[booboo]

BB's last touch in tests is a try?

Finally when beauden doesn't kick

Beauden Barrett scores. 11-29.

[Darth Sader]

Beauden Barrett 4 MOTM

[Gunner]

If all I hear from Razor and Scott Barrett after the game about how tough a team Italy are, and how well they did I’ll be pissed off.

I want them to put their hands up and be honest… “yep, we were rubbish”

[kev]

BB gives ball away and then gets a try. There is no God.

Close between him, Havili and Tele'a tbh

Lot of criticism of BB and he has been shit today. It's a shame because he has played some good games this season. Unfortunately, he has just never learnt some important things which could have made him an all time great.

[KiwiMurph]

Time for one more ruined restart?

A penny for Harry Plummer's thoughts. He really should have had more game time at 10 this year.

I'm not saying he would have DMac's talent, but he has the sort of steadiness good players can build off, that a slower less confident BB lacks.

The Italians have been great.

No. They've been shitter than us

They have brought heat at breakdown and on D.

But still been shitter than us

[antipodean]

That should ensure he's done enough to get selected for next year.

Yes.

That last try guarantees him another 20 tests.

That is probably fair.

At least Havili will get out of this game with his head held high, having decresed his intercept rate

They don't drop senior players, we know he's gonna be there until 2027.

Surely Beauden is never picked for the ABs again after this tour.

Reminiscent of Spencer at the end of 2004.

Only 4 tries off Howletts record now.

He could be the most capped and top try scoring Allblack of all-time if they keep picking him :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Good to have his experience around the squad.
