RWC Week 5: All Blacks v Uruguay

[mooshld]

It's like we feel the need to put on a show.

While teams like Ireland and South Africa could not give a shit. They just want to win.

Why can't we play percentage rugby till we are up by 50 then turn on the champagne rugby. Is that really such a crazy idea?

I think LJ has cemented himself as a very good SR player but below international standard

Any news on Lomax?

I can only imagine his leg opened up giving the amount of strapping? Was there any information about any muscle damage? Maybe let just not holding the weight, who knows.

Not a lot of ball going his way tonight so hard to judge. Did think he was hard done by on that turn over.

Unfortunately reminds me of Blackadder snr and Thorne.

[Stargazer]

Apparently Lomax had ice on the inside of his knee after coming off. That doesn't point at the cut opening up again.

Some awesome analysis here.DMac is awesome because he's carving up against YouRGay. Jordie is actually shit, but just not Havili shit. Bit early to be drinking fellas.

JB is an average, solid 12. And that's a big plus for me.

[kidcalder]

yip I wasn't just talking about this game.
And at SR i like him but just feel that is his level

Can’t recall BB being amazing vs Italy or any team in recent memory. I would take Dmac all day long.

I would agree but DMac has hardly been world-class against world-class opposition. There have also been questions asked about his combo with RM and whether it may be better having him at 10. All I'm saying is that a good 30 min against Uruguay perhaps isn't the best evidence for definitely answering these questions. And btw, I'm a DMac fan. Just concerned (hopefully wrongly) that he's a bit of a flat track bully and maybe a bit helter skelter for test rugby.

[chimoaus]

@Rancid-Schnitzel Agreed, Dmac should have been on the bench vs France and given some time.

Roigard is rocks and diamonds.

First game when things haven't been easy-peasy. Managing it pretty well though and good experience

[kidcalder]

DMac plays the same whoever the opposition is... so when things don't come off v SA etc people tend to turn on him... if we want the flair (and I do) then we have to be prepared that mistakes will happen

[Tim]

From Stuff:

Tyrel Lomax left the field in the ninth minute with a suspected knee injury.

[kidcalder]

Blackadder needs at least 30min

[Stargazer]

Nisbo, that wasn't Frizell with the 5 on his back.

[Stag]

First 20mins of the first half was what has been known as the Cane effect for the last 4 years…

[chimoaus]

What’s wrong with JB has totally shit the bed.

[mariner4life]

That was shit from both Barrett and whoever it was that just stood there looking at him

[chimoaus]

First time I have heard ALB name all game.

[Victor Meldrew]

Nice from Roigard & Newell
