    He also stood and watched a lot.

    He's done that an awful lot this season. He cherry picks his moments. It's frustrating.

    He's no Hugh Renton.

    To be fair are there any premier ABs that look like they're giving SR everything?

      @KiwiMurph
      Many All Blacks are currently very average (JB, RM, RI, AS, Ofa T, Laulala, Taylor, Frizell, just to name a few). Are they programmed to be at the peak of their form in October ?

        With BB I think so, guarding himself. Question is, will he/they find their peak if picked for RWC?

          @cgrant Ioane had a blinder against the Drua, which is a tough match in Fiji. Tu'ungufasi was very good too.

            No other sport in the world is cool with its best players being shit all season based on some mythical "peaking for October"

            Maybe, maybe the NBA. But they play 82 games and even then fans will kick the fuck off.

            But we've been gaslight by rugby to just accept our best players aren't actually the best players because they are resting for something else.

            It's fucking ridiculous.

              Tough watch from a Canes fan
              Just a messy game for us, we really lack some game control. Our 10/12 is just not cutting it. Is it about time to look at a different 12? JB is not cutting it. And we really lack quality wingers.

              Happy for the FD fans, what a party atmosphere for them.

                Part of it because I wouldn't give the slightest of fucks if NZ SR teams lost every single game against foreign teams and played out every NZ Derby to a nil all draw, if the all blacks won every game by a landslide. I enjoy and support SR teams, but don't care with my heart and soul like I do the abs

                    Actually I would suggest you don't watch Golf, running (marathons etc) Cycling etc etc , there are a lot of sports that particapints actually aim at certain events.
                    though take your point etc ,it frustrating, just playing devil's advocate and thinking you using a bit of a broad statement when you say NO sports. Even team sports there a lot where teams save players for bigger games., use lesser games as trials, or for resting players.

                      Moana Pasika say thanks, don't mind if I do.

                      I understand Force beat a NZ team recently.

                      And losing to the Sith isn't that shameful.
