@Chris-B that shit is not easily forgotten nor forgiven
Don’t worry I’ve got a 500 word essay coming for how harsh some have judged Bridge on that play.
Broken record time 🙂
Does he cop that much criticism? I haven’t really noticed it. I have noticed a bunch of Cantabs (and Bones) getting super defensive about it tho.

Haha super defensive is saying a blues fan has his tinfoil hat on. Ioane...
Right now that I've set off your alarm by not praising Ioane for having a couple of ordinary games, please Mr Shrill, do highlight what my super defence of Bridge was? Oh also interested to hear the long list of super defensive cantabs and their ramblings.

Jordie Barrett is the most exciting young players in global Rugby, fast, rugged and skilful. His versatility and impact off the bench will be great assets for the ABs in the Rugby World Cup.
If that is true it does instantly make it rather more exciting. How many players do you reckon he is?
-
@Chris-B Had the chance to call players over by using his voice to number up but failed to do so, hence the overlap which was exploited by the boks. At international level, that was a howler all round from Bridge. It was Mo'unga who was left high and dry because of Bridge.

@African-Monkey oh hell yes. Not descended from saffas are you?
Thst cat looks familiar ... @dogmeat ... ?

@African-Monkey are you sure you're not talking about Englands first try against the All Blacks last year?

After reading ,
I suspect the thread might be better than the game

He’s the Ultimate Barrett. A better goal kicker than Beauden, taller than Kane and faster than Scott.

@ACT-Crusader problem was it was protein powder!

Never a chance. The Boks have brought Pollard looping around late to create an extra man and no-one's picked him up. Good play by them.
George has gone forward to close the space. If Richie goes with him a bit quicker he gets the chance to disrupt the pass out to Kolbe, check him, and the cover picks up Kolbe easily. That doesn't quite happen, but the cover gets to Kolbe anyway.
If that's a howler whoever plays wing at RWC is going to have some absolute shockers and might as well burn their airtickets home and start walking now!

if this goes as i sort of expect it to, the level of finger pointing on here is going to be fucking epic.

@mariner4life It's a long time since we didn't win a World Cup!

i joined a few months after the last disaster. So i have yet to see it.
You would think that winning two in a row would lessen the pain somewhat. But the walls are going to go up around provincial lines, and the artillery is going to be concentrated and vicious

@mariner4life 2007 was nothing compared to 2003.
Field Marshall Haig would have been quite proud of engineering that.
Can you imagine Nepia being here at the time that Cullen was actually being dropped? There were some Wellingtonians of similar ilk, at the time.
I think their heads actually exploded.
