@nepia 1 decent game in about 2 years? But yeah hopefully he can perform a role which he's failed to do in a while.
We know these coaches have a history of selecting on one decent game.
But yep, I hope it's a return to regular form for him.

Franks tired after too much ball running.
I'm sure when Owen sees the tryline close he takes a voluntary tackle.

@machpants Japan is the only game that I can see him getting a rest in. Can't play Barrett and Patty T together against a Tier 1 team imo, our lineout will really suffer.
And our scrum with Pat T.

@rancid-schnitzel NMS also tore it up in NPC.

In 2018?
He tore it up at Super and international level in 2015 as well.

Actually, on NMS. Fuck that makes me angry watching that first try and seeing him come in off his wing to tackle a guy who was already clearly well and truly covered. What kind of a fucking decision was that? There was no overlap and not even the hint of an overlap. He's got to go.

@rancid-schnitzel yep so more recently than Jordie 😁

Not only that, but TJP farked up the tackle. Got turned inside out, and just didn't recover. Disappointing from a usually good defender.

I really want Alaimalo in the AB setup ASAP. He's very classy and his game looks well suited to test footy. I hope they don't persist with NMS for much longer.

@bones said in All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson:
I can forgive TJP, that was a magical run by Moyano.
Their back three played really well. The 15 try in the second half off a pop pass was a thing of beauty - just magnificent to watch, and bloody impossible to defend.

@nzzp haven't watched it again but that would usually be what your blindside winger is tracking to tidy up...
Yep - but he hung off, didn't seem to be able to effect the tackle, and wound up over the line with the Argie. I was frustrated. May have had a beer, but was frustrated

Yep. If his speed is gone then he better do everything else farking perfectly. That was shocking.
