All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson

NMS is pointless. I'd prefer ALB on the wing.
Mounga worth persevering with of course but that performance puts him easily 3rd in line for ten.
Good to see Frizzell hit his straps.
Goodhue, wow. Man he reads the game so well. Doesn't really put a foot wrong and such a good decision maker.

Like the way he and ALB work together.
Midfield options now look good with either ALB/Goodhue or Crotty/SBW looking solid. Just think we need to get some stable combinations.

I haven't watched a minute of it, but
Giving up that many points at home is unacceptable.
That doesn’t take into account the opposition, the Argies were good for the points they scored. Best wingers on the field we’re not wearing black.
Cheers. Is it worth the replay?
Dunno, it will show you Frizzles good play in the first 30, then struggling with fitness after that. Hanson was concerned about that in the press conference, but was happy he pushed through it.
We were put under a lot of pressure and defended well, and hit back after conceding points multiple times. Was some quality points scored.
Maybe the highlights would be enough

Hard to go past an ALB Goodhue partnership for next year.
Cough cough Jordie Goodhue cough cough.

Forgot to mention the great cameo by Ta-who-ree-oh-rung-ee. Was brilliant, a very nice blend of Smith and Perenara.

@rancid-schnitzel nah he can't even make the bench when the ABs have a club standard player on the wing.

Just on Frizzell for the last time - all the fern agrees we need options at 6 to replace Kaino. Squire is a reasonable choice, and is generally pretty decent, but even if he is the man, you can't put all your eggs into the Squire basket. So the coaches are obliged to try other options - they lost Vito and Luatua, Fifita didn't fit the bill, and they were probably going to give the luckless Taufua a shot. Frizzell seems worth an investment, and his game today was probably a 7/10. He certainly has the physical attributes for 6 anyway, although not sure yet if he is genuine lineout option. In any case, coaches seem damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Ok. How do you pronounce the name of the latest NZ sub?

@majorrage I'm really liking their game, they've added an extra little bit on defence and have obviously worked on decision making. It'll take them far if they stick with it.
I just hope they keep it up against Aus instead of the typical poo performance.
