All Blacks v Argentina I

sparky

They (Foster and Schmidt) picked Christie ahead of Roigard. ‍️

Mattasaurus

Pumas playing well, keeping the ball in hand and showing some urgency .... some of our boys need to fire up.... feels like we're losing but the score is 31 - 17

@sparky Roigard isn’t fit, no?

Yeetyaah

Roigard is injured, as is Hotham

sparky

@stodders Yes, but he was available for the 2023 RWC Final. And he was left out of the 23.

Sorry for the confusion.

We were 21 points ahead.

Then Finley fucking Christie came on.

And now we're under serious pressure.

Dumb selections cost you Test matches.

We had lost all momentum long before the bench changes.

akan004

Argentina with all the momentum now. We need to get some possession.

Frank

Probably a relief or we were about to have a 2nd player in the bin

Chris

Powered straight through Christie and Savea

Wurzel

What's the point of Proctor?

antipodean

Why is the ginger going into pillar at ruck? WTF is he going to achieve against forwards?

ACT Crusader

No depth in our kicking to get the ball out of our half. Either from halfback or our first receiver

kpkanz

Will Beauden be dropped for letting this lead slip as the game manager?

I wonder..

Give it anyway. The offences are still the offences

Canes4life

We just look poorly coached. Kicking the ball away all the time, inaccuracy in everything we’ve done. Ardie and Jordan probably the only two players that can hold their head high.

Landers92

Be good to bring on ALB instead of proctor when he is meant to return. At least get some leadership and stability out there to close this out

sparky

Real test now of Robertson's All Blacks. Can they regain any momentum?

sparky

@Canes4life Newell was superb before he went off.

Chris

And we put our biggest weapon on the wing and take him out of the game.

I yearn for the days of Foster and Schmidt.

I yearn for the days when we had all those posters telling us everything wrong in NZ rugby was down to Foster.

And how a coaching genius was going to turn it all around.
