All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson

[akan004]

The Herald gave Nehe a 7, same as what they gave BFA and had this to say about him.

"Continues to look a weapon with dashing runs on right flank. Glides like a Rolls-Royce Phantom with ball in hand."

[Bones]

@akan004 hah ouch! As in, really slowly?

[Billy Tell]

Just on Frizzell for the last time - all the fern agrees we need options at 6 to replace Kaino. Squire is a reasonable choice, and is generally pretty decent, but even if he is the man, you can't put all your eggs into the Squire basket. So the coaches are obliged to try other options - they lost Vito and Luatua, Fifita didn't fit the bill, and they were probably going to give the luckless Taufua a shot. Frizzell seems worth an investment, and his game today was probably a 7/10. He certainly has the physical attributes for 6 anyway, although not sure yet if he is genuine lineout option. In any case, coaches seem damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Ok. How do you pronounce the name of the latest NZ sub?

Triple-T ?

Racist.

[MajorPom]

Argies taking a lot of praise.

Pretty exciting back 3 they have, but scoreline snd game plan broadly similar to last years fixture

[Bones]

@majorrage I'm really liking their game, they've added an extra little bit on defence and have obviously worked on decision making. It'll take them far if they stick with it.

I just hope they keep it up against Aus instead of the typical poo performance.

[Hooroo]

DMac gives me wood. One of the first names down on the 23.

Fritz was excellent

But Goodhue, wow. Him and ALB for the next two world cups easily

Have we heard about Brodie yet? How long is he out for?

Forgot to mention the great cameo by Ta-who-ree-oh-rung-ee. Was brilliant, a very nice blend of Smith and Perenara.

Have they sacrificed a traditional strength though?

What cliche will TJ have now?

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer tackle stats are a bit mis leading, Naholo was out of position a couple of times on Argie breaks, and others tracking back to cover missed tackles that he should have been there to make (or miss)

Sure I saw Frizzell miss one too

Agreed.

@hooroo haaaaa the Fritzel blindside.

That's a whole other story bro.

I haven't watched a minute of it, but

Giving up that many points at home is unacceptable.

That doesn’t take into account the opposition, the Argies were good for the points they scored. Best wingers on the field we’re not wearing black.

Cheers. Is it worth the replay?

While probably not outstanding ,

I enjoyed this game , and i think part of that was watching the Argies throw something at us a bit different .

@paekakboyz said in All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson:

Fuck imagine their wingers on the end of an AB backline. Instant chubby and a metric shit-ton of tries. Some of the best attacking rugby I've seen against the abs of late.

I got a pants tent when watching the wingers try where he stepped three abs .
