All Blacks vs Tonga

[Toddy]

He's left Ritchie high and dry out there.

[Chris B.]

@Toddy What's he going to do?

The Boks have created a 3 on 2 - he's got to take the man he does.

[Toddy]

@Chris-B drift and pull the inside defenders across.

[Chris B.]

@Toddy Yeah - maybe - but, it's hardly a howler what he's done.

[Toddy]

@Chris-B yeah I don't think it's a howler. But I'm not sure what else AM can be referring to.

Don’t worry I’ve got a 500 word essay coming for how harsh some have judged Bridge on that play.

I think M4L is referring to the Alice band.

Broken record time

Does he cop that much criticism? I haven’t really noticed it. I have noticed a bunch of Cantabs (and Bones) getting super defensive about it tho.

Haha super defensive is saying a blues fan has his tinfoil hat on. Ioane...

Right now that I've set off your alarm by not praising Ioane for having a couple of ordinary games, please Mr Shrill, do highlight what my super defence of Bridge was? Oh also interested to hear the long list of super defensive cantabs and their ramblings.

@Bones ... my post was a parody of SammyC's from earlier in this thread.

If you say so.

Jordie Barrett is one of the most exciting young players in global Rugby, fast, rugged and skilful. His versatility and impact off the bench will be great assets for the ABs in the Rugby World Cup.

If that is true it does instantly make it rather more exciting. How many players do you reckon he is?

[African Monkey]

@Chris-B Had the chance to call players over by using his voice to number up but failed to do so, hence the overlap which was exploited by the boks. At international level, that was a howler all round from Bridge. It was Mo'unga who was left high and dry because of Bridge.

@African-Monkey oh hell yes. Not descended from saffas are you?

Thst cat looks familiar ... @dogmeat ... ?

[Rugga13]

@African-Monkey are you sure you're not talking about Englands first try against the All Blacks last year?

[dogmeat]

@booboo not guilty but reading the comments of the last 12 hours or so I reckon quite a few of you fulla's could do with a tinfoil helmet.

After reading ,

I suspect the thread might be better than the game

A trip down memory lane, 2015 RWC New Zealand against Tonga. The night the All Blacks took Coles to Newcastle.
