@MN5 Monty Ioane. Italy no.11 no?

Best back on the pitch - shows a beautiful one eyed view of the game

Mr Yellow Card, the player formally known as Anton Lienert Brown. Had a week off but this week back to type. Stupidity is currently an integral part of our DNA

Haven't seen the game or know the players obv, but boy that is misleading.

ALB used to be known as Mr Reliable.

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

He is reliable. Can bank on him getting a yellow

If I did not know better when watching our back line it seems like they don’t know each other and they are all playing out of position.

Agree… by this time of year they should be finishing each others’ sentences

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?

[canefan]

Telea's late try was almost a microcosm of where are at right now. Just a mess in midfield, BB is Johnny on the spot and gets the fortuitous regather, throws the long ball and we score. Far from clinical

Need more from him than just Reliable.

A red card?

"At the end of the day...it's a game of two halves..."
Not that difficult

[nostrildamus]

Arguably our loosies are improving, the tight forwards are solid, but the assistant coaches for the backs are being quite subtle in their value add.

@Bones Ugo Moyne must be the single worst Rugby pundit in the world. Ignorant, seemingly blind and with his head up his own arse.

How very dare you

Just seen it on the highlights, great pass from BB, and his own try was great vision. Sounds a bit more like a 15 than a 10 to me though.

[nzzp]

@nostrildamus I think BB at 15 is very good at the moment. Miles better than 10

@nostrildamus said in Italy v All Blacks:

What happened to Levi Aumua, by the way, was he a one trick pony or just not well used at the Crusaders?

Yes

I rewatched it just now. I see DH contributed by giving Rieko a hospital pass as the Italians rushed up. Quelle surprise

I’m a typical arrogant AB fan. I don’t know anything about the opposition
