The tight 5 are shit.
The loosies are shit
The halves have no control at all
The backs can't hold the ball
Other than that, all good...
the 12 can't pass...

Where the fuck was the support for DMac there?
I think they might have assumed he’d have passed it given he had a world of time to do so.
To who? There was no one around.
If my under 10s watched one of their mates to that extent I would chew them out.
I’ve had almost a bottle of Amarone but I’m sure there were players back to pass to.
Nah man nothing. And from a high kick some one should be right on his ass.
People were looking for the next phase, which is the story of the night

Wilson doesn't think anyone putting up their hand for next week.
Coles: 2 tries, Sotutu, some nice stuff. Finlay "Roidzilla" Christie actually muscled over for a try.Christie has been good as has Bridge. The rest from 9-15 have been utter shite.

Bridge has been solid. I can't quite say good yet until he beats his man and shows some pace and evasive skill as a winger. Although he has been better than 12 and 13. Maybe he should be a midfielder.

What a complete pile of crap that first half was. The worst 40 minutes I've seen in years.
Forget the hairdryer treatment, Foster needs to get the flamethrowers out.
That’s not the modern way. Need to be supportive. “Ennor, remember when you caught the ball back in NZ? Do more of that. You’re awesome.”
-
Even on replay those two Coles tries are not great
3 rough tries.
-
We are tackling worse than Italy. 10-4 handling errors with shared possession.
-
George Bridge our leading metre eater in the first half (ESPN) with 39.
Stat line pretty ugly for many:
Dmac, Ennor, Vaa’i all have two turnovers each. Four others have one TO.
Christie is yet to make a tackle (0/2) and has conceded two penalties (apparently)
-
Nice to hear NZ presenters actually chew the ABs out actually

JK said very average, that was being too kind even as kiwi understatement.

Bloody snowflake millennials.

Awful first half. Can’t catch, can’t pass and trying to play a game they are t good enough to play.
Summed up perfectly at the end. DMac catches 25 out eith 3 Italian defenders on him. Two unmarked all blacks to his right.
So he tries to step the defenders himself, gets turned over snd concedes a penalty. Shit decision and even worse execution.
-
Far too much of our 6, 7 and 8 standing off the contact areas.
Plenty of one out running particularly by our two young locks.
Midfield surely just met on the bus ride…
-
Considering the rep and ranking of the two teams, which Kiwi is looking the better coach so far?

He’s had a half a bottle of Amarone too.

Neither. Italy aren’t much chop. If we could catch it would be 35-3 minimum.

Ah, Italy are fucking shit as well.
They're not well prepared, they don't have a great plan. They are close because we are playing appalling rugby.
