@Victor-Meldrew Well spotted. Writing this on a phone in a crowded beer bar in Hanoi so you’ll have to excuse the typos.
Put it down to the beer then.....you should see my spelling/grammar.

That really shouldn't matter though.
It was completely different in the amateurs.
You could ditch players with complete impunity then.
Shelford being a classic example.But I think we are getting ever closer to that point where it doesn't matter.
It would be interesting to know how much contract value has in selections

@nostrildamus Gregor Paul. He’s writing about the ABs being spooked beyond their normal selves but we’ve been accustomed to seeing them in games like these many times lately.
I'm getting less and less impressed by his analyses...
I'm impressed that's possible.

Bumped into Razor this morning. He joked about the number of replay checks in vain on DMac try!
You should've bumped harder.

In the head. Might have knocked some sense into him

Did you say your name was Dalton?

@pakman The local TV producer is definitely 16th man when you play away in certain countries.

As great as the finish was the defensive effort was poor

@nostrildamus Shhh!

@pakman Great to know the proud Fern tradition of stalking is alive and well.

Right in front of where I was sitting. Live I couldn’t see any way he could have avoided being bundled out. Talk about stopping on a dime!
-
@His-Bobness The whole thing makes me nervous. For better or worse we should be developing alternative players at 10.
We don't want a repeat of 2011. -
@pakman It's absolutely incredible work by DMac to hold onto the ball given the way he is shifting his weight and rebalancing and contorting his body.
Years and years of touch footy and conditioning allowing him to add to the All Blacks legacy. Beautiful.

Though Roigard had a poor game by his standards, he's still the best halfback in NZ by a country mile.
If barrett is at 10 we need more sniping from 9 and run the game from 10.
Otherwise its just shovelling on from Barret and pop gun kicks

I think I get the problem now. The coaches have an idea of the sort of player profile they want to fit a team, but have little regard for utilising key unique strengths and fostering combinations that are at odds with or tangential to their team vision.
I suspect they are victims of their Crusader-level success. They need to be more flexible, unpredictable, and resourceful.
