You reckon Carter was tearing up defences in the first 30?He had usually plotted three penalties, two of which were pretty tough.
How is that tearing up defences?
If you can't tear up the defence in the first 30 minutes at least be putting points on the board in other ways.
Dude, I was responding to a post of how BB can't breach defences in the early stages of a game.
I will fully agree about the goal kicking but that wasn't being discussed.
Actually, BB's kicking in general play was mostly pants for the Canes this year but was outstanding yesterday. Was great to see.

I mistook you point, apologies. While both Carter and Barrett hardly lit up a defence in first half, Carter was far more effective in the grand scheme of things in the first 40 minutes - that was my point. Much of the frustration with Barrett at test level is while waiting for the defence to break down in the second half - he isn't terribly constructive or authoritative in the first.
That said Beauden was effective off the bench in the second half through 2014/5 that I'd probably refuse to name an all time AB XV on principle that Beaudy should be 16 (and SBW 17).

@african-monkey Harris is the 2nd hooker as long as Coles isn't back playing.
@stargazer Yeah I get that but between Harris, Coltman, Dixon, Parsons, Funnell etc there isn't a hell of a lot of difference so it doesn't really matter who they pick tbh.

Krustys furious apparently . I reckon what he needs to kickstart the wallabies is a catchy slogan for the boys , something like "Make Australia Great Again" or abbreviate it to " MAGA" when they put it on hats for supporters. That should help their profile over there.

They need a packed. Its a bit like aura, she's very strong and wins games.

@booboo spellings/grammar has never been my strong point. That said neither was my rugby in my playing days :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’d suggest carrying the weight of the world around us probably more responsible for his aches and pains

"He's there (over the ball) nearly all the time, so he becomes a target and they do whatever they can to get rid of him."
He's sore because he bends over the ball and gets cleaned out. Didn't see neck rolls, but yeah the impacts from the clean outs were around his neck and shoulders. Maybe that's on the edge but they're not "targeting" Bono specifically.
Sooking and excuses. Par for the course from Krusty.

Poor Aussies. It must suck when you've had 6 more Prime Ministers than Bledisloe Cups in the past 15 years.

@jegga lucky we never had a player they specifically targeted, with more deliberately dirty tactics!
TBH, that was one of the niggliest games I have seen from Pocock
-
Ardie looked better tonight, although got bumped off by Tui.
Pocock engaging in a bit of off the ball niggle, he must be getting slower

@taniwharugby Tui bumped off quite a few, not just Ardie and I am not a Savea apologist.

@booboo in one ruck Owen got away with holding him around the neck as Squire was providing the grunt to shift Pocock. Barnes was right there and I was sure he was going to blow it up. But then he obviously saw it was Pocock and let it go

I saw that too , it didn’t look good at all .I’m sure that’s being broken down frame by frame over at g and g . “ Loik at the derty keewee bastard trying to rip of saint Bonococks halo” etc etc .
-
@jegga yeah the only thing that saved him was that big push by Squire. I don't think Owen was applying much force, and Pocock's whole body went in one go, rather than clearly being dragged by the head. Still not good though, anytime you are holding on to the neck you are just asking for a penalty... or worse!
-
@broughie oh I know, Tui looked good when he came on, a real menace with the ball, bar that, was one of Ardie's better games in some time.

@paekakboyz were you playing for Kapiti college when Nick Belton got carted off in the Westpac rescue chopper after doing in his neck? If you thought would stop him from playing hall rugby at his flat in Aro valley and almost repeating that you’d be wrong .

I don't really see the big problem. The specialist 12 starts at 12 whilst the very effective bench player who covers 12-13 is on the bench covering 12 and 13?
In modern rugby the bench is very important and ALB made a very strong case last weekend that he is perfectly suited to the 23 shirt for the big AB games moving forward.
With SBW due back next game the pressure is on Laumape to perform. And if he does, the pressure will be on SBW.

Laumape went ok on the weekend, but ALB was outstanding for 68 minutes at 12 the previous week. Coming on for 68 minutes and playing well hardly screams "put me on the fucking bench", does it?
