All Blacks vs Wallabies I
-
@cgrant agreed. De Groot reminded me of Nepo Laulala flattening out all the time. Razor lost momentum throwing him back in. Should've started Williams IMO. And yes Lomax was gassed. Why are they running him past the Red Line...no faith in Tosi? or their back-up THs.

With Surf Features having a bazillion assistant coaches for no apparent reason and even less discernible value, I resorted to Google to double check that Scott Hansen is allegedly the Defence Coach of the All Blacks.
Is it policy that AB's Defence coaches now have to have the first name Scott? And why is the new bloke as useless as McLeod?
Pretty much every time the Australians were hot on attack in our 22, it just seemed we were going to eventually fold and wave them through.

@Donsteppa I'm more interested in finding out who's in charge of conditioning... This person needs their credentials checked.

Plank Harrison can be quite balanced.
Yeah, he's pretty good.
-
No one asked the obvious questions.
Why no points in the last 20 minutes again?
Why did you ship four tries again?
Why was that performance so bad?
Has time finally run out for Ardie Savea at 8 and Damien McKenzie at 10?
Why is this side going backwards and what are you going to do to turn it around? -

He's got the ABs playing pretty good rugby for 40-60 minutes. I wouldn't say Foster had the team looking this good for those periods
Have a look at the last 3 games of the RWC and tell me we haven't gone backwards and Robertson has this team looking better for longer periods.
Hmmm, first year vs 4 years of records...

Winza win.
Team would look vey different with A Smith, S Whitelock and R Mo'unga.
Yet Ratima* and Vaai* have stepped into those shoes pretty easily and were outstanding tonight and let's face it, Mo'unga was a pretty average 10.
I have no problems with Robertson losing games while he tries out and develops new players or decides to stick with experience and battle-hardened players to get results, but at the moment we have the worst of both worlds.
.* I'm finding it bloody ironic that these two only got starts due to injuries

@MN5 said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:
@nta will be gutted he missed that comeback, especially when you consider he’s gone to watch a band who’s sole claim to fame is a shitty cover of ‘Black Betty’
Exactly what I'd expect from someone who only listens to Top 40 radio.
-
What's the logic in taking off your best player Ratima early in the 2nd half.
I don't get it. -
@BerniesCorner none if he is still positively contributing
-
Assertive leadership is a big problem too. This is literally the difference between winning and losing at this level.
SA I and II, Aus I all close.
GOAT could have been 3-0 here. (pure conjecture of course, but f**k how many rabbits did he pull out of the hat) -

I don't get it.There might have been a reason, but It's not as if the "close the game down" option worked.

Fuk yeah. No wonder Macca quit. Starting to think Macca should have been the one in charge. Hansen, Ellison ain't cutting the mustard at this level. Mind you having said that, it appears we dont have the cattle to choose from either. Is this the reason they are hanging onto some; looking at you Ardie, TJ, ALB well past their best. So farking frustrating!
