@Kiwiwomble true but our problems in general are at 6 and 8 where her plays, and also with the head coach.

I thought most of the backline was a much bigger weakness than the loosies, frizell had more tackles than cane at half time

Because they were all out of position

[Stag]

Cane was fantastic as a player and average as a captain

Not arguing with that

Stats

Best tacklers

Tackles - missed tackles
Sam Cane 25 - 0
Joe Moody 16 - 0
Jack Goodhue 15 - 1
Sam Whitelock 15 - 1
Shannon Frizell 15 - 2

Ofa 14 - 4 (most missed tackles)

Ofa doesn't surprise me. To the naked eye he's trying to smash every tackle he makes, meaning he's missing a few. Needs to pick his moments rather than always look for thr big shot

Look at that Sam cane coloured egg all over shark's face

Stats

Possession - territory
All Blacks 39 % - 39 %
Wallabies 61 % - 61 %

@Kiwiwomble tackle count means nothing. Dominant tackles where you stop people in their tracks Is what we need. We never talked about Kaino’s tackle count. It was the impact of the tackles.

@Stag Savea sure isn't an 8, and it showed alright! His defence was chop.

I liked when he got owned by white

I'm looking forward to some great comments about how super coach Rueben Thorne doesn't rate Akira Ioane.

[Stag]

@mariner4life Cane was fantastic as a player, probably the best on the field, very average as a captain

[Chris B.]

So.....We're basically fucked.

Our coaches are shit and we've only got about two players who are up to playing in tests.

Luckily we can call up Flash Jordan....AAAAH..AAAH ....King of the Impossible!

I'm an omelette, canes stopped us losing, savea did some good stuff, but was mostly anon. The difference between ABs canes and chiefs canes is greater than canes nonu Vs abs nonu!

[Kirwan]

So who would have though James Fucking O’Conner would have completely outplayed an All Black ten?

if they picked my team they would win by 40

[Tim]

@Chris-B You should keep making the same posts as the last few years when we've continued to be shit.

[broughie]

@Chris-B still need a forward pack.

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Yeah, Mo'unga can go back to bullying Mitre 10 Cup and Super Rugby sides.

[ACT Crusader]

Congratulations Fozzie. You did something Henry or Hansen didn’t achieve and that is lose the first Bledisloe match against a new Wallabies coach.

Slow starters, new combos, inexperienced backline, silver linings, hope, the draw we needed to have

the new mature James O'Connor is actually producing on his never doubted talent
