Sharks vs Blues
-
I'm starting to get concerned at the NZ sides(Excluding Crusaders) in the first 2 rounds so far. Our execution of the basics has been absolutely dire, I would hate to see lineout completion stats for the NZ sides, just fucking terrible. The amount of dropped balls and pushed passes is too much.
We are not respecting field possession and territory, perhaps we have relied on our supreme counter attack ability and individually brilliant players. I think what the rest of the world are doing is focusing on excellent D and linespeed forcing the opposition into mistakes and allowing the attack to come.
I really hope we can turn it around but geez a few of these games have been hard to watch.

@African-Monkey wasn’t Akira also going to dominate super rugby and force his way into WC squad.
Blues you have shit halves. Ruru and Pulu are provincial players at best. Black is average too.
Can sometime tell me how reiko is a superstar for the all blacks but average for the blues.
Why are the crusaders good. Because they develop these kids from 17. Get them into the culture early. Their fitness levels are crazy already.
Good luck blues your fun to watch.Akira dominated your mob, fairly comfortably. Remember that game? You had to rely on a friendly ref and our kicker to miss the last kick to win that one.
By your logic, does that mean the Crusaders suck?
Troll posts are boring.
- No, he didn't. Wishful thinking.
- Sore loser alert.

Yeah he did. Watch him brush off good defenders like Todd like they weren’t even there.
Richie won’t have fond memories of being swatted away either.
Sore winner alert.

@chimoaus if rest of the world you mean T14, GP etc, then I would disagree. Some of the rugby on display in those comps is pretty dire at times, particularly the defence.
If you are referring to test rugby then trying to compare a couple of Super rugby rounds at the start of a RWC year, is probably not fair.
No doubt there are some issues to sort through, but it’s only two rounds.
