A half that was basically the Forwards smashing everything on both sides of the ball, and the play unfolding off that
If I can quibble, we still don't hit on to the ball (except ST). It's all standing start stutter step.
But we haven't allowed Argentina a fucking thing. And if we keep it up it'll get ugly later.
This
The backs still need some work. Some great stuff. Not clearing from 22 when you have heaps of time not so much. Kicking variations yes, but chip kicks from 22 not so much when you can kick it 50m.
Kicking to regain possession seems to be a tactic tonight maybe because it’s wet and hard diffuse those chip kicks.
Against better sides those chip kicks will cost us games. % play is kick it 50 when you have heaps of time.

Maybe we will put them away for those teams maybe it’s a wet night tactic.

We hope so. But a poor kicking game and not clearing is our Achilles heal.

You could put itoje at every line out louder than Smith

Should airways be a tactic, variation helps a lot.
Smith has run more metres tonight than for years

We tried that early but there was some 50/50 bounces.
Maybe we are using the chips to keep going forward in the wet pressure on the chase hard to handle. -
Okay fullas put them away now
-
Avenging a bad loss to Argentina with a thrashing the next week. We should be fine now.....

Prediction, we lose to Ozzie over there, then come back at Eden park.
That's our lot in life I am afraid. Bouncing from good performance to dreadful performance week by week.
This in an improvement. Normally it's one good game followed by 2 shit games. Mind you, it's only half-time....
Game one looked like this, a big, at first half

Yeah, need to maintain this in the 2nd to show progress, for me.

Smith, deadset. Your box kicks suck

Deliberate tactic this week
-
Jordan should play 8
-
How fucking quick is Ardie Savea?
-
Ardie, great chase, but you need to make that tackle so Jordan can get the ball, you slip off, Jordan makes the tackle, and we can't turn over
