TRC: Pumas v All Blacks

[sparky]

@akan004 Fifita is too lazy to be an AB. Suspect he'll be watching the World Cup on television.

[booboo]

Shot this time.

?

They've turned down three.

[Machpants]

So you can enter a mail from anywhere? So much offside, not rolling away, etc

[booboo]

Brodie reminding Steve Hansen who his special athlete in the Forward pack is.

Hi Folks

Despite Big Bridie’s bid for a wing/centre spot, Ardie Savea must be an early bet for world poty

[Stargazer]

Funny. I was just writing a post saying that I rarely struggle to stay awake during All Blacks games, but this was an exception. Then Brodie woke me up.

[Machpants]

So funny though, didn't need to work to get the ball, he was stopped when he caught it

[Old Samurai Jack]

Get Fifita off!

Didn’t see first part of game. Looks okay but so hard to guess on intensity on TV. Looks a step up from super, although lots of errors from ABs Pumas throwing their bodies around but look spent. 20-10 at half good imo. How Reece go to start?

[Stargazer]

@Old-Samurai-Jack And Jordie. I want to see Ennor on that left wing. Not a giraffe pretending to be a winger.

[E African Troll]

Good 39 mins for Pumas and then Sanchez throws a diabolical and idiotic pass that was never on and in a Flash ABs get a 11 pt lead that flatters them

Well balanced game but has likely swung decisively to NZ on one pass

Fifita Lavanini and Kramer has been fucking awful with their discipline

A Savea is a machine never goes to ground easily or willingly

[booboo]

20-9 at the half.

Deserved lead. Ever so slightly flattering but not masively so.

Arg looked good early. ABs starting to win the territoryand possession.

We seem to be vulnerable to the well executed high kick. They are dropping it where there is traffic and our catchers can't get to it.

Re Fifita. Someone above said he was lazy. I don't think that's his problem. He's just made too many errors. A couplkwe of pens and some handling errors. Mind you he s not Robinson Crusoe on the handling front. And some were pretty tough.

Angus generally good. Arg got away with a few things early but few glaring errors.

[Damo]

We are playing OK for first test of the year. Normally we are dreadful in the first test.

Ardie Savea making a strong case for a starting spot somewhere in the 15. Fifita making a strong case to be left out.

Don't get the hate for Jordie Barrett. With Dagg gone we miss a big kicker in the back 3.

[Stargazer]

@Jaguares4real The Pumas good in those 39 minutes? You must be watching another game.
