Why for the love of god would you attempt a dinky little kick in behind the English defence, just outside our 22, when we've only got three fucking defenders covering more than half the pitch?
Apparently Ardie called TJ to kick it there , and then stuffed up the chase , got himself in front and had to back off
-
Well a good game. That was overshadowed by a draw and a GOD AWFUL FUCKUNG fluffybunny of a ref

Very disappointing (more on that later) but I'd just say that the performance last night shows that we most certainly do have the cattle. What is lacking is the leadership, structure and right selections (what was even the point of having Havili there). As frustrating as that is at least we can say that there have been some vast improvements.
Oh yeah, JB at 12 🖕
Are you saying jordie is shit or good at 12?

Long story short: I've been vocally campaigning for him being at 12 for about 5 years. The 🖕 is me woefully failing to be humble about it towards the doubters, of which there were many.

Forwards were fantastic.
Overall happy with 2022
I'd prefer if 10 and 15 stopped looking for the miracle plays at times and stick to basics. High risk cross kicks not good.
Pick and goes, short ball to the wingers, JB on the cut
We have enough firepower up front to be competitive.
SB silenced the 6 doubters
Paps is locked in now -

I'll be quite perturbed if they go back to Cane.

CC good game.
Telea making a strong case for regular starting -

We lost control of the game when the bench came on they were shit.
Saying we looked tired Fucking hell we had pretty much 8 fresh players on for the last 10.We need to look at different bench players to close out the games.
Havili and Frizzel are not the right players to have on the bench.
I'll gently suggest to just watch Frizell's 15 minutes at the end again.
You might not be as surprised when he gets picked next time.

Telea making a strong case for regular startingI'm not uncomfortable with Telea, but don't think he's significantly better than our other options. Particularly Reece.

Sevu was pretty quiet in his outings on this tour.
Will Jordan is locked in unless we need him to shift to 15.
-
@Chris-B We really, really need WJ at fullback.
-
@Chris-B agree re Jordan being l Iocked in.
Reece not really got a run?
-
Stan seemed to have come up short with replays, would have liked to see the BB yellow card again looked like fine line between technically correct or not ie made tackle, got to his feet and competed for ball. To do that must have been some clear release

@Old-Samurai-Jack
If I was coach this would be priority. Things aren't quite right in the backs -
@booboo Sevu was really quiet vs Japan and Wales. Lost his place to Telea, but I sort of hope he comes back, because he can cover both wings, which is otherwise problematic in a RWC squad.
On the other hand, if Will is moved to fullback then Telea's height is handy on the right wing - and maybe he starts and Sevu is cover on both sides.
@OSJ - Yeah - we need to give Will a couple of runs at 15 if Jordie is being locked in at 12.
