Think I will take more notice of Kieran Read, especially as he says what I ramble on about all the time, ie Cane is made for test rugby, the way he plays etc is what we need.

You know when Barnes says that Savea tackles harder than Cane he is talking shit.

Knowing fully well from experience, Read said Cane has “definitely got a good shoulder, real heavy”, as evidenced by one particular big shot he put on on the weekend,
Poor Ofa, Cane taking all the credit because our commentators are shit, and our press look no further than what is easily found on google
-
@Machpants the only one in the press to pick up that Ofa was the one who made the tackle was SBW - who mentioned it about 5 times during the Stan coverage of the Wallaby game.

How embarassing for the rest than it was the genius SBW that picked it up

Well Ofa and Cane are almost twins

Is that why Ofa is so fast for a prop, or Cane slow for a loosie?

I'm pretty sure I saw Cane doing a hit that made a player spill the ball, UK commentary didn't even have a name until the replay. How was Ofa involved?

I went back and had a look - I can find the time stamp if need be - Cane was right next to Ofa and the Irish player fell towards Cane so at a glance I can see why it was attributed to Cane but it was Ofa's shoulder/hit/tackle that caused the spill.
Not to go full GAGR but see the below.
-
@KiwiMurph the one in my mind had Cane coming in from the side, on the tram lines. But most likely old man brain.
-
@KiwiMurph that makes it look like the jolting impact to force the turnover came from Cane with Ofas low tackle simply enabling that contact. So I really don't follow what people are saying in this thread. Or is it a different tackle? The Barnes article was just a click bait windup.

Ofa is a lightweight.

I'm not savvy enough to turn it into a gif but in the motion/video it's Ofa's hit that has all the impact.
I've gone into way too much detail already so I might as well keep going.
It looks like the ball comes out prior to Cane making any contact at all as Furlong carries into contact with his left arm/side and this is a still image from just before the image I posted above with Ofa making the hit and Cane between Ardie and Furlong (blocked by Irish 8 Doris) yet to make contact.

Cane doesn't really do anything. Ofa just tackles the player into Cane.

Because that big hit was called as from cane in game and was then mentioned in a lot of press articles in their post match reviews and player ratings.
Could you point out the big hit cane did do?

I'm not going to go back through the footage, but the same one from the side that @Bones mentioned.

I like you Nepia see things in game, but I don't take note of when they happen etc or be bothered to go back through game to find them, but I thought the big Cane hit was different to that one.

yeah this is a weird one even for the Fern. Cane absolutely flattens a bloke, i even commented on it in the game thread because i was in teh middle of typing a post about where the fuck our loosies were.

Are you sure that wasn't done by Ofa too?
-
@Nepia cane is doing a good job there regardless. If he throws too much intent he risks a card as the guy is well chopped.
Can stays high in the line and helps dislodge the ball. See ardie fades off and looks for the jackal, different intents from 2 inside defenders.

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks 2022:
Sorry for derailing the thread.
Getting back on track - this is a good article that shows the maturing of Rieko - he's come a long way the last couple of years.
All very good, but it is his decision making that he really needs to work on. He was behind the errors leading to two Irish tries. As an individual he's awesome, but decisions as 13 needs a lot of work
-
@Machpants said in All Blacks 2022:

I'm interested to hear more about this.
The first irish try came from 18 phases and the ABs defence had numbered up correctly.
The second irish try came from Jordie shooting up leaving a slight overlap/gap on the outside.

Thanks!
Really interesting reading.
I disagree with the comment that Jordie had no choice but to shoot up for the 2nd try given Rieko's speed and ability to close space late. To me that looks like two players first test of the season not used to defending together.

Yep you're probably right. It must be a tough line to tread for a high-level rugby player - where's the line between trusting your team-mate to do his job, and stepping in because you trust your own ability?

IMO you ALWAYs trust your team mate, because then if it doesn't happen it is their fault
But really you've got to trust otherwise defensive systems will never work. More tries are given away by players covering someone that they don;t need to but can't help themselves than just leaving it to a team mate who fails

In a way I hope we lose next week, lose the Bledisloe and Rugby Championship, it’ll be the only way for us to get a new coach.

Yeah nah. That's pretty abysmal. And won't work anyway.
Even if we got rid of Foster, the next coach is on a hiding to nothing unless we get a caretaker in until after RWC. But I think Eddie isn't available.
-
Serious question:
If the new coach doesn't make much of a difference (as has happened before) what should be done then?
How many Bledisloe's and RC's would you want to lose to then get yet another coach?

Nah.
I think we can win next Saturday. Change a few tactics, not all of them because there was some good in amongst all the dropped ball, poor kicks and poor decision making.
A series win against Ireland would do wonders for the confidence of the squad. Nothing for granted and more work needed and all that. But for me that can be a great positive for improvement.
