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?
Triple-T ?
Racist.

@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.

Argies taking a lot of praise.
Pretty exciting back 3 they have, but scoreline snd game plan broadly similar to last years fixture
Have they sacrificed a traditional strength though?
What cliche will TJ have now?

@stargazer tackle stats are a bit mis leading, Naholo was out of position a couple of times on Argie breaks, and others tracking back to cover missed tackles that he should have been there to make (or miss)
Sure I saw Frizzell miss one too
