On the positive I enjoyed the game and really looking forward to next week. I am confident the coaches will grow over the season and adapt as they go.
This is the first test and people on here are shitting themselves. I have complete and utter confidence in Razor and his team. in 3 years and 7 years time when we are winning our 4th and 5th world cup all the criticism will be laughed at.
I'm having what your having

A massive cup of Hubris by the looks of it. How embarrassing.

Fucking laughable rankings. Ardie rated higher than Jordie? Marcus Smith a better game than Furbank? What game did this fuckwit Winston Aldworth watch?

At least he got Itoje right. Completely different player now Borthwick's got his head right.

This is really trying to stretch the hate. He’s no Matt Dawson.

PT with 14??? How much of that is gameplan - seems damn lazy otherwise.

Looks like two players from 4-8 are doing most of the heavy lifting. Papalii is limited but he works, while Scooter continues his grunt work. From looking at that, we’ve got the continuing Savea issue, the need for Finau to get more involved across the game, and the case of Pat T who again doesn’t seem to quite bring his work rate to this level.
I feel like the last one is the more pressing issue.
They won’t do anything to address the loose forward issue, and adding Blackadder may make our 75% functioning line out even worse.
I’m prepared to say that we’d likely have gotten roughly the same out of Sotutu in the Ardie role, with the added benefit of a real line out option.

Robertson is a breath of fresh air with the press: open, honest, doesn’t blame others, stands up for his players.

Lol Ardie hasn't played for 2 months, he's only going to get better. Based on the WC final last year we know where Ardie can get to and that's not a ceiling Sotutu can reach IMO.
Dalton needs to do more, if he's meant to be our dominant tackler at seven then simply falling off tackles when the game is on the line isn't good enough. Same goes for Finau. That's why I wouldn't mind seeing Blackadder in the mix next week, whether it be at 6 or 7.

is that a height joke again?

I'd give the same forward pack another go of it at Eden Park. Some times you can do everything right and the game doesn't come to you.

@nzzp said in All Blacks vs England I:
Finau missing by the look of it - confirms the eye test a bit
Worth noting he was only on for 60mins. So would have finished higher on various stats if he kept the same rate up.
Only his second or third test so we shouldn’t expect Kaino mkII straight away. -
Patty T's stats are pretty shit.
Huge difference between him and Scooter.
I hope that is something to do with gameplan and positioning.
Else, he really isn't pulling his weight.@Frank. Dangerous comment. I got ridiculed for observing that without reading the thread. But seriously, me and the folks I watched with were trying to see if he was on the park still in second half. Finau was hitting the ball up until he got injured and I was looking for Patrick or Ardie to follow, but it didn't happen. And I didn't see him hungry at the rucks. He was amazing in super final, so I figured he was just feeling the knee and layoff.

It also shows Scott Barrett is leading from the front. Couldn't ask for any more.

We'd expect any AB captain to lead from the front, TBF.

Unbalanced loosies, slow halfbacks - I don't like it, but as expected.
Rieko being that bad was a surprise, his worst test in some time.
Good scrum. Too many lineouts lost.
Calls to replace McKenzie are retarded. He puts players in space - who else is going to do that? Just get him a decent halfback and some loosies who can create turnover ball so he has more opportunities to do it. Also excellent under the high ball.
Reece good. Perofeta surprisingly good. Telea is what he is. I don't like that style of winger, but he has a good work rate and is good in contact.
Beauden Barrett unsurprisingly poor. Noticeably worse than Perofeta positionally, and straight back to losing the kicking contests and short exits as soon as he came on.
On the loosies. Our 7 is a tackler and ruck cleaner... so he's really just a 6 who is too small. Our 8 is world player of the year, but he's just not very fucking useful. Finau quiet-ish then injured. Pretty mediocre from a country who have always had great strength in the loose, and makes a laughing stock of all the comments on here about how spoilt we were in super rugby for quality loosies.
