I will always be a fan of shooter especially his attack and kicking game but to be honest his tackling just ain’t up to this level .
sorry who is Shooter?

@nostrildamus Shaun Stevenson
thanks. Frustratingly talented player if only he could improve tackling and discipline (as in consistency and mindset). I just don't think, sadly, he will. Otherwise he'd be an AB.

@nostrildamus has all the tools to play international rugby but tackling is a non negotiable when your the last line of defence
All Blacks in the past have managed to hide the odd first five in defence but your fullback has to be courageous when it comes to defence
Staggered league were looking at him -

The Sky TV coverage was lost until kickoff, presumably due to a problem with the local satellite feed. I never saw the players run out or the haka. Maybe the replay has the full pre-match..
It starts with Munster doing the huddle at (presumably) the completion of the haka and then straight into the match.

In the highlights at least, AJ Lam looked good at center.
As did Plummer and the space being given to those outside him (even Christie looked to be moving the ball really well), but supposedly Plummer was average. Go figure.

No prizes for guessing which poster thought this
I have not verified if anyone else said this but I did so I'll vouch for myself.
When I wrote this it was completely valid.
He kicked a penalty dead, knocked it on with no pressure around him, and was losing metres ball in hand when carrying.
He at least got a nice intercept.

@Bones said in All Blacks XV v Munster:
@kpkanz featured heavily in the highlights, was lovely to see a backline going forward and finding space.
I watched the full game not just the highlights.
That first pass to Lam for the try and his intercept are the sole positive things he did the entire game, they were an outlier rather than the norm.
What you didn't see were the errors and poor carrying.
But you won't trust my analysis which is fine.
(and the first 30 mins he was genuinely horrible which is when I left my comment, he at least improved after that)
