Actually I have no fooking idea.
It doesn't matter. Nobody has a clue what is going on but stick to your guns, never back down, argue your side of an argument that doesn't exist. It's just the way it is done here.
And lovin’ it.
Pass the salt.

Good analysis again
-
Last 20 rewatch. Was our worst period:
-
Big gaps close to rucks, esp. for Koroibete try, after Tupou twice made good ground.
-
ABs passing to no one -- Patty T after SW takes kick off at 33-19, Taylor after great Savea break from 22 -- and Patty T drop in contact.
-
Poor kicks gifting possession -- Laumape grubber, RM kick which Beale ran from goal line and could have led to end to end try but for Read covering.
-
More easy metres from pick n go, leading to Hodge's second.
-
Moli poor defensive alignment attacked, second time big hole when Beale scored.
-
At 40-26 Read taps penalty rather than kicking into Oz 22?
-
Moli under pressure at scrum.
-
Last try from good scrum on our 10 metre -- Oz momentum wasn't checked (our forwards on wrong side field), leading quickly to final try.
Takeaways:
-
Gave away possession by forcing things rather than being patient (5 times!). Treasure the farking pill!
-
Defence round ruck abysmal.
-
Fast Oz ball meant they several times made 40 metres in a blink, and once five out were clinical.

"He simply does not have ..." is clear enough - I'm commenting on his Test performance. In my opinion on Saturday he was not as sure footed and confident.
Ok understand where you are coming from
Don’t agree with this comment
"He simply does not have ..." is clear enough - I'm commenting on his Test performance. In my opinion on Saturday he was not as sure footed and confident.I think he went well considering we had 14 players for the 2nd half and our forwards didn’t really stand up.
Fair enough Chris. I hope Richie Mo'unga makes the the beg step up to permanent Test level. He has had to work at it for a couple of years now, against able contemporaries. He couldn't wish for better coaching in the position - their record down south is exceptional.

@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD yeah it takes time in the saddle at First five I think in 2 years we will be saying how good he is

On the subject of dry powder ...
... not sure if you guys remember 2011 at all, but it was quite obvious in the early tests that they were testing different tactics.
It's not quite as obvious to me this year, but ...
... how often have we seen the 9 box kicking this year? Not much that I recall. I could be wrong. Bad short term memory. But the lack of box kick after it being the go to for the last few years suggests testing tactics different from normal.
Mind you I'm probably wrong on all sorts of levels ...

Points two (White) and three (three second ruck speed) covered well in Chalkboard at 26 minute mark of this:
