Italy v All Blacks
-
So that was a fitting end to our season. Ugh.
The Canes Golden Boy looked a bit average this match, probably below average in the first 20 before his try. The hated Canes 9 had a better game. Everyone has that bump game eventually though.
BB's kick passes go to no one too much of time now. The new players coming in don't seem to be aware that he'll do them constantly.
That stupid new law interpretation showed how stupid it is this weekend. We get penalised for a guy not moving out of the way and then get penalised for a guy trying to move out of the way (which I said would happen).
Why are we hitting Rieko on a short ball? Jeff Wilson was correct, it's a low % play especially when we should be using him in space.
Did anyone actually have a good game?
TJP and Cane - enjoy your NH $ and retirement. Despite the fan brickbats both have been good ABs.
@Nepia watched the first half, and Rieko always gets the ball and the tackler. The same can be said for most of our backline passing. We are obsessed with tight pop passing to cut through the line. It's rarely pretty or effective. One guy who consistently seems to run nice lines and gets space is Will Jordan

It especially looks ugly in tough NH conditions.

To be fair, playing in zero degrees doesn't sound great

Ok now I see why they like BB

And WTF?"22. David Havili (Lienert-Brown, 62min): A couple of decent touches, and very handy tackle on Ioane. 6"

It's the ABs DNA, according to Wayne Smith.

Sounds like Razors innovative ‘tackle a teammate’ initiative

He is reliable… you can count on him for a yellow card in the 70th minute just about every game.

Playing far too flat. We hold the ball far too long at 10 instead of shifting it into the MF so they can work. Where have I heard that before?

Need more from him than just Reliable.
