I think we know who plays at 6.
Yep, conversation over really. His contribution deep in the game should end shitty comments about work rate.
But does he still make faces and rub heads?

@bones And here's the twitter version, which embeds properly (what's up with FB, why won't FB posts embed anymore?)
"Always enjoy playing against you guys (because we keep winning)"
😉

Blackadder forgot his neck haha

I've started referring to Super Rugby as " Super Rugby Entertainment" bit like the WWE business model and I wonder if once Oz were so far behind they changed to the Super Rugby let's have a go instead of the let's treat this like a serious test

Not biased here but thought the ABs really missed Sam Cane last night. Saw too many missed tackles or soft tackles.
Good tackler but the defensive problem wasn't at 7? Or are you implying they would have lifted if he was captain?

I don't think he could have done any better than the 7 that started.

He has no influence on the general pattern of the team that is for sure

Ian Foster provides update on All Blacks' late injury set-backs
While the All Blacks may have named their team to take on the Wallabies on Thursday morning, the actual team that ran out on Eden Park on Saturday night wasn't confirmed until right before kick-off.

The BoP one-eyedness knows no bounds 😉
Not a criticism of the other players because they are relatively young, but Cane does have that ‘stop you in your tracks’ hardness in his tackles.

Akira and Dalton have some ability in that area, but Cane is the gold standard track stopper - and I hate BoP with a passion, they're like North Island Canterbury to me.

@nepia yeah a work in progress for Akira, Dalton and even Ardie. Ardie are Akira both have a very good ability of holding a player up. Must be a height thing…
Dalton has that more traditional tackle style which reminds me of a Holah or McCaw type.

I'm sure the hot topic of conversation has been the impact of the bench, or lack of it. Not helped by who was actually on the bench. Trying to fit in all the Barretts as well as Mo'unga and DMac was always going to be a big mistake, particularly if JB ends up on the wing again. With injuries the decision on the back reserves were sort of forced on them.
In the forwards, Ta'avao and Tuipulotu are 3rd or 4th choice in their positions. The return of Ofa and S Barrett will help there.
I was disappointed in Ardie in this game. Easily the worst of the starting loose forwards. Whitelock has to take some responsibility for the poor discipline.
Well, that's why Paddy was picked 4th behind SW, BBBR and SB
