All Blacks vs Scotland

Bones

If you think that Lienert-Brown is a better centre than Rieko Ioane, then you are probably posting from prison, because your IQ is under 90.

I have no idea where you've plucked that idea from. You that pished you're inventing arguments fella?

Love having Laulala there for his amazing scrummaging.

Yep another one that should fuck off !!!

Tim

@Bones He is having a shocker, and the defensive positioning in midfield has been awful.

FFS Scotland

Dumb, dumb, dumb

That was the moment

Great by Ardie

Sco 17-14 NZ
Halftime

Victor Meldrew

Some amazing goal line defence again.

How much worse could this year have gone without Ardie…

Great stuff from Ardie at the breakdown to bail the team out.

Better discipline, tough words needed at the breather & a couple of changes.

ACT Crusader

Ardie on his feet, but clearly lying on bodies.

I guess this ref is consistent

There's been some suspicious looking neck rolls and our forwards are playing their hearts out but I don't want to see BB at 10 again. He's lost his attacking moxy.

Tim

Pure chaos, no pattern on defense, no direction on attack. Christie should never start as halfback. Awful.

nostrildamus

would you put TJP on though?

I think many of us were just hoping he'd be a capable backup for Rieko. It's not really looking like it eh, but fuck, who else?

I know that this is like a fucking broken record but when will the NZRFU realize that Foster is just not the man for the job? I honestly thought with Jo Smit and Ryan there things would start to change but it all start from the top. The last 22 minutes of that half was just embarrassing.

The Irish commentator I've got is an annoying, one-eyed motherfucker. Hate how ALB has regressed, he used to be very good

KiwiMurph

Halftime thoughts.

Havili doesn't even want the backup 12 shirt it seems

ALB's reputation was greatly enhanced by not playing for a year.

Christie isn't a starter which is a huge problem.

Telea looks great.

McLeod owes Savea his job.

Papalii and Savea seem to work really well together.

I think DP helps keep Akira focussed as well. Looks like a natural leader. Also what defensive strength he has!

Speaking of defensive strength from the other end of the spectrum I love how Laulala demands to take the ball up and invariably gets about the width of a shoelace forward before he drops into the pitch. What consistency he has.

ALB needs to prove himself at a lower level, been away too long.
