@victor-meldrew That Toomua pass was an absolute hail-mary. Really bad play and telegraphed for an intercept.

I haven't re-watched, but seemed to me Reece, Reiko and Jordan were quite aggressive in rush defence when Oz were attacking the wide channels. Makes you wonder if the coaching team had spotted something last week.

Our kick-off reception was very bad, and high ball reception was poor too. Cannot do that against Boks.

Not those Boks again
By the way are we actually going to get to play these other teams?

Only if we lose to them. If we win it's obviously a different team.

Yes, he just looks like he is meant to be there. Just gets it done.
I guess he will get left in NZ now.

Stay tuned Stan viewers we’ve got half time entertainment with the Sonny Bill comedy show.

I think they have employed Sonny because he suits their stereotypes of Kiwis not being too intelligent and uninteresting

I thought Coles and BB were much better tonight. Despite the scoreboard we had some defensive gaps, score would have been much tighter on a dry paddock and if Rennie didn't play musical chairs with key positions.
I dont know how Jordan can do so many tin-arse flukey plays.
Still don't think Ardie is best at 8 and better off bench as 7 against tiring forward legs.
Smith fantastic player but the workhorse was arguably Whitelock and the best fullback on the paddock was Havili (at key dangerous times he kicked like one). RIoane was keen again but I'm guessing and despite early days a DH-ALB combo >ALB-RI>DH-RI.Why do they still hide RM? He tackled well when required and it must take a toll constantly rearranging the backline to suit.
NB Didn't think SBW said anything especially stupid but not a particularly insightful sports analyst, yet.

I think he's had better games than what he showed today.

@gt12 Coles? Yes but I meant regards 2021. Whoosh. I keep writing Coles and meaning Taylor. Apologies.
-
Deadset, your confidence in those posts made me wonder whether he’d played tonight!
@gt12 I've got a cracking headache. Should have just not posted. But a few players were so improved I could not help it.

Papalii did well to get wide from a collapsing scrum, but completely overran his mark with Smith taking the 8. Left clutching at thin air from a misread.

Yeah nah, he abandoned his prop then mis-read on defence, he had a huge role play in that try.
Made a few pretty ordinary errors tonight I thought
