All Blacks v Argentina II
-
First half - excellent
Second half - meh.
Positives - The defence, the starting pack, the starting wings.
Work ons - Fewer penalties, maintaining structure and intensity once the replacements come on, exits again.
Bottom line: job done. Much happier than last week.

Pushing a player on the ground, what?
Typical fucking Gardner effort.

End of game observation, the ABs don't have aura. Eden Park has aura.

Pleased for Cane that he’s had another run after the red in the RWC final. At least that’s not the note that he’ll finish on now
Think he has 3 games to make 100?
4
I hoped the coaches are relieved but pissed off, as that second half was as shit as the first was jizz worthy

He was mostly very average, sand much worse than that at fullback - he was a liability

Ardie nails it in the post match comments. Need to bring that first half effort every week.
A speech I've heard time and again from about 2019

Mark Tele'a is a headscratcher, is he fast enough on the wing? Looked faster this week but still not a speedster. But so strong on the ball in the middle of the field, maybe a midfield position suits him?
-
linebreaks 10:1 is a good stat.

It’s like this generation of players can’t stick to a game plan for 80 mins. Instead we loosen up and play rugby with lots of kicking in attacking situations. If I was coach I would be pissed.

Proverbial Game of Two Halves...

Are we still hot on Jordan at fullback? Two absolutely fucking prime examples of what I keep yapping about.
Beauden suuuucks at first five.
Vaai was great as a loose 6.
Some gorgeous brutal hits from DP.
Good to see Jordie given a game plan that suits him.
Fuck Rieko, a centre's bread and butter pass is the short/medium to a guy in space. Double down on that training and I'm sold.
The penalty for the Matera "steal" should go on the WR site as a perfect example of bridging. Laughable.

Or maybe the opposition have a better halftime strategy meeting?
