All Blacks vs Pumas II

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.

That was fucking awful from Barrett.
I paid 200 bucks for that?

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.@stargazer said in All Blacks vs Pumas II:

FFS Beaudy what was that?
We seem utterly incapable of getting into their half.
Just as I typed that...

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

Is sotutu hurt?
Yeah looked like he stayed down eh.
Tupaea is gassed. Get him off.
I thought he had a great game today
Tupaea? Yeah great game for a kid in midfield. But he's absolutely spent now and that's where all the holes are (before the pen he only nearly got the spilled ball because he was too exhausted to track back). Test rugby is a bit tougher eh...

Yep, agree, looks to have real class though. And he's spent because he's worked really hard, some of his clean outs in the first half were great. And he hasn't stopped trying

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.

Can't say I've noticed him carrying much. Seems to be used as support.
