All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3

@antipodean Clive Woodward reckons subbing Smith was the turning point for us in the 2nd test, this along with subbing Kaino off were the bits he felt Hansen & Co got wrong.

He's right. Smith's kicking and the way he was getting our under-manned pack around the park was great - especially on a night where Barrett was not going as well as he could.
TJ came on, started throwing bad passes to our forwards, who then got smashed backwards, we lost shape, lost territory and - as noted earlier - he messed up defensively.

@junior yep, although easy call to make with hindsight, given the impact TJ usually makes and the form he has been in.

“There’s been a bit of edge there,” said Kaino, who is so worked up that he had to be told to cool it in the team’s training session on Tuesday morning.
Assume SBW was on the receiveing end of a lot of Kaino's "anger".

Edited that a bit.

I used to go to the same gym as Piri and Neemia. It was definitely no surprise that they were two players who would always struggle with fitness. Was always frustrating watching them muck around, and to a certain extent, waste some of the talent that they had.
Was a stark contrast between those two and Tana and Rodders.

You were wise not to. That piece did a disservice to NZ in my opinion. Made them lookalike whiney losers. Boo-hoo it's not fair sort of thing. The actual quotes from any players were fine, it was the "journalism" around it that stank the place out.

My dear boy. Have you been out in the hot colonial sun too long. You risk starting a long argument about who is most offended

Murray Kinsella from the visiting press is also saying Jordie will be picked at 15.

Well that should distract from Daggs last line of defence effort last week.

On Fekitoa. Quite a few seem to be of the thought he blows a lot of try scoring opportunities by not passing. Is this an actual thing, or just perceived? I get frustrated with his indecisiveness with ball in hand at times, but it's generally when he's got a good d line in front of him. He seems pretty good at putting others away when a try is on from memory.

@Bones well the last game on this very tour he played he absolutely butchered a try in the first few minutes by not drawing and passing but instead crabbing sideways keeping ball in hand
@KiwiMurph Aha. I was distracted with work...
