Italy v All Blacks

[Gunner]

Will Jordan’s shit half will be forgotten about now because of that try.

[Darth Sader]

Will Jordan’s my favourite player

[Yeahtheboys]

If McKenzie was out there, this would be all his fault right? But since it’s Beaudy in the 10 jersey it’s therefore the whole teams fault

[sparky]

@MajorRage Lack of pace out wide is killing us.

Let's be honest, how many of these current All Blacks are either the best player or the second best player in their position in the world?

Not many.

What's that got to do with playing shit?

@MajorRage said in Italy v All Blacks:

We have literally zero idea what to do with line breaks.

Zero.

We did the right thing there. Take the tackle, recycle and score. Simple rugby.

[Jet]

Just passed Jonah in the all-time try scorer list.

Lomax & Taylor (I gave Taylor lots of shit during the Corona years but he's been excellent recently)

Zero.

no good distributors and no one running nice lines to give them options... also appears to be a lack of communication and "instinct"

[sparky]

@Tordah Lomax for sure. Taylor probably.

[ACT Crusader]

The in goal area is smaller than the UK league grounds. Wouldn’t want to be sliding in for a try here.

[African Monkey]

Should be enough to win this test. Italy are making things difficult at breakdown, but aren't offering anything with the ball.

No more than 15. On a good day. Over the last century.

Funny how with Schmidt as coach all of a sudden a number of Wallabies are in the conversation.....

[sparky]

Will Jordan in.

Italy 6 All Blacks 17

Scoreline flattering the visitors a bit.

You won't find a single person on this forum defending Beauden at 10. Absurd selection.

[Billy Tell]

That was a pretty average half of rugby. Rucks are not clean from nz.

Funny how with Schmidt as coach all of a sudden a number of Foster era All Blacks looked better.

We have too much talent for Italy, but man we are such a poorly selected and coached side right now. Surf Jesus has turned out to be a poor man's Fozzie but also with a strong bias to his own region.

Steady on.
