ALB sucks as a bench option
Gets a bench spot
Make it make sense....
Makes perfect sense. The coaches are retarded.
You've picked a winger who can play 12, perhaps 13.
You've picked a 12 who can play 13.So an injury to Tupaea can be covered by the winger Fainga'anuku.
An injury to Proctor can be covered by either of Tupaea or Fainga'anuku.
But an injury to Fainga'anuku gets covered by, I don't know, Tosi?
So why wouldn't you ignore the bloke with a proven record playing 11 and 13, and instead pick a bloke whose only impact is to get penalised off the fucking park?

Anyway, all of this to say that this isn’t something uniquely pertinent to the All Blacks alone. But where the ABs have been lacking, I think, is in those moments right before and after high balls. What the ABs need to do, more than anything else, is work on their defensive retreat and make sure that any spilt ball from the high ball is cleaned up.
That would require a cultural change within the team after witnessing them give up against South Africa in Wellington.
Ellison's top three bullet points must be:
- Be slow and lazy to realign.
- Don't effectively communicate.
- Be an individual.

Interesting watching Aussie ex-hack David Pembroke’s podcast interview with two former Wallaby coaches in Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie on the prospects for England vs All Blacks this weekend. Jones reckons Borthwick has England 12 months ahead of the ABs in terms of development and believes they’ll have too much depth and power. He reckons it will be close, but England will take it by “a few”.
If Eddie is predicting we lose that makes me a little more confident.

Of course forwards are more important than backs.
A perfect example of “ Awful analysis, incorrect conclusions, zero insight. Wrong about pretty much everything”
Backs are constantly saving lazy forwards, score the points and more importantly get the good looking women.

And we rely on a Barrett, aha, from one brother to another, aha.
You need a bridge section...
# Our coach struggles with his men
has problems with his 10
And his love for things Barrett will never end
But we walk together, a, ha,
Doing selfies with each other, ah ha # -

Bollocks, us men give you girls the ball only to see you knock it on at the first opportunity. However, we keep doing it because we like to scrum.

oh the oldest debate in the book, you're both wrong of course, scrum halves are the coolest, most important people on the pitch and in the bar, the rest of you do as you're told.
Shut up you yappy little fucker.

Another chance to be a broken record about our idiotic media
"The 25 year old's return sees Wallace Sititi demoted to the bench"
Sititi has NOT been demoted. Repeat, NOT demoted, he has been put on the bench because he is an absolute fucking weapon for us at the back end of the game. You know, the part of the game where matches are won and lost? If he had been DEMOTED as this absurd article suggests, we wouldn't be fucking trusting him with winning us the game at the end would we!!
Jesus H Christ when will these idiots learn that modern rugby is a 23 man game?!?
100%.
They also refer to Parker as having been "dropped" when in reality the thinking was probably more along the lines of giving him some rest so that he would be 100% energized for the England match.
They are probably just looking for engagement and headlines but the scarier thought is that they might actually be that stupid.

Fair. Didn’t expect you to take me up on it. What shall we do for the other 59 minutes?
I’ll stop derailing the thread now
