Bledisloe #1

[Gunner]

Tackled in the air?

[Tim]

Awesome, Matt Todd's on! Maybe we can fit four opensides into the next team.

This is a bad All Blacks team. Been living on past glories for some time.

Mitchell's ABs without the excitement.

That’s it! That’s the 1991 move - bring in Steve Kearney as the co-coach!

So, ummm, guys. Will we retain the Bledisloe?

I don’t think they will, this has been a flogging and this team does not looking like having the ability to turn it around like in 2015, even more with the injuries/suspensions

@Billy-Tell said in Bledisloe #1:

It's sort of slipped under the radar with the "Savea to 6" move (WTF for me, has he ever started a game at 6 for the Canes?), but "probably the AB's best player in 2018" has been dropped to the bench.

I'm not convinced by this side:

*Can Ben Smith really still play 14 at the highest level?
*Is Savea really a 6?
*Does Bridge really add impact off the bench?
*If we're taking Laumape to Japan, and he's needed to start a game, is he up to it?

The props selection is going to be interesting. I think Laulala is most likely to get the chop. Looks like Todd can pack his bags for Japan.

Should be fun too watch...not least the JOC to 13 move.

Hmmm

[ACT Crusader]

Wow, he’s called an offside against the Aussies.

[hydro11]

Now Laumape kicks...and he was doing well.

[Tim]

Poor, poor stupid Steve should've taken Ioane on tour last year and drilled him.

[Gunner]

Laumape you fuck, why did you kick that?

Did not see this coming.

Really tgought we were better than this.

What have you seen since 2017?

Think they got the selections as close to right as they could for the night, but having no game plan and Savea and Cane going in cold since the Argentina game etc etc...

That's what I mean. There's nowhere else to go

[Gunner]

Read did enough to win the penalty there

[Mokey]

Although it really sucks to lose to Australia, boy did we need this kick up the arse.

[kiwiinmelb]

And if wales beat England tonight , they become the number 1 ranked side

Vindicated. Love it.

You can't really blame someone for a low percentage play when they're 14 points behind with less than 10 minutes to go

[akan004]

We lose our no 1 ranking too after tonight, not that we deserve to be no1.

Only if it forces a reexamination. This group think they doing everything great

[Stargazer]

It's only 5 tries to 4.

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader Hey, Graham Henry laid it out in an interview - he's a guy you've got to show love.

We have no 6 nor 8. Shit coaching.

[Gunner]

Marshall needs to shut his trap!

No AB fan will have enjoyed this game, you dense fcuking idiot.
