All Blacks vs Fiji
-
That game reaffirmed that no matter how good Frizzell is at super, unfortunately international rugby is beyond him.

Really enjoyed this contest ,seeing another repeat of last week would have done nothing for anyone..
Fiji really bought it physically showing the benefits of many of their forwards especially playing in France and Europe in general but I suspect being stuck in isolation and lack preparation finally told especially in and around breakdown accuracy and discipline..All Blacks looked better when both Whitelock and Coles were on the field ..but in terms of consistency I thought Ethan Blackadder playing in the unfamiliar jersey was very solid ..biggest disappointments to me where Sotutu,Tuipulotu and Frizzell..@steven-harris said in All Blacks vs Fiji:

Also thought Taylor lacked accuracy and the starting two props looked lost out there too.

@taniwharugby Yup, Test level is a far tougher, tighter style of footy. Doesn't matter how well you go at the level below, you're either made for test level or you're not, and Frizell is not.

@tim these players arent shit all of a sudden, sure they are all older, that should make them tougher, smarter, not softer.
Have to think something is just not clicking

@stargazer He should be having next week off then
-
@stargazer laughable that was missed.
-
@stargazer what the hell is the point of having a framework when you ignore it.
Honestly.
Ash Dixon in the SRTT final, and this. It's just insane - World Rugby appear to have given up on protecting the head.

Once again the lack of go forward up the middle was an issue. In fact, Fiji won that battle. It is a feature of "Foster teams" from the hapless Chiefs to the ABs since he has been involved. You saw Rennie's Wobs take a different tack and attack up the middle against the French to some effect. It was the Blackadder-coached Crusader's problem as well.

@stargazer I wont click into the twitter feed, but most will probably say it is ok and Kiwi thugs deserved it....
shame if the Fijians lose him, which they should.
