Exits will be interesting in this game. Something we have been unable to nail so far.
BB can be flakey with his exits. Has TJ managed a single box kick that hasn't been charged down in the RC? There is no Jordy there to offer support.
Our exit strategy is quite predictable based on those stats.
Do we have the tight five to smash our way out of the 22? Based on the metres per carry of our starting tight forwards I would say no.
I’d love to see the kick metre stats on those exits
Am not sure I would.

Comparing players' exit kicks stats would be interesting.

I thought the Crusaders got away with a lot of professional fouls under Robertson and Ryan - taking their play to the edge. Maybe it flys under the NZ teams giving the dominant team the benefit of the doubt but at test level the refs aren't buying it.
Hey that's my fucking drum!

Are we going to dine out on defensive dinks?

Bloody beautiful day here in the capital. No excuses tonight.

We've never lost to Australia with Blackadder playing.
Not sure if true but sounds good.

Yep, will hear plenty of 'just give Razor time', 'he doesn't have the cattle' bullshit from his admirers.
Having said that, ABs by 20+ surely. This Wallabies team is borderline tier 2.

I wouldn't class myself as an admirer, but in general I'm in the give him time camp.
For this game though, his selections are not trying anything new, they are TJ and BB to start FFS. You don't get any leeway on results if you're going to select the past. -

Agree the Saders gave away a lot of professional fouls, but it seems they also got punished a lot with cards. Card stats would be interesting to see.

Blackadder out the front of the stadium posing for photos. Can see why he loses collisions. Real undersized for a six.
118kg according to some reports. At 1.9m. But yeah, doesn’t have the Kaino/Collins physique. Or even Rueben Thorne if we’re being honest.
Then again, Richie McCaw was pretty underwhelming in the flesh and he went ok.
