All Blacks vs Boks
-
Cudos to the younger, bigger Barrett brother. Had a great game I thought. Worth giving a chance from the start?
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel It's time for Akira Ioane to make his debut.
Barrett went bloody well at 6 though. Maybe he added some of the workrate that has been missing?

The gap between Coles and Taylor has well and truly closed; there's not much between them anymore. It's the question who comes next that gives reason to worry.
Aumua ...

Promising, but too soon to tell.

Have NZ won the championship cup already? I see Read with a trophy??

@Pot-Hale Freedom Cup. Only played for between NZ and SA.

Ah ok. They'll have to wait until next week then. 😏

They might as well have.

The Ioane brothers are possibly the most gifted players in NZ. If they both achieve their potential we are farking going to carve up going forward.
It's been difficult to gauge SB this season (he usually only gets 5 minutes) but what I like is his ability to do the job in tight while also being capable of ridiculous things like he did tonight.

We try to plan it so there's a different cup to drink from each week.
(Sorry - that game has truly upped my Arrogance, Hubris, and Condescension attributes) -

Yep - another grand slam in the offing.

(Sorry - that game has truly upped my Arrogance, Hubris, and Condescension attributes)It's getting harder to lap this shit up privately, but pretend to be genuinely concerned about the poor opposition in public.

England will be tough, Eddie has actually become a pretty handy coach.
-
@Stargazer I thought he actually played well, especially if you compare him on attack to Barrett - who I thought took some awful options.

@Gunner said in All Blacks vs Boks:
The SA coach spoke very well considering his team just got butt fucked.
Nice change from some of his recent predecessors.
Sky UK didn't show any of the post-match chats - annoying, I was actually looking forward to them.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel Well, Ireland and the Lions might have something to say about that.

@Stargazer said in All Blacks vs Boks:
Dmac was average again tonight, but unfortunately the result of the test won't force the coaches into considering dropping him.
It was an easy game for him and he did drop one early but he was better today. Looked more assured under the high ball and made good decisions to run towards his support.
