Let’s see what changes Fozzie makes at half time, it was a feature of Henry and Hanson’s early years to right a poor performance.
Get Sotutu on

BB would get crucified for that shit.
Richie is a million bucks with front foot ball and a $1.25 without it
He’s been fine. Been playing nice flat and getting our ball runners over the gain line. We are just turning it over too easily.
The ruck work is extremely poor.
Bingo.
ABs have been turned over a couple of times in crucial positions because Argies have - in a very AB-like fashion - known when to strike and when to roll out and go again.
If Sotutu can help at ruck time, great, but otherwise...
Look TBH I'd say this is more about knocking rust off against a team who've had nothing but training to look forward too. ABs have a lot of changes and their rhtyhm wasn't great last week.

I know the stats say different but it feels like we have hardly touched the ball!!
-
A refereeing performance like this doesn't require a matching players' performance.
Teams will be looking at this and last week knowing niggle can put us off.

@KiwiMurph you'll be right. Quick halftime chat from Supercoach and it'll be a big win. How big?
You mean Cheika?

Reckon he can ruin the Argies?
I think he speaks French and Italian but not Argentinian. Maybe enough Italian to get by

That's a very, very poor all black loose forward trio. Not in the same class as Argentina for physicallity. Everybody loves Savea but he often only performs in the second half when the game opens up. Impact player off the bench at this level.

A world class impact player off the bench. Seriously, fuck having to play against a pocket rocket like that when your legs are tired and your lungs are burning. But instead we start him at 8. It's just braindead shit.

Think we're not going wide enough (when we do get the ball).
I get the impression of space on the wings but we're taking it to contact 2 and 3 in from there.
@booboo going wide has not amounted to anything. Still need to make inroads through the forwards. Every team knows we like to go wide, use our backs and they know how to defend it. We are boring and predictable. And for Gods sake don’t kick the ball away.

This woulld have been a perfect game for a terrier like Boshier
-
Just got in. Wowsers.
Out of curiosity, who led the haka?
-
We weren't as bad as some people are saying. Argentina were very accurate - no tackles missed in the first half is incredible against us. We still had quite a lot of possession. We just need those 50/50's to go our way.

Tuipulotu really doesn't make a physical impact at test level eh?
He can, but it’s not consistent. He’s been sick, maybe not 100%? If so get the young guy on
