@Victor-Meldrew utter rubbish, others are far better at centre but haven’t been given the time they should have due to the deluded decision to keep Ioane there. He should have been in the team but on the wing. Also where would he rate amongst centres to have played for the All Blacks, in the top 50???
You are hugely wrong and years out of date let it go
Not denying this hasn't been good today, but overall he's developed in to a fine centre
I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
He's definitely improved but he's still limited - he has poor hands for a centre.

They have loosened up. Important to see them stay tough for full 80.
We've been sloppy as fuck for the second half, so that's failed already
Someone needs to get the message to the backs.
-
Score?
-
68-10 to the ABs.
-
World best winger is back
-
@Steven-Harris said in RWC Week 4: All Blacks v Italy:
Williams has dropped some weight
Probably had his diet controlled whilst in France.
-
I'll miss Dane Coles
Always looks like he's still playing for fun. And we need a new wind up merchant
What a top level AB he's been
-
10th conversion attempt for Mo’unga. Misses.
-
Number 23 for the Italians looked very foolish there. He's presumably a winger and he should know to mark his man.
-
Drop Richie

And while a good tackler goes missing on D on occasions.

18 minutes left.

He is a different mould, more Fitzy then the modern day monsters.
-
RMo missed the conversion.
Assume we'll see DMac soon

He’s certainly not the finished product, but if he plays more with Barrett we’ll be in good shape - I think we underestimate the importance of combination in midfield on defense.
-
@Victor-Meldrew good call coach
-
They finally take off Jordie.

Not because of the missed kick, but that should happen soon anyway. Dmac needs some game time.
-
Don't centres mature at 28...

This. Our midfield D has improved hugely with those two.
-
Dmac and ALB on for Richie Mo' and Jordie.
-
Finally Jordie is off. Smart.

You always get 110% from him --- certainly has the mongrel which at times results in brain explosions... but i have really enjoyed watching him over the years

RMo has been good. Clearly no. 1

If I really think about it, he's as good if not better than any AB hooker I've seen, including fitzy
Rock solid set piece, and real x-factor on attack. Great player

Been great. Another solid shift.
-
@mariner4life his niggle got smarter too
-
That scrum 😤
-
Is there anyway we don’t make the quarters if we deny Italy a bonus point?
-
Italian scrum folds again.

-
Is the Italian scrum normally this poor? I don’t remember them struggling as much in 6N.

Still have to play Uruguay who lead France at halftime by 10 points.
