All Blacks MOTM v Argentina (SF)
-
Really tough. Without referring to stats; Mounga (has stepped up big time and is leading excellently), Savea (astonishing motor, and ethic, ABs without him is a huge leveller), Lomax (again, really stepped up and is killing it in every facet).
Honourable mention to Jordie, Whitelock, Cane and Rieko.

The leadership group sets the rules and punishments
Where did you get this info? We heard it twelve years ago, but I've not seen anything recently that suggests that.
But yeah, it was more than just getting home late, bit of a fracas.
How do you know this Bones ?

It was mentioned in on of the news articles. Maybe it might not be the same anymore, and the journo (Gifford) is operating on old info, but I have no reason to doubt it.

So few votes for Friz from some surprising quarters.
I'll give it to him, he's turned into a guy with a massive motor and he goes at everything 100%, maybe I'm still scarred by past years but I can't stop seeing how he just gets stopped and/or driven back so so often.
Noticeable with Friz's increased work rate how much more Sam Cane is shining though, so I guess there's something in that.
Come to think of it, Blackadder is pretty similar to what Friz is putting out there at the moment.

Nah man, haven't looked at stats but it just seemed he runs into a brick wall every time (well taken try though). His workrate has gone through the roof at the RWC, but it still seems most of the time he's....Kaino ultra lite?

I've never been a fan
But lately I'm watching a guy just smashing dudes on the run
That try today was brute strength (not the touchdown) -
Frizzel, Lomax, Jordie, but a significant number in and about, great team effort

The back-row looks balanced and working nicely.
Not sure what Cane is doing, but solid base for Robertson to build on next year and we can get Frizzell back soon-ish

@Victor-Meldrew Cane is featuring a lot more outside the breakdown. Big hits, big carries.
-
@mariner4life the touchdown he looked undecided on...
Yeah seems a switch was flicked in him and he has become a very good player this year.
Way he is playing has restored a better balance to our loose trio allowing both Cane and Ardie to play thier games as well.
Although he looked spent in the final quarter.

Which is perfect right, given our current bench make-up. He can spend himself for 60mins knowing that Whitelock is chomping at the bit to come off the bench and SB can go 80 (cards aside 😬)
