RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina

@Machpants I'd prefer to have ST, he takes it straight up the middle when we need it and doesn't disappear off seagulling on the wing glory hunting. Coles is still good but if ST can keep up his throwing he has to stay on.

LOL glory hunting, dude 2s and 8s have been positioned on the wing by every team for the last 10 or so years. It is what they do now, in part due to Coles effectiveness there.

@Machpants not what you want in the last ten minutes of a WCF mate. When he comes on we need someone to make the hard yards up the park.

@chimoaus do we ever have passion in our anthems?

We do before World Cup finals:

I guess we'll see what Fozzy's preference is later in the week, they both bring different things. Coles is a massive penalty magnet as well and has a reputation for niggle. We've done well so far eliminating most of that.
@LagerLout reading that post I thought I'd time travelled back to last decade. Got any stats on Coles' penalties in tests in recent years that shows the issue?
-
No, have you? However I do have eyes. The guy is constantly operating on the edge, if you can't see that, I can't help you. I like Coles but he is ten years outside his best and operating in the last decade when it comes to understanding the current set of referees.

@LagerLout my bad, didn't know standing on the edge was a penalty.

Hmm, I dunno man - I feel like he’s found the balance lately. Good mix of playing with an edge but not doing the real dickhead stuff.
But I’m still torn between him and Sami given we have just the one game left

I really like the consistency and calmness of the front row when Lomax plays. And De Groot. While they keep winning I leave it to the coaches as to hooker. So lucky we have 3 v good v different styles of hooker.
Big shout out to the 4 young props. They have handled the last couple of weeks with aplomb. All 4 have played their part. Our scrum has been a different animal, hungry, mean, and balanced too. EDG and Lomax keep building their stocks and will only get better.
Williams is a fucking beast. His first scrum he just ate that tighthead

Well done NZ
Did what we couldn’t do - gift Argentina point scoring opportunities
Stadium is wonderful
Getting in and out was a joke
Cardiff really is the greatest rugby stadium in the world
We’re spoiledNZ were very good against a poor Argentina team
Atmosphere was very flat
Hopefully tonight will be better in terms of competition and atmosphere
Jordan’s final try was a joy to behold

I prefer stade de France to Cardiff I have to say. But it IS a bit of a chore to get in and out.

Jeez there's some sour comments from Irish fans about Argentina in some of those responses
