@Gunner that's why, you might disagree, but having guys not playing makes them annoyed/doubt themselves/think the coaches don't rate them etc. Talking to coaches that's what I've been told

theyve had guys sit on the becnh for 80 in other games this year...must be a game plan thing

@Kirwan that’s a point of view. Another would be that after 40 minutes Parsons starts walking. Any one would be better off the bench.

I ain’t arguing, just saying that they are picking the better thrower for an important set piece. Moulds has had years to improve and three coaches to impress.

He's surely taking the piss with finally calling a not straight, and on that
Black has been good Mehrts? Really?

"distributed well" - clearly that doesn't refer to his passing

@taniwharugby sure it's going to happen some times, but is the norm for everyone to get a go. So leaving a player in the bench is not ideal, even if he only gets a couple of minutes

Could be true, but by that stage I’d already be thinking ‘fuck you’, a couple of measly minutes wouldn’t change that

Very very happy with that.
Bonus point W.
Blues defence was awesome - hats off to Tana as defence coach.
Akira made errors but by fuck did he stand up against a big Saffa pack.
Tuipulotu - cripes he was good.

One of the most accurate games I’ve seen from Patrick.

@Kirwan Parsons is a better lineout thrower (don’t disagree) but he is also a slug around the field. Why have a bench and not use it? Especially when hooker is such an energy sapping position. The selection of players both for the squad and match day have been issues for years.

Our bench is really making a mark in games now, the second half injection of three All Blacks is working well. Four I guess if you include Pulu.

@Gunner could be, but I'd rather have a run than not, personally
I would've been pissed off at going on for 2 minutes for anything other than injury. I'd see it as more of a fuck you from the coach.

Blues looked to be enjoying fucking people up on D which was the best part of the match for me. Pat T's 52nd minute annihilation of Bruno Elizabeth was just fucking sumptuous.
plenty of workons though, ruck ball retention especially. Blues were living off scraps due to fuckups mainly from there for the entire match.
ps Alan Parsons can fuck off and take his fucken Project with him.
Banned!
