All Blacks v France II

@kev Rieko has done a lot more than just "run" tonight

Iām loving Reiko back at 11⦠just suits him
Proctor has much better distribution and handling skills and Reiko can just run.

Actually Rieko has been passing /offloading quite a bit from wing this game!

Rieko has played well, but he's far below what he used to be. Now just a solid winger.
I disagree, I reckon heās probably a better all round player now. As long as he still has the paceā¦

I'm suspecting it's not the pace which has a big drop off (although yet to test that clearly tonight) but the acceleration (or is it reaction speed) seems slower...

Admit it - he is better on the wing?

Reiko gets some ammo for social media in the coming week
They'll all still want him dropped like they do with every other Aucklander

@African-Monkey said in All Blacks v France 2:
They ... every other Aucklander
WTF? Persecution complex much?
Apologies if that was satirical. I fucking hope it was. Otherwise... delusional. -
Fuck you all, Rieko's the man, give him time!

He's clearly slower than before
Don't mind him, just think Clarke in form and Tangitau will offer more -

He is better on the wing currently than Proctor is playing at centre, based on the last 2 games but who is to say Proctor is playing better at centre than Rieko would?

I donāt know⦠heās not quite at the Julian Savea stage yet where heāll head back in towards traffic just so he doesnāt have to sprint because heās too fat

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks v France 2:
Ardie shows how you do it
Certainly helps when none of the French forwards keep their feet on the drive

-
No way Savea was supporting his weight though

@Yeetyaah said in All Blacks v France 2:
Kirifi yet to get a turnover at int'l level
Fuck you, he's the man, give him time!!!!!

Naaaaah don't feel like it. Should have had 15 turnovers in the first game to justify his spot in the team tbh.

He got his arms all the way underneath that ball carrier.
The French forward off his feet and just collapsed on the ball carrier certainly was penalisable.

Iāve been a critic of Ardie in the past, but heās been very good tonight
