saffas were rushing up so fast. Very hard to spin the ball out when they were already up on our lin
They've always done that. It's nothing new. We're talking about a 2 time nominee for world player of the year here right? The guy that's supposed to lead the team around the park and put it all into place. He can't even do the bread and butter at the moment.
Our game is still trapped in 2019. We failed to realise how we were beaten then, the ABs and by extension SR teams have not evolved enough
Agree wholeheartedly. That's also a vastly different conversation than proposing BB as a shining light.

I don't disagree he wasn't great. He's just one problem in a team full of problems. But our tactics are not helping

@canefan it's the motm thread.
The discontent is spilling over onto multiple threads. ABs misery is great business for the forum

…..and talk back radio, I have TWO trips to the tip scheduled today. The whinging and teeth gnashing should be sensational.

Cane played with constant strength and application all game. Lineout was great so Scott Barrett and Whitelock also for me. Taukeiaho was great. Taavao was good. Christie added a lot off the bench as did Mounga. Our back 3 were pretty awful. Missing high balls and being bundled into touch or miskicking into touch. I wish Reece was there!

Sorry, late to the thread and missed the game. Did the ABs win ?

Best performance wasn’t it ? Considering they did OK against Ireland first up I’m assuming they beat the Boks by 15-20. Sweet. Good old Foster !

Well Foster praised the Boks and yes he said best AB team performance so A+ and A+ make A++

BB is playing as well as he can with the ball (when we have it) that he gets.
He's not. I've lost count of the number of times he's held the ball and taken a tackle when all it needed was a quick flick on. It's frustrating as fuck. I expect a lot more from him than one awkward break per game. I don't think I'm expecting too much.

You aren't expecting too much. 2022 BB is simply an average 10 in an average team.

Tell me I'm wrong but BB plays best when he plays like a 15. At 10 he doesn't seem to know what to with the ball unless it's a questionable kick, a hospital pass or (less and less these days) a linebreak.
But I do think his defence is underrated. -
I picked ST, SBarrett, and Clarke.
None of them stood out in the game
-
Interesting to see the love for SB. Apart from the lineouts his stats aren't great. You know we're in trouble if Whitelock makes more metres with the ball than Barrett.

@Bones he only made 11 passes for the whole game. For a 1st 5 that is very low. He’s down on form but more concerning he looks down on confidence.
@ACT-Crusader oh hell yes, even looks like he's running in treacle at times. Those little pops in the tackle are his bread and butter,yet he's just not serving up the sandwiches.
-
Late to the party, but just finished watching it.
ST - one of the few physical forwards
CC - solid defensively, good on attack, reasonable workrate
AS - energiser bunny. Still want to see him come on with 30 to go, but that needs a balanced loose forward trio -

It's been the same every match this year, clearly there's something about the way he plods around that the Fern loves, that is never reflected in the stats.
