RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia
-
Best three on the park were Roigard, Lester and Dmac
Worst were Ofa, Laulaula and Clarke
@Canes4life Dmac was bi-polar in that game, back to his headless worst in the final 15 or so, otherwise very good

@gt12 Three awful games in a row.
Our props, overall, are a long way away from being a WC group.
EDG has the skill but lacks brains and consistency, Newell and Williams aren’t ready, Ofa and Laulala are defensive liabilities.
None of them can really carry for shit.

The inconsistencies around red cards is appalling. A real blight on the game.
Roigard x1000 better than Christie.
@Gunner theres a few back in NZ that are way better than Christie , possibly one of the poorest selections for a RWC squad

EDG seems to be an absolute meathead.
How is that a meathead? You are committed to a tackle, then the guy gets tackled to change height. It isn't even a shoulder direct to the head, it is a glancing blow and inadvertent. Nothing he could do there, really.

Jesus. Seriously? Where was the attempt to wrap?

Yeah it’s our Achilles heel.

LF, Cam, and Dmac the best.
LF lacks pace but boy the lad creates and is busy. -

He simply shouldn't have gone so high. Stupid play.

@Tim said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
@Duluth Very dumb to go into a tackle like that in one of these games.
Guy is addicted to giving away penalties.
Exactly. Regardless of what card it is or if there is a suspension that was some low IQ shit

Unbelievably stupid thing to do 60 points up.

His arm was not tucked, appeared ready to wrap, but knocked away from a wrap by the impact of tackled players arm. So does that make it a tackle or shoulder charge, cos the was no wrap.
But all we talk about is the card sadly

Get lower and not lead with a shoulder across his body? Even his technique was shit. The sooner Mcleod is sacked, the better.

Shame we are talking about a red card. We should be talking about how good Cam Roigard was. De Groot you dick.

….and I look at a guy like Ofa and don’t know why. He looks like he should be able to run through brick walls.

Isn’t Razor planning to keep Stormy as part of the AB set-up next year?
