when the Blues used to play Akira out wide and people complained about his workrate. When Cotter (and the ABs) wanted him closer in, he did it with ease.

    IMO, player that can play multiple stlyes is useful for a squad, but what the fuck do I know.

    @Kirwan yeah the stats can be so misleading if you don't know what the player was meant to be doing. Example from last weekend is Pat T was used as a ball runner as he's so effective at that, which means he will always hit less rucks, as if he's at the bottom of a ruck he won't be available to take the ball. SB and Dalts clearly had a direction to smash into every ruck they could to free up the likes of Pat T to perform other roles.

    would be annoying if true, perofeta had the kind of game that he could have built on, no howlers, couple of very tidy moments

    Phew - coming from you, that means Perofeta is guaranteed to start at 15 again 💪

    @Duluth said in All Blacks vs England 2:

    I'd prefer it if there wasn't a visible shot clock. The kickers have plenty of time

    The reason you need a clock is because you are time wasting. You are either trying to prevent a kickoff, use up time during a card, or burn time at the end of the match because you are in front. All negative time wasting

    Kiwis get all hot about time wasting in other areas of the game but not this one

    Also, fans should criticise their player when they fuck up not the officials. It shouldn't be their job to hand hold you during time wasting. At most a ref should say "Hurry up"

    The ref warned DMac. He seems to just ignore. Maybe with a shot clock a team mate could stand close by and tell him to hurry TFU

    if it was me I would make the following chanegs to the starting team

    Ratima
    Proctor
    Clarke replaces MT

    I think this team would suit their gameplan more. If it was a smash and bash Blues gameplan then Christie and RI starting

    Wrong headline. Should read "Robertson to recall Richie McCaw and Ma'a Nonu to counter threat of Toby Flood"
