All Blacks vs Pumas II

[sparky]

AB Forwards have done well in this test. The backline has been poor.

[antipodean]

FFS Beaudy what was that?

We seem utterly incapable of getting into their half.

Just as I typed that...

[Machpants]

We do not deserved that try

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Don't do that Vaai. Twunt

[Kirwan]

Backline lost all punch when RI went off.

[Tim]

That was fucking awful from Barrett.

Christie and Blackadder not good enough. Decent Super Rugby players, but not Test match animals.

I think both need time.

Christie is 4th-ranked HB (probably 5th after Fakatava) and Blackadder is a bench player so we’re unlikely to see much of the first, and a bit of the other.

[canefan]

Nice try. Forward skills on display

[Stargazer]

Geez, Christie and Blackadder are rookies. Some are writing them off way too early. Let them learn in games like these.
Blackadder has done many good things in this game, too.

I paid 200 bucks for that?

@tim said in All Blacks vs Pumas II:

@nepia He'll be a good player for Tonga.

Possibly, if he has to have the extra extra stand down.

[chimoaus]

They make it look easy when they hold onto it.

The Last 25-30 minutes have been pretty painful to watch

How old is Christie? He's crap, not going

[sparky]

This will be the ABs best consecutive wins run since 2016.

He's only there because Fakatava is broken, but it's good that he gets some experience in the mean time.

[Bones]

Hell of an effort from Vaa'i to go 80, but the only time I've "seen" him is when he's dotting down. Struggling with if that's a good thing or not.

He's not much of a presence eh.
