Ha ha. Montera didn’t shake Coles hand. He just gave another shove.

Yeah, he should be cited for his head butt, then whacking him after the game, rather than shaking his hand. What a fluffybunny


Snigger, entity too large

I haven't read the comments yet but this game was an example of how a ref's interpretation of the breakdown can have such an impact. So different to last week.

Anyway, rapt for Cane to put in a performance like that.

I think we really suffer when we have long period without being exposed to NH refs.

Another big difference is the backs did appear to have more structure and clarity with possession. Not as much side to side single runners. They played the conditions much better and made plenty of metres. I'm hoping this is Schmidts doing, he did seem like the cat that got the cream in the box.

I think the forwards delivered the space with constant go forward plus a better kicking game. Suddenly you have players like Reiko able to use his pace running at gaps.

[booboo]

Will take that.

ABs played desperate.

Need to do that every week coz every fluffybunny is coming at us at 10 Thousand Million miles an hour.

We have to go back at them harder.

We did.

Am happy... this week

Pumas looked like they were still in meat coma after last week’s celebratory BBQ.

Sobering up overnight and will read the thread in the a.m.

Jordan can go. Taukieaho and Savea immense.

I liked De Groot too!

Good thing they didn’t change the tram from last week.

Played extremely well, but still has sloppy moments. Probably got away with a couple of flops over the ruck.

ok but I also liked his and Sami's support work.

Jordan did some bloody good kick chase work.

I wouldn't be dropping him unlike some others. He was more involved this week and just looks like he's a step/ bounce away from doing that ridiculous shit we love him for.

Whaaaat? He got absolutely blitzed by Ardie on one, most of the rest he jogged up and put about zero pressure on. I'm a bit shocked to see someone praise him for that!

[Bovidae]

I'm still not completely sold on Lomax, but the alternatives are even worse (and old). He isn't very effective taking the ball into contact and is far too upright.

[reprobate]

Samisoni is unreal: the more consistently outstanding he is week after week the more absurd the decision to drop him from the Irish decider looks. De Groot and Lomax keep improving too.
Whitelock good again, and Frizzel is making the team better, he helps the balance of the loosies with Savea at 8. Cane remains a very good tackler, and suits a wet game.
Aaron Smith good.
Mounga flakey as fuck, but he's still our best option and I really think it is how he has been told to play. Our short kicking tactic will continue to cost us against better sides. It was a relative success, but we still turned the ball over heaps with those kicks, and only won a couple back. Only one was a really good kick. Fortunately the Argies would then just knock it on, and despite our casual attitude to possession we ended up with heaps of it because of their error count (a lot forced by our good defence).

Good fun game to watch in shit conditions, but I do reckon that next close game we'll still be doing dumb stuff and it'll cost us.

That is how you are supposed to slap Nic White
