All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II

It was Ofa that lifted the Aussie tighthead in the scrums, wasn't it? Had a big influence!

@Bones I’d be having a quiet word with Perofeta too if I was Fozzie…

I'm not going to judge a ten outside that abysmal halfback performance.
I would've said Jordan is a really good wing and an average fullback, Faingaanuku doesn't offer anything more than Clarke so can go bye - but again tough to judge when the halfback takes so long to distribute, if he even makes it to the breakdown.

Lol Leicester was all over the place making impact, he should be in over Clarke. But hard to judge DMac cos of Christie. But his kicking was utter wank

Replacement front row and replacement 9 & 10 won us the game
how many chances does Laulala get?

ALB was just ok. He is a stepper rather than someone that takes contact looking for soft shoulder.

That has been the issue having him and Havs, they both step too much. Ennor was actually a lot more direct. And that is way JB has had such an impact, he just breaks the gainline when he carries.

Think about the French and the Irish when picturing an Allblack player in a position.
Aldritt, Danty, Doris, Van der Flier, et al. These lads are big lumps.
Can you picture Finlay Christie against Antoine Du Pont for example?
Tupo Vaii against James Ryan or Tadhg Byrne?
-
Just putting it out there but if we finish the season unbeaten and win the WC we would also get the record for consecutive wins at 19 I think.
Edit: forgot about the stupid draw with England. -
@chimoaus Forgot the draw vs England last year? Or rather actively erased the last 15 minutes?

Couldn't disagree more regarding Faingaanuku .... unless you want him to make a break and full over a bit more?

ALB and Goodhue were a problem in 2019 for this exact reason. Followed by a few years of Havili.
At the moment its Jordie or nothing. The big boys up north will eat up all the other candidates.
