All Blacks v Tonga

@tim said in All Blacks v Tonga:
@stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.
And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.
Fozzie can't risk doing that, remember how much shit Hansen copped in 2015 when they did that.

Play one guy goalie, has to stay under the posts, practise playing as 14

@crazy-horse Bridge has been fine tonight, hasn’t done anything wrong and a lot of things well.

Who gives a fuck, it worked

@stag I am not watching so I have no opinion on how he is going. I do suspect it's not flash, but probably not as bad as it reads on here.
-
Imagine what the score would be if Brad Weber could pass accurately.
Tupaea has been better than I expected. Papalii and Jacobson have been great.
Taavao carved Tonga up and then we see Bridge kicking it away or failing to beat anyone.

He tidied up some ball, passed well occasionally, had ok ball security, has a good workrate. But we won't get many trys from his side and he shouldn't play against the top teams. Am wondering who should be our top 11s.. Big Leicester would have at least one try already IMO.

Oh yeah and Roane has been excellent but I really hate him.

It's only the press and public opinion, NZR board do things their own way - that's all he cares about

Passing better than everyone else in the backline

He knocked on 5m out from the ABs try line.

2nd one tonight, aiming for a hat trick
-
Dalton really looks like he'd be good against top teams as well. We really are gifted with 7s.
Nobody seems to be ripping crap off Akira so far so that must be at least a pass mark from him (but it isn't really a tough challenge at 6).
Am wondering how you can rank the 8s (Jacobson vs Sotutu) after tonight though. -

Fair enough, I change ok to sometimes.

@mariner4life is right about this - choose the two fastest and/or most dangerous players and then find a way to use them well. We’re too reliant on Mo’unga, BB and Dmac.
Time to get some Danger out there.

This game really is hard to make a rating of any player on.

I agree, but equally danger can be small and lethal - Cory Jane would have a couple of years where he might have been one of the most (more) dangerous wingers in the world.
-
TJ praising Bridge for a pass well behind Jordan that lead to a turnover. Idiot.

Danger to the opposition, sorry we weren't clear

Is that not George 'Safety Match' Bridge?
-
Stupid Coles didn't pass it wide, and the commentators praise it
-
I wish Tonga would stop kicking it and just give it a go with ball in hand.
-
Coles is having so much fun out there. Tonga can't even do the basics. Score looking a little low now, actually..

Safety matches are pretty dangerous, you know? Could easily burn someone
-
Mo'unga bad
-
George "Shouldn't be in the squad" Bower gets his debut.
-
Gotta give the comms some kudos for maintaining thier own energy and excitement in this game.
-
Tj doesn't even correct his dumb call about Tonga taking a scrum when he see Weber feeding it
