Beauden's defence has been a bit shit on the edges.

FIFY

[Mattasaurus]

Job done...

No injuries
No cards ( not even a warning)

BB sux and should be dropped - but wont be

Taylor, SB, BBBR, Friz, JB and then Dmac and coles from the bench were standouts for me

Basically he should have been dropped, a few years ago. The only poor performance today, and one of many over the last few years

Outside that, happy. But the ill discipline at the start of the second, is worrying for big games going forward

no pressure France

[Billy Tell]

Operation ¼ final now. Not sure how to prepare for Uruguay in a dead rubber.

[Tordah]

That was highly entertaining. Great to see improved discipline and a completely dominant set piece against a not-quite easy beats team. Sam Cane being a bit shit in his short stint was the only worry for me

Who partners SB to start? BR or SW?

BR

Not a dead rubber, if Italy beat France

[Stargazer]

@Billy-Tell We had another dead rubber, this year, and we were shit. I don't want to see that again. Just give some guys game time that won't play in the play-offs, but play like there's something at stake.

In McCaw's book he gives Beaver the highest compliment: "He's a bloody good bugger..."

Come the moment, cometh the man. Ice in his veins when it mattered. Legend.

Nothing wrong with that try.

The guy’s foot was on the touch line before grounding.

[mariner4life]

The MotM poll should be interesting

@mariner4life said in RWC Week 4: All Blacks v Italy:

The MotM poll should be interesting

Christie
Beauden
Carley

Do an inverse one.

Play the same team. Build the combinations.

No need to experiment or give anyone else a run at this stage.

Not sure it matters. Nice position to be in though.
