Also just checked, fella's when everyone goes on about balance of back row etc, and you have to have a lineout option, Poms starting loosies were 6ft, 6ft 1in and 6ft 3in. Hardly big men and they seemed to go pretty well. Seemed to concentrate on disruting our ball rather than just winning it.

Dan, their lineout was dogshit

I know, they just seemed to concentrate n stuffing up our ball, or even stuff we won of theirs. With all our advantage how much ball did we win at back through our loosies? Bugger all only 1 I think. I not suggesting you don't have a good tall loosie, but it not be and end all,, the Poms lineout was shit, but they beat us up everywhere else. Height isn't everything to me, though it helps and need it in middle where you don't tend to get room to be lifted etc as much.

If the primary job of the loose forwards is to control the breakdown we are failing that miserably

We had 3 short loosies for the last quarter which didn't help us at all.

I’d have preferred Sititi to come on for Savea.

Cleaning up after yourself is basically a good thing. Recording it and posting it to social media to get congratulated for it is fucked up.
Geez mate when I played , scoring a try or winning a ruck was a good thing, but needing to celebrate (high fives etc)was f***ed up in our minds, but if players today wish to do it, up to them.
All I saying times change etc.So he's celebrating cleaning the sheds?
It just comes across as the worst 'look how humble i am, doing this menial job when I'm a superstar'. whether it is him or NZR doing it, just fucking stop it. Doing it is a good thing, deliberately publicising it for praise is cringeworthy and about the least NZ thing I've ever heard of.What is this least NZ thing you ever heard of.
I think to pretend NZers are all quiet humble farming type people is perhaps a lot more cringeworthy.Are you serious bro? Well if you're right and there are NZers who aren't farmers, I've never fucken met 'em.

Yep well I met one who claimed he wasn't a farmer, but the bastard sounded awfully like he had an Aussie accent. And the prick didn't even know Colin Meads' home town(or town he had farm near)!
The other thing is I suspicious of anyone who says un-New Zealand , what I used to hear in Aussie all the time, it's so un_Australian, almost always when it was an Aussie who was doing wrong!!! I never even heard it before I went to Aus! -

Jonah didn't even know who Colin Meads was before he met him. What a hopeless New Zealander.

Not sure how much Jonah knew about farming but he could certainly plow through defenders better than anyone before or since.
