All Blacks v Argentina II

[sparky]

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

Hate when Rieko runs that short line

Drops the ball way too often in that scenario

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

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.

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

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

[KiwiMurph]

Wouldn't mind seeing the likes of Numia and Tosi given chances later in the season off of the bench to see what they can add

[Machpants]

Jordan at full back? No thanks he's clueless

[KiwiMurph]

Aumua.....

[sparky]

The bench is still a bit of an issue. The performance dips when it comes on.

[Donsteppa]

Wilson and TJ might be being optimistic here, as always

Dropped off before that

I think Razor made the changes just to give players minutes.

[Machpants]

Head didn't touch, well done ref

And to rest up some guys ahead of the trip to Africa.

Lord certainly needs them

[Machpants]

No head contact at all

You were saying?

[Mattasaurus]

no head contact i believe ... ludicrous decision

[Machpants]

FFS that's arse, he did say no contact first. That is the shittest piece of tmo wank ever

[chimoaus]

At least we now have a blueprint of how to play and not how to play.
