[sparky]

Job done, not brilliant, but job done.

ALB is a better 12 than Jordie and it's not close

I dunno. We missed the boot at many times today. Not ALB's fault Dmac and BB are below standard in that department, but still.

That scoreline feels like it flatters us a bit

I disagree. We pumped them everywhere and maybe we should have won by more

[His Bobness]

The best thing about that AB performance was the defence in the last quarter on their own line. Character, stickability, resilience. Very old fashioned.

Everywhere but defensively. We conceded meters frequently

[nostrildamus]

It must be hard to see much of the tryline when The Mighty Williams and Tosi are standing over it.

73:55 Savea picks it up while diving straight off his feet. Interesting ruck interpretation

[Stag]

I really like Havilis directness at 2nd five, would like to see him and ALB have a crack with Proctor on the bench to cover both positions.

[Frank]

So much power there at the end - Tosi, Williams, Tuipolotu, Aumua, Sititi - and the best thing is they knew it.

I've liked/agreed-with both those opinions. And... not gonna feel guilty about that.

Yeah, definitely should have won by more with better finishing. We shaded the first half but were dominant in the second.

Not such a bad Australian performance though.

They AB’s are going blind far to much when there is massive space on the open.

Respectfully disagree. Especially when Teej was on. Could have gone more.

[nostrildamus]

The Wallabies will beat a few teams, their loosies are very competitive, not sold on their starting tight forwards though.

[Frank]

Sititi to 8, Lakai to 7, and we find a 6

[Jet]

Both of these teams are going to get slapped around on the EOYT.

Referee has been absolutely shit. Defending team only had to look at the ball and he blew a pen against the attackers. He missed so many knock ons, his advantages were all over the place and he even fucked the TMO call when his assistant ref advised him it should have been a penalty against ABs as Taylor clearly played the ball on the ground.

Tosi is a monster, fuck he's good

Sititi, Tosi, Hotham, Darry, Ratima, Proctor didn’t fluff their lines when given their chances.

And our experienced guys stank the place up.

Savea and SB and Taylor (good all year) were ok tonight.

Savea was very average. But I was more talking about TJ, cane, and BB.

Not Savea of old but he had some good carries and I think put in quite a few tackles (haven't seen the stats).

If there is a positive so far this season , some of our younger guys are showing they belong .
