@frugby MacKenzie didn't do much, came on and flopped around like usual, just was far more effective than Beauden, who hasn't been a good first five for three-quarters of a decade.
Disagree. Barrett ticked things over nicely.
McKenzie came on and hit gaps at real pace, and looked dangerous. Real impact sub.

Not perfect, but a good win.
Sam Cane, well deserved he’s always put his body on the line for the cause.
The good:
Tight 5, including off the bench.
Sititi, what a monster.
Caleb Clarke and Will Jordan.
ALB not a highlight reel performance but did the little things very well.Razor has been slow and steady with bringing the new guys in, the ones who have been given the chance have stood up, so it’s time to back them, hand them the reigns, and don’t stop there, bring a few other fresh faces in too.
TJ has been a good All Black, but it’s time to move on.
I’m now in the keep Jordan at fullback camp.
If they must have BB in the team, it has to be on the bench.I’d really like to see Plummer given a decent shot.
Right wing is wide open, Reece and Telea have both been ok but haven’t set the world on fire.
Loosies have been talked about to death. For me, Jacobson and Blackadder are placeholders and squad cover at best, time for one of them to make way for a big ball player.

@nostrildamus Wales and Georgia being the few teams they will beat.
Could go either way
Not much between our RWC group -
Fk sake Kirsty, of course Razor isn’t going to say if he’s taking Perenara and Cane on the EOYT. 🤦🏼♂️

If there is a positive so far this season , some of our younger guys are showing they belong .
Almost as if we should keep the evolution going......

This is a classic Bledisloe fluffer match for the ABs. An awful, awful Wallabies side to give them confidence they aren't on the wrong trajectory ahead of an EOYT.
A real team would have punished them for some of the silly mistakes they made out there.

They're really competing against each other IMO, for what it is worth I think LJ covers more positions to an ok level. But neither are gamebreakers.

My thoughts exactly, it’s gotta be one or the other, not both

I was thinking LJ is a lot like Cane, just quicker. Hope he has better hands.

TV camera cuts to the Wellington fans with a sign saying "Beaudy is a 10 for us".
Jeff Wilson chimes in "he has had a great first half".
That's where NZ Rugby is at.
Pats on the back regardless of standards and silver centurion caps for all as long as your knees hold up.

A bit of ball carrying oomph wouldn’t go amiss either.
It irks me when guys 1.88-1.9m and about 110kg have as much impact as a fly on a windscreen.

Sititi to 8, Lakai to 7, and we find a 6
Leave Sititi at 6, Lakai to 7 and Sotutu to 8. That trio would fuck shit up.
I wouldn't argue with that mate! Sititi looks the shit to me at 6, got the makings of best one for ABs since a certain Jerome!!!

We need a loosie version of Tosi from the bench. Comfortable with ball running and a presence at the breakdown
