All Blacks vs England 2

@Kirwan yeah the stats can be so misleading if you don't know what the player was meant to be doing. Example from last weekend is Pat T was used as a ball runner as he's so effective at that, which means he will always hit less rucks, as if he's at the bottom of a ruck he won't be available to take the ball. SB and Dalts clearly had a direction to smash into every ruck they could to free up the likes of Pat T to perform other roles.

Beauden Barrett to 15, Perofeta on the bench
Ugh not good sauce, perofeta deserves another shot

would be annoying if true, perofeta had the kind of game that he could have built on, no howlers, couple of very tidy moments

Phew - coming from you, that means Perofeta is guaranteed to start at 15 again

I'd prefer it if there wasn't a visible shot clock. The kickers have plenty of time
The reason you need a clock is because you are time wasting. You are either trying to prevent a kickoff, use up time during a card, or burn time at the end of the match because you are in front. All negative time wasting
Kiwis get all hot about time wasting in other areas of the game but not this one
Also, fans should criticise their player when they fuck up not the officials. It shouldn't be their job to hand hold you during time wasting. At most a ref should say "Hurry up"

The ref warned DMac. He seems to just ignore. Maybe with a shot clock a team mate could stand close by and tell him to hurry TFU

Wrong headline. Should read "Robertson to recall Richie McCaw and Ma'a Nonu to counter threat of Toby Flood"

Think we might see a new cap, but no spectacular changes. Ratima if TJP is not right and Proctor.
Hopefully we'll see at least one new tactic as well.

Ryan is being let go.
His waistline was clearly last year...

Another huge game this weekend. Will fortress Eden Park withstand.
Will Razor and Co adapt.
Loosies need to up their game. -

We adapted in the 2nd half to negate the rush defence. It wasn’t pretty but it was good to see a change in tactics and to do what’s necessary to win the game.
Feels like we hadn’t seen that for a while.
England will bring that heat again and I have no doubt we will have a plan to be able to beat it. It’s whether we can execute that plan is the million dollar question.
Let’s see how good super coach is at adapting to a side for a second match. It’s fairly new territory for him to have the opportunity to play the same side a week later
