All Blacks vs Pumas I
-
Plummer deserves some credit for the way the forwards are going. I thought oneof the problems between 2017-2019 was having no real forwards coach. Stu Cron was a scrum guru but .....

Early change of kicker
Brotherly challenge. "you miss, I take over"
Hope so. Might see Scott take over after the 8th try

Great performance so far.
Some really average headless chook stuff during the half tho
From who? Sure a couple of dumb penalties but that happens all the time.
I reckon we’ve played pretty safe. We’ve made some good little runs off to get over the gain line but we have hardly thrown an offload or 50/50 ball.
A few times we weren’t on the same page but that’s more lack of experience and combinations.
I think we’ve done okay.
Maybe headless chook wrong phrase. Just seem to lack incisive decision sometimes on attack, shoveling it on. Running sideways and backwards. Add to that some real howlers in line out and real pointless penalties.

@bones pretty sure those were his only off throws. A work on yes but he’s been superb everywhere else.
No, there have been others. One dropped before Akira, he needs to improve his throwing. Looks great in the field.

@old-samurai-jack Yep forwards this year bar test vs Fiji have been very good. BBBR getting back to form helps and this loose forward mix also.

Kremer 18 tackles already! Heaps of puma in the teens
Three times as many tackles as the ABs so not surprising

So Pumas are tryless so far in TRC, they will struggle this year by looks.
I thought they got one Vs boks
Stan commentary were saying no trys, could be wrong.

Reiko the only stand out in the backs so far. Beauty controlling the game pretty well hopefully a few more gaps in the defence from now on
Reiko runs some great angles and at pace is always getting post contact metres, if he doesn't actually break the line. Against a tiring team should be lethal second half

They lost the last game 29-10 so that's a give away

Matera scored a try in their round 2 game.

Big surprise is TJ, been good so far.
Yeah, he has had some good moments but for me still too much of a meerkat and should have taken a few running opportunities where there were some massive gaps.
