The Silver Fern

Incoming sentiment analysis of this game vs 2020 Wellington

@mariner4life said in All Blacks MOTM v France I:

Tupou Vaai was massive at 6

Is that why we had no ability to stop their attack in our 22, because he was "so good"?

@Mr-Fish said in 2025 All Blacks v France series:

I thought CLW was good

What did he do well? Some ok carrying, some hitting rucks, ineffectual tackling. If that is "good" for an AB 8 then we are in serious trouble.

That was France C.

Same shit for the last six years.

Canes fans that are so below normal IQ that they will turn up and say that Proctor was pretty good. When his defence was a continuation of every shit performance in every super rugby play off game.

The Brumbies destroyed him and Krifi, another joke selection. The Lions will beat Australia by 20 points in every game.

But here we are with a coach who cannot read, and so many shit loose forwards.

@mariner4life said in All Blacks v France I:

What the fuck do you fo either Ardie Savea? With ball in hand few are better. But in a test team? He's do selfish. He will actively avoid attacking rucks, so he can get the next run.

He is fuxking garage at 7. Absolutely worthless. Even his moronic Canes fans will not pump that performance. This has been very well established since 2019, yet here we are again, because New Zealand is run by the dumbest guys you knew at university.

What does he do well as a 7? Nothing.

Amusingly, the Herald gave Savea the highest rating. He was fucking shit, and wasn't getting super rugby ref treatment.

@ACT-Crusader I will watch a replay.

Are the coaches just spreadsheet maxing and don't realize that every other test coach can do that too?

@Darth-Sader said in 2025 All Blacks v France series:

CLW was ok

Yep, as a grafter he was fine. Carried okay. Looked like he was involved frequently. Fucking low bar. Still a lot better than the other clowns.

@ACT-Crusader Only Tuipulotu should be starting from that mob. Papalii would add some starch to that garbage loose trio.

@Mr-Fish Vaa'i should be starting at lock. He is in no way a 6.

God fucking damn it, I cannot find anyway to stream this game.

Ah, the brains of the outfit ... Joey Wheeler.

Mils Moroniana with the big call "now we know that Jordan is a great finisher, but there's only two wing spots."

These people have well paid sinecures ...

Ah wonderful, some insightful analysis from subnormal retard Kieran Read.

Jordan, Taylor, J Barrett.

@No-Quarter Thought there was some nice space created in first half, but very soft in second half.

@sparky Put a grand down next week

@KiwiMurph Savea is a luxury selection at 7. He can be a brilliant player, but tackling and hitting rucks are the core roles of a seven.
