That try came from the awful play from our two 10’s.
I mean what the actual fuck was that stupid switch play, kick it aimlessly down the middle of the park all about?
Very very poor play.
A few seriously aimless "high" kicks throughout.
One glaring in the second half. Telegraphed to fuck so we all knew it was coming ... and no one chased it.

Watch Hoopah! on the second half kick off.
Hooper showed his quality again. His motor is amazing. He struggles though, sometimes turned over easily, and I saw him ragdolled in defence once (Mo'unga just entered the chat too). But his interactions are massive.
Rennie is quality. Wobs looking good and playing well - good structures, and pouring on the pressure. A bit more accuracy and they will be bloody hard to beat.

What’s the structure at the top of the stand behind the goal?
This.

Foster out! I haven’t seen the match but I’m assuming Rennie, the brilliant Chiefs coach, outfoxed Foster the Chiefs dud. Been ages since NZ lost at Eden Park but I suppose it had to happen eventually.
I refer to my statements pre-game that it is always funny to see Kiwis pull the sky down onto their own heads despite every single piece of history pointing in the other direction
It's our national psyche. We love introverted self effacing overachievers. it motivates us.

Fozzie looks like the drunk Old bloke At the races

Attacking, Clarle leads the way with 138m and 12 defenders beaten, BB next on 102 and 6
Best Aus was Korobete on 88 and 3 defenders beaten

@BerniesCorner I understand your appreciation Laumape but i I think he’s a one trick pony. If he diversifies his game he might be something to reckon with.

I hope Clarkes performance today locks him into starting rather than Bridge. No comparison there.
Considering Bridge is out injured for months, you don't have anything to worry about.
Plenty to be concerned about when the coach is forced into good selections by injury.
Bridge is a million miles behind Clarke, should never have been selected last week.

TBF Koroibete beat them both in handling errors, so it evens out.

@broughie this team has benefited from ball runners BB, son of Eroni, Sotutu. Laumape deserves a chance
-
@kiwiinmelb bruh! I came here just to write that he looked pissed lol.
But props to him to reign it in. It means something to turn it around. I’m not a fan of his coaching but im always happy to be proven wrong when it’s for the advancement of our rugby.
I hope he has a good scotch on hand, he deserves it.

@Kirwan think it just shows how risk adverse he was last week.

Agreed. All three were magnificent today.

Yep, hopefully he learns from that before it costs us Test matches.

Good step up from Frizzel, hopefully will continue to improve. Took some line outs too
-
@taniwharugby I think that's it. He didn't want to give the rookie a start in his first test. He should have had more faith in Clarke's abilities. It was also Fozzie's first test in charge though.

For me Frizzel improved, but I do remember a couple of missed tackles and multiple handling errors. That has to improve to a further level for my liking.

@bayimports yeah he seems to have all the attributes, but just missing a bit of agression and power at present
