All Blacks v Tonga

Can't even score a half century in 40mins against this team. Dreadful.
@antipodean I blame Bridge

It's been obvious all season that Bridge is in terrible form. It's been obvious for a long while he is a very limited option. And yet Foster and Co. selected him on the Left Wing for the ABs. 🤬
If I had to choose between him and Jordie..

Jordie can at least beat a man one on one. Bridge is like picking a hooker that can’t throw into a line out.

Papalii a better winger than Bridge.
I think the only All Black that wouldn't be is probably Owen Franks
Frank’s will be spewing he’s not playing could’ve scored his first AB try

Nah he's proud as to have so many tests unsullied by scoring, pure front row

Are there no Cantabs on the Fern anymore? Bridge is taking a hammering and there's no one defending him.

I'd say Beauden would like to be out there too.
Edit: actually would this not be a perfect warmup for BB?@nostrildamus said in All Blacks v Tonga:

George Bridge once seemed so promising. What happened?
Jesus!!! You’re back!!!
I’d have expected a long flowing post, but we’ll take this.
@gt12 What can you say, though? BMW up against a Ford Prefect.

@stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.

And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.

I will think you will find some have always had doubts about him. I know I have.
@crazy-horse Bridge has been fine tonight, hasn’t done anything wrong and a lot of things well.

Yes sorry I didn't make myself clear, Jordie looks about the same 'speed' and has much greater impact.

Dropped passes, bombed two or three trys by just not doing the basics. Can’t beat a man in a game like this is very poor

I think every AB has beaten a player except Bridge....
He beat himself for the first.

That is being fine and doing a lot of thing well... for Bridge

No matter the score in a game like this, can't really take anything from it, good or bad.
You saw the ABs intensity dropped about 20 mins which causes those micro second delays in decision making and then accuracy drops.
