I was 100% sure we were going to lose that

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.

The loosies are a mess. Dalton fucking good tonight. Finau in this state is worthless. Problem is he's the only fucking tall loosie we picked so yeah, fuck the lineout I guess. They're not important anyway aye?
Out of this squad I would go for Vaa’i at 6

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

He's too slow. And thrn we don't have a lock either. The squad selection is sort of all over the place

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.

@BerniesCorner
Ratima should start at 9 until Roigard's fit again.6 is an issue if they are not willing to pick Akira.

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.

Lol - he's a halfback.

Aumua Newell stepped up. Vaai yelling after scrum win. Awesome

Don't underetimate Vaa'i's work in that scrum either. AB scrum never suffers when he there either. (spoken/wriiten by an ex-lock of course)
But all 3 Barrett boys were bloody good. Jordie is the glue at 12 I reckon.

If you watch the very first phase play we got in second half. We have ball on half way. They do an out the back play to a static forward that goes backwards. They then pass further back to Dmac who clears from just outside the 22 and England get ball back around half way.
This is the one of the biggest problem we need to fix.
