A half that was basically the Forwards smashing everything on both sides of the ball, and the play unfolding off that
If I can quibble, we still don't hit on to the ball (except ST). It's all standing start stutter step.
But we haven't allowed Argentina a fucking thing. And if we keep it up it'll get ugly later.
This
The backs still need some work. Some great stuff. Not clearing from 22 when you have heaps of time not so much. Kicking variations yes, but chip kicks from 22 not so much when you can kick it 50m.
Kicking to regain possession seems to be a tactic tonight maybe because it’s wet and hard to diffuse those chip kicks.
Should airways be a tactic, variation helps a lot.
Smith has run more metres tonight than for years
We tried that early but there was some 50/50 bounces.
Maybe we are using the chips to keep going forward in the wet pressure on the chase hard to handle. -
Okay fullas put them away now
-
Smith, deadset. Your box kicks suck
-
Avenging a bad loss to Argentina with a thrashing the next week. We should be fine now.....

Prediction, we lose to Ozzie over there, then come back at Eden park.
That's our lot in life I am afraid. Bouncing from good performance to dreadful performance week by week.
This in an improvement. Normally it's one good game followed by 2 shit games. Mind you, it's only half-time....
Game one looked like this, a big, at first half
Yeah, need to maintain this in the 2nd to show progress, for me.

Deliberate tactic this week
-
-
Jordan should play 8
-
How fucking quick is Ardie Savea?
-
Ardie, great chase, but you need to make that tackle so Jordan can get the ball, you slip off, Jordan makes the tackle, and we can't turn over
-
Is Ardie hobbling a little? I hope not!

Smith smashed at another ruck
No one on their feet, he needs to realise and clear quickly

He always seems to walk like he has a carrot up the ass
