Reds v Crusaders

That cleanout looked a little dodgy.
I would’ve let it go if not to stop Hall from falaying his arms like that.

ABs need to hire a specialist goalkicking coach to work with BB and RM.
Yes that’s all the ABs need, another hanger-oner taking up space.
There’s a million coaches in the setup, one of them just needs to get them to practice.

What about penalizing 19 for the dirty cleanout?
Seemed ok when Coles did it last night.

Strange going to high there.
BP gone arghhhhhhh

What's that bs about Mo'unga not being allowed to stay on the field. Hunt went off for a HIA, they should be allowed to replace him.
Think it's a good rule actually. As soon as Hunt fails/passes his HIA and doesn't come back on the extra replacement should go off.

Good to get a win in QLD on a humid night.

There aren't a million coaches working the ABs. Indeed there are school sides in England that have more coaches working with them than the ABs have.
Obviously a million voices in the players' heads would be a mistake. But a specialist goalkicking coach could help Barrett and Mo'unga. Neil Jenkins does wonders for the Welsh kickers. They never seem to miss a kick.
All the major international teams in Northern Hemisphere have specialist goalkicking coaches. Or do you think the ABs have nothing to learn from those side?
The Third Lions test in 2017 and the Wellington game against the Boks last year were the warning. I would hate to see the All Blacks lose a RWC knockout game by a point because of poor goalkicking.

Winza win etc, less than perfect performance in accuracy and of course Richie's boot which for some reason gives Kirwanker a hardon. Looked like they thought the game was in the bag after the first quarter.
Reds did very well to stay within 10 points, fought well and stayed in it.
Apart from HIA gate, it was very nice to not notice the referee.

Man I hate that yellow card. Player doing nothing wrong trying to get back into a defensive line and a halfback cynically exploiting it (and getting rewarded for it).
Why is it always assumed that the halfback's pass wasn't going to find the supporting player?
This one, the "catcher" was in position with his hands ready. Similarly with Aaron Smith in a test last year, the ball was going straight to Scott Barrett.

He could have but he also had other options. I'm okay with that one being a penalty, I just don't think it should be a yellow.

An AB flyhalf kicking at 33% is worth discussing, no matter how much you hero worship him.
BB got it in the neck last year for his accuracy and he was nowhere near as bad as this.

@Kirwan if D Mac is ABs no. 2 first five it won’t matter who can’t kick shit as we won’t score tries as he will be running across field like a mad cow and fucking every backline move up.
So the rush defence will kill us .
Need a more direct runner -

Compared to the SI and Christchurch, it was humid. Was still mid 20s when they were playing and 80% plus humidity.
