    @Kirwan we also don't have enough speed in the backs. One of Narawa or Clarke needs to start

    Clarke will make a difference for the carries, and yes his speed is useful.

    Telea was rocks and diamonds tonight. And Reece was poor on defence, got skinned badly. Could toss a coin who to swap out

      Not sure why Ioane is being criticized. Defended well, and consistently got over the advantage line from shit ball.

      The calls constantly come from people who have no idea how a centre should play. Dollars to donuts if he'd taken other options every time they complained they'd bitch about the predictable outcome too. Case in point when he made the good decision to hold the ball rather than shovel it to marked players in worse positions.

        Given the apparent ease at which our wings were skinned on the outside maybe we should select a world-class winger with genuine pace. Pity we have him playing at 13.

          Never in doubt bro.

          These are the moments that could make or break this team because it was so close and yet a few key moments built on getting some field position.

          I enjoyed that.

                Biggest concern is our inability to control half way. Our exits and ability to get into the opposition half has been a weakness for all ABs teams of recent years.

                    Heading off on a tangent ...

                    ... but does Alex Mitchell have the most broken nose in rugby?

                          What’s up with Christie? Just doesn’t have the game understanding? Lack of combo with Dmac? It was honestly bizarre how static the ball was. Almost like an American Football play.

                          He doesn't sum up his options on the way to each ruck, takes too long to make up his mind, throws a laboured pass to a player that can't do anything but stand still waiting for it.

                          It's fucking astonishing he's an All Black.

                              It's just who he is. He's not a player who has fast service or an accurate pass.

                              He is a good defender and a good kicker

                                        Ratima should start at 9 until Roigard's fit again.

                                        6 is an issue if they are not willing to pick Akira.

                                          Not sure why Ioane is being criticized. Defended well, and consistently got over the advantage line from shit ball.

                                          The calls constantly come from people who have no idea how a centre should play. Dollars to donuts if he'd taken other options every time they complained they'd bitch about the predictable outcome too. Case in point when he made the good decision to hold the ball rather than shovel it to marked players in worse positions.

                                          I thought his defence was outstanding.

                                          Great, the modern day Justin Marshall. Pity the rest of the team has the skill to burn other teams when we can play with pace. If defence is what we want in that position, get another loose forward on.
