Don't understand why the Aucklanders here are all laying into Mo'unga, he was one of the better ones.
Oh, that's right.
I'm not.
I was constantly bitching about why they were using Beaudie to clearance kick.
Canterbury statue starting props however....

According to the stats, Richie Mo'unga made 8 tackles and missed 0. Excellent on defence; it was others who missed their man.
I don't think I would blame Richie BUT tackling is not all there is to defence.
Like in baseball a good outfielder can make an above average amount of errors because they are getting to balls other outfielders wouldn't get to.

Any thoughts on Franks?
Should have been penalised for collapsing. He overextends, so its very easy to suck him into that. Gym strong was important when scrums had hits, not so much now. Think Karl is better at scrum time.

Thought Read was outstanding under the circumstances
You've been defending him all year, and he has done nothing outstanding. He gets driven back in the tackle, and his tackles are not very effective, when he makes them ...
He's a has-been.

Ah, another TSF meltdown. Everyone completely overreacting as usual.
Point of order here young man. If you're not outraged by those fluffybunnies putting 40 plus on us, then you're no use at all to the rank and file of the diehard All Black fan.
It's one thing for an All Black to not score tries.
It's another thing for an All Black to not fucken tackle!
Take your soy and jog on!
This is an humiliating loss.

I'm fucked from playing a whole game of First Grade at LHP today, so I'll keep it brief.
Red Card - definitely on the criteria. Was probably the thing Garces got right the most (because his work with forward passes was shite). But ask yourself the question: would this has been done if it was NOT a RWC year?
If it was a RWC game probably would have been a yellow.
Wallabies eked out a win based mostly on a moustache playing at 9, and the fact they refused to give the ABs the ball. The possession stat must be a fucking landslide - felt like it took us about 10 minutes with the pill to get a try, but the ABs needed less than 2 minutes to get to the paint.
Should have been sent off for the pedo moustache.

..and every prop that has played for the AB's in the past two years offers more around the field

I’m a big fan of ALB but that was his worst game by the length of the straight.
All that crabbing and going backwards was awful.
Looking forward to seeing next weeks team naming.
When is the team named?Never been a huge fan of him at 12 either. Looked better at 13 but then again Laumape is not a ball playing 2nd 5 so ALB was having to play a game he’s not really accustomed too.

Watch the bookies still make us favourites for the WC

@hydro11 I know, but someone mentioned he can't tackle.
I said he was a shit defender. That’s why they have to hide him on the wing.

Don't worry, I'm upset by the loss, esp because it's against the Aussie. But the outrage and esp the blame game is excessive.

@Tim, Akira only has himself to blame, nobody else ..no question he has talent..but when it comes to attitude and work ethic..it’s way down the pecking order..!
