All Blacks v Argentina II

[sparky]

The starting pack started very well indeed this evening.

[Donsteppa]

Lousy lineout option

[Machpants]

Ofa it's a donkey

[Mattasaurus]

that lineout option was a waste of good ball

[sparky]

ABs' tackling still at 93% which is excellent.

I wonder if it was coached.

[KiwiMurph]

Hate when Rieko runs that short line

Drops the ball way too often in that scenario

[sparky]

Reiko and Telea looking a bit off it.

[Machpants]

The last ruck was so illegal, but good try

[Stag]

40 good minutes and then straight back to last weeks bollocks for the second half, driven by extremely poor decision making and implemtation.

[kev]

2nd half full of shitty options by the backs and penalties from forwards.

[Donsteppa]

7 all in the second half so far?

Ball needs to be given earlier so he's not in contact as he's trying to catch.

[Frank]

Rieko's defensive work is excellent.
Passing is dog shit -especially for a 13.
Might be time for the Canes midfield combo.
Or ALB at 12 and Proctor at 13.

[Nepia]

Maybe best to stagger the subs next match, too many at once seemed to upset the balance of the team.

[sparky]

Argentina deserved that one. It's been a very even second half.

I think he also needs to run a different line. He doesn't adjust and look for mini bits of space with his running lines.

Same fundamental errors from last week. Isolated runners, penalties, poor lineout option. All lead to putting pressure on ourselves.

Much more even than half 1, but I thought ABs played more quality rugby.

[Machpants]

Yeah, this half had been crap. I'd rather we keep playing rather than spread the experience
