@Frank said in All Blacks v France 2:
Rieko has played well, but he's far below what he used to be. Now just a solid winger.
I disagree, I reckon he’s probably a better all round player now. As long as he still has the pace…
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...

@kev Rieko has done a lot more than just "run" tonight
Admit it - he is better on the wing?

@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 don’t know… he’s not quite at the Julian Savea stage yet where he’ll head back in towards traffic just so he doesn’t have to sprint because he’s too fat

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

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.
-
I’ve been a critic of Ardie in the past, but he’s been very good tonight

Rieko was awful at centre over how many seasons…Proctor already showing his distribution skills and accuracy

You like accuracy? Then how about typing Rieko?
-
Fk sake Rieko pass it, Ardie was away.
-
Kirifi just made his first turnover...on himself. For the French.
