Best game I ever watched from Frizell. Lord very good too. Nice to see the AB forwards competing at each lineout. Scott Barrett has become one of the most important players in the AB pack.
Captain next year imo

For what it's worth, Mrs Meldrew, who knows about such things (bugger all about rugby, mind), thinks she's noticed a change in body language from when she saw them last year. Little talking amongst themselves, focussed attitude and minimal emotion. "They look very controlled and together"

I would argue Barrett is almost best player from the country at moment. By geez I enjoying this game so far.

Credit where credit is due. Absolutely wonderful from Ian Foster and his men. Black Magic! I didn’t think they had it in them. More please!
Early days, mate. Been here before in the 1st game of the season but they do look much more like a proper team.
Just hope we continue in the same vein in the 2nd half.

Great half!
All Blacks all in black boots which is a change from past few years.
Sounds like a pub quiz. In which year did the entire ABs team wear black boots?
Reckon it’d be the 90s.
-
Can’t argue that NZ came to play
And thoroughly deserve this thumping
But this is the worst Argentinian team I’ve seen in some time
-
Probably fair to say we haven't been tested well on defense yet - but what defense has been required has been executed well. Good numbers to the break downs on defense and attack is very pleasing.
-
Sco Bo prob needs to start from here on in
-
@Mattasaurus I think the few passages they have had they made easy inroads into our defence, but was our scramble defence saved 2 tries.

2015 RWC surely?

I think our midfield is going well. Both running hard and straight, and often when Jordie is doing it RI is on his shoulder. I like to see that.

Credit goes to Ryan I suggest, one of the best forward performances in awhile, and without BBBR and Whitelock.
It's across the board - so far. Backline has been way more incisive and the attitude/headspace thin is way improved.
Early, early days though. Be delighted if we don't fade like we did at times last year.

But yeah you might well be right.
