@no-quarter Why are people focusing on RM? He played well! Watch the friggen game again and tell me who in NZ would have played remotely better!
Myself, I want him to improve his defence like BB had to at the beginning.

ESPN has him with no tackles made, 1 tackle missed, and 1 turnover. Given that they choose to hide him, its a recipe for a good coach to exploit.
On the other hand, once he starts running, he’s lethal. But when he doesn’t, he’s not as good as either Dmac or Barret would be as they could defend at 10.
No tackles! Holy shit that tells a story in itself.

Good post. Fuck me if the Boks haven’t been built up to mythical proportions.
Not playing anyone for a year will do that.
I don’t know. People were fapping on about them even before they pulled the pin last year.
Better to talk them up - if you lose, you were right, and if you win, you win.

Went back and looked at that Mounga missed tackle and it wasn't as bad as being made out. He got caught in two minds whether to go for the ball or tackle and ended up in no man's land and was too late to go for the tackle.
Taylor's missed tackle was far worse.

I almost lost my shit when Jordie went to the wing again. Just so fucking dumb. He either starts at 15 or he's not in the 23, I just don't understand what they are doing with him; his performances on the wing are worse than Bridge and sooooo far below what you'd expect of an AB winger.
Yeah, it's just plain stupid. He isn't a Test winger and if he IS in the 23 then have him at 15 - where he is OK - in your game plan or off the bench at 15. Totally illogical and could screw his confidence.

That scrum was the turning point for me. It was on Angus Ta’avaos side. Not good enough really.
Did Whitelock swap to the TH side when BBBR went off? I wasn't looking closely but he usually scrums on that side in combo with Barrett. Questions about Tuipulotu's scrummaging persists.

Those stats don’t seem right because he made that tackle 3 metres out from our line when Oz were hot on attack.

Yep you are right,so EPNS are once again all over the place with their stats as always.

@act-crusader Don't even go there. You are arguing against the religiously blind.

@sparky why because we dont play retarded 10 man boxkickathon shit like South Africa and the old enemy?
I think both teams have some great talent coming through and we will go well at the next RWC. Both teams packs to me seem like they can genuinely muscle up but also marry that with a bit of backline play.
Fuck it. Straya will never win at Eden Park but we put some good play together and if not for a loose 20 minutes and uncharacteristic goalkicking would've been right in it.
You will win one day and if the starters had the rip shit attitude of the bench and not the hesitancy they displaced (plus, as you say, decent kicking), they would have been right into it..

They get updated so likely he will end up with 1 made, 1 missed (the same as Dmac) but they do at least show patterns - such as the effort by Havili (12 made, 3 missed) from (I assume) him often defending the 10 channel while we hid Mo’unga. Sadly, I can’t re-watch, but if some one can I’d like to hear about how we organized ourselves on defense.

Good scrum battle
Helps Nepo having BBBR locked on to his left bum bone.
Definitely what I'd take, given the option
