@hydro11 What has been bad about it? He's broken the line or beaten tacklers every time he's gotten the ball. Zero mistakes on defence. He dropped the ball once on attack. Hardly alone on that today.

Are we talking Ioane or Naholo here...

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Very nice work by TJP there after stoopid kick by BB.

[Tim]

Barrett has been poor in this half.

Reiko's had a rare bad game today.

I don't think it's been that bad, he's been making ground in traffic ... hasn't had any decent runs in the open since about the first 20 minutes though.

Again...Ioane or Naholo...

How was that ever a maul?

Hasn't looked as dangerous on attack today. I'm judging him based on the high standards he has set.

I think that applies to most of the ABs. I blame the poor refereeing, the penalty and card lottery, poor ARs, and the Argies being in chaos. That just drags the level of the game down.

Its not a one or the other only answer.

Great first break and run from Havili!

I hope Barrett is more introspective than that.

The whole team has been.

[Mokey]

Fuck me days. How the hell did they fuck that up.

[Nepia]

I think TJ just cracked one out there watching Havili run.

[chimoaus]

I wonder if we have ever been held to 0 in a half vs Argentina?

[Tim]

The problem with this team is that they can't simplify things when the high speed, flat attack game plan is disrupted.

@bones

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but he blew a try with a forward pass that school boy should be embarrassed about, then followed that up by passing the ball to the argies without even looking where his support was.

[Bones]

@kiwimurph very true...I just noticed @gt12 having a crack, people love to knock Naholo.

[taniwharugby]

Hate to be the team that comes up against us if we can string it together for 60+ mins

Oh right, well I can completely take ya seriously now...

Yeah, we don't seem to be able to tighten up and stick to the basics when required. Very messy performance.
