All Blacks v Argentina I
-
Mixed half, but have to be pleased with that scoreline. I appreciate the plan is likely to keep the ball in hand, however I think we’re suffering from not having a good tactical kicker at 10 (or 9 this game). I’d like to see some more judicious field kicking to bring some variation, our aerial abilities notwithstanding. Facetiousness aside, ref has been very good.

Ratima's clearing box kicks have been shit. 10 to 15 meters.
Is there anything that he brings that warrants a test start?

Roigard being injured

Ratima is so slow to deliver the ball. Stop looking around and pass it on!
It’s a bit Weepu-esque isn’t it.

Cool name. Cortez Ratima. Yeah, sounds better than Fucky Doodly

Nice try! Small gripe, but when we have a penalty kick to line out, Taylor always walks ahead of the kicker. The wrong ref might call that.

Agree and need to add in the penalty kicks to touch that are taken metres in front of the mark.

Fucking massive scrum there. Beautiful

Our scrum is rock solid.
@ACT-Crusader even without our 2 best props

Stop fucking kicking the ball away. Pass it Beauden. It’s hardly gone out the backline all game.
Thats a staple of Beaudens game.
Our attack looked the best it's looked in years with Dmac at 10 last year. But he got dropped because we thought beating this resurgent Aussie team by less than 10 in Aussie wasn't good enough. Embarrassing looking at it after this morning.

It won't happen. But I'd like to see DMac start the second half to see what he can do

Credit to Ratima - he saw that the ball needed to be spun straight to Reece.

Made a nice run from the base to get us really moving forward too

Thats more like it, strong carry from Proctor, snipe from Ratima, a good carry from Kirifi and quick ball to Reece. That’s what happens when we don’t kick it.

Icing on the cake there for the first half. Puts a nice shine on things.
