Argentina v All Blacks

[Mattasaurus]

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.

[BerniesCorner]

Sco Bo prob needs to start from here on in

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus I think the few passages they have had they made easy inroads into our defence, but was our scramble defence saved 2 tries.

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.

2015 RWC surely?

[Crazy Horse]

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.

My names not Shirley.

But yeah you might well be right.

There's Argentina's problem, no steaks on their snacks table

[Stag]

Lord has been good but not where near Scott Barrett, Cane with 3 tackles, 2 meters gained from 3 runs and no turnovers has had far less impact than the other two loosies.

[Billy Tell]

It’s nice seeing JB run straight and hard. Can’t be overdone but it sets up phase ball very nicely.

[Steve]

Is it fair to say Lord and Cane have a “shoulder” on them in 2023 parlance .

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

They are a bit like the old France , hot and cold ,

Last year they beat us one week , week later lost by 50

[Damo]

I just noticed there is a "moat" around the edge of the field. Perhaps NZ could adopt this in some venues to stop streakers.

Ultimate long game Sir Foz
Respect
Humble pie eaten

A little early for that, I think. First game last year was pretty fucking good too

This.

If you consider the opening charge down, the drop over the line and the save in the corner it could have been different.

Let's not ride rhe highs too high, huh?

I never say no to a ride.

Jeez, Coles has some wheels.

[Stargazer]

Coles running like a back, but that push would have been penalised if the ref hadn't already blown his whistle.

Dumb from him though. If not a knock on that would have been a PT.
