All Blacks vs Fiji

@African-Monkey if Blackadder is a light weight against Fiji with 36 meters from 6 runs what the hell does that make Jacobson with 2 running meters for the whole game. It’s quite clear a number of people on the fern can’t stand Blackadder and will never accept his efforts regardless of what he does.

@African-Monkey
Jacobson had 3 runs for 2 meters and Blackadder 6 runs for 36 meters. Your observations are clearly clouded by some sort of bias. -
@Stag Never said I was huge in Jacobsen either.
He made 1 run in the first half where he went about 10 meters, before not keeping his weight and giving away a penalty for nit releasing, then made a good run in the midfield from a set piece early in the 2nd half off the top of the line out (part of the good things he did if you read my post). When he gets the ball off first phase from most line outs off the top, he is going to make a few meters per carry. My criticisms were also more defense and breakdown related too.
I notice you're always angry and sulking on here lol, lighten up a bit.

Some tough decisions to be made.
The team that started against England wasn't the top side. -
@BerniesCorner Slight difference in class of opposition today compared to England I think it's fair to say?
-
Yeah but it's obvious some guys have a quicker pass, others can distribute the ball under pressure. Some aren't phased by test rugby and have a high work rate.
-
I can't believe they didn't use Clarke during the England series - I mean how many times would have it been better to have Caleb punching and getting over the gain line rather than Telea dodging 5 tacklers and getting caught behind the advantage line?
-
Ardie made forty metres, best 7 defenders, and I thought he was pretty anon for Ardie. Sititi made 24m and 8 tackle no misses in 25 mins. He was the only loosies that was really good this game. I'll give Jacobsen line out tick, tho. But 4 misses out of eleven, is not good bladder. Two metres is not good Jacobsen. Ardie did the same as their best bits combined in 55 mins, and sititi almost did in25!

@BerniesCorner England applied a lot more pressure defensively both at ruck time and with their line speed, Fiji were passive asf in all areas of their defensive side of the game, so I think today's crew had it a lot easier than the guys who played in the 2 tests v England.

Not sure i'd be making definitive statements about test rugby in a game vs a weakened Fiji

Fuck I hate the BB chip kick.
He used up all his tin arse years ago
Some would say he saved a little and used it last weekend...

He was injured.
