Bledisloe Four: Brisbane, 7 November

[ACT Crusader]

Our forward pack was a bit scrappy. We didn’t look settled at all.

There was physicality from both sides and I think the difference was the penalties we gave away in our own half and Hodge made us pay.

Goal kicking still very critical.

Fucking terrible from our 9, but ill admit that the coaches should be given a kick in the ass for taking Akira off.

It’s like when they pulled Kaino against the Lions - didn’t they learn from that?

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim your bias towards Blues region players isn't going to help.

Our new blindside looked good

Also, his brother actually had an awesome game, clearing up lots of poor ball, defending well and not dropping the ball when scoring his try.

His best game for quite some time. I'll give Fozzie some credit for that.

[Yeetyaah]

@antipodean at M10 level?

[pakman]

MOTM Dave Rennie.

I’m a big Fan of the good TJ, not sure he’s an AB 12

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah straight idiot. AB backs always struggle with his shit distribution and running away from support

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim Faiane vs Laumape I meant. Basing it off Faiane at M10 level?

Blues are the new Cantabs

[KiwiMurph]

TJ Faiane is not a test level 12.

Neither is Laumape.

[Yeetyaah]

@Kirwan also a fan of Faiane.

[Tim]

@Kirwan he isn't at all, but Laumape is just awful. Should go back to league.

Yep, he’s not a good 12 at Test level.

[voodoo]

1st game of the year that I haven't watched with my son, in our AB gear. He is at his mates place, and I felt like a dick wearing my jersey at home, watching alone.

I'm sorry guys, I feel responsible

[Gunner]

Pointless question as they won’t get rid of TJP, but who’s next in line at 9?

Nock?

[Machpants]

I thought SB was actually not that bad, but his shit on the ground was dumb beyond belief. Fucking pissed that the TMO incorrectly called it

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah Neither are test level. Faiane at least has good distribution. Laumape is so limited.

He wasn't great. But playing outside a rubbish BB didn't help him

It’s unfortunate that Akira had to go off. He was looking strong. He’ll get another chance.

But anyone thinking he should’ve stayed on ahead of Ardie in a RC scenario when he is seen as a leader in the side is a little naive.

Well done to Akira. Make sure you give your Blues team mate heaps for that RC!
