Forecast looks rubbish...
30km/h northerly wind and rain....Probably going to be messy

Beaudy, ALB, DMAC, TJP for example you arent fearing for your safety.
Bender, Conrad, DC, Nuggie ...
Bender was tough as old boots. He clattered Picamoles in 2015 going for a high ball.
Conrad was tough as fuck too. He'd cut the knees off you. He actually put in the second best tackle I think ive ever seen (after Warburton on Tuilagi) against South Africa. I think it was on JDV but Pienaar ended up scoring anyway. A proper daisy cutter. See below at 3 mins 20 seconds. Like falling an oak tree.
DC would put you on your arse and flog the ball off you too, and also had a GOAT fend.
Nuggie I'll give you. But I think nit picking over a scrummie is disingenuous.
I think im making a fair point.
We are a nice team to play these days. No looking over your shoulder to see where Brad Thorn or Collins or Nonu or Kaino is. Lads who like hurting you...legally.
Im not looking for a Richard Loe. Im looking for a 2018 Sam Cane.

Essentially, we are seeing that Joe Schmidt is a better international coach than Razor is after 4 games in Charge.
It's early. Joe has runs on the board. Razor has to show he can make the step up. Interesting times

This weather is perfect for direct forward play, and a controlled performance from 10 with effective kicking for territory

So 30 years of Eden Park results on the line tonight. I still remember the "Time to unplug the Mains" headline in one of the Sunday rags after the last one. Surely the All Black forwards can't be that mud two weeks in a row. Surely...
They tease us with 10 minutes of "what could be" last week. If we play direct.win the collisions and clean well, we will win and win well

Here's Warburton's for what it's worth. Hang it in the fucking Louvre.

I suspect DC tackled harder than it appeared to fans as his technique was so efficient but he was a compact 90+ kg guy targetting a small but effective point of impact.

DC was the unicorn. He could run, he could dictate play, he could kick and pass, he could tackle. He is the GOAT 10 and we have to accept that his kind don't grow on trees. BB, RM and DM can't do all the things DC did. We have to work out what we value and what areas we are prepared to sacrifice when talking about the current crop

Nobody got change going down his channel.

In terms of power, mass x acceleration they are. SAs big backs are slower and their fast backs are smaller. Rieko and Caleb have size and speed/acceleration combined.
Kriel and Am say hi
Not to mention De Allende and Esterhuizen who are the kind of athletes Jordie fans wish he was. Perhaps not quite as quick as Reiko or Caleb but absolute bulldozers in attack nonetheless.
Clarke is big, Ioane is pretty lean in comparison

@Jet said in All Blacks v Argentina II:
Sometimes the truth hurts
Yeah, up to a point. I stopped watching when one of them ( not Victor) said Clarke was no good under the high ball.
Is that the perception people have? Really? -

DMac is one of the toughest and bravest players out there. Not sure your judgement is that great on this topic if youre including him in your not manly man group.

Looking forward to the match. Clarke, Rieko and Jordan are all significant upgrades, if we can get just parity in the forwards we'll have too much fire power for them. That said, the weather will be a bit of a leveler.
