Good win!!! Under the pump and the bench changes it. Vaai is the guy. BBarrett is not dead yet, ratima showed what we can look like with quick ball.
The loosies are a mess. Dalton fucking good tonight. Finau in this state is worthless. Problem is he's the only fucking tall loosie we picked so yeah, fuck the lineout I guess. They're not important anyway aye?
Huge work ons everywhere. Backline is disjointed at first phase and open field. Defense still so passive!!
Still, great win over a good side. 2-0 is a nice result

Just don’t let him anywhere near Smith

@Kirwan we also don't have enough speed in the backs. One of Narawa or Clarke needs to start

Clarke will make a difference for the carries, and yes his speed is useful.
Telea was rocks and diamonds tonight. And Reece was poor on defence, got skinned badly. Could toss a coin who to swap out

Not sure why Ioane is being criticized. Defended well, and consistently got over the advantage line from shit ball.

The calls constantly come from people who have no idea how a centre should play. Dollars to donuts if he'd taken other options every time they complained they'd bitch about the predictable outcome too. Case in point when he made the good decision to hold the ball rather than shovel it to marked players in worse positions.

Given the apparent ease at which our wings were skinned on the outside maybe we should select a world-class winger with genuine pace. Pity we have him playing at 13.

I was 100% sure we were going to lose that

Never in doubt bro.
These are the moments that could make or break this team because it was so close and yet a few key moments built on getting some field position.
I enjoyed that.

What’s up with Christie? Just doesn’t have the game understanding? Lack of combo with Dmac? It was honestly bizarre how static the ball was. Almost like an American Football play.

He doesn't sum up his options on the way to each ruck, takes too long to make up his mind, throws a laboured pass to a player that can't do anything but stand still waiting for it.
It's fucking astonishing he's an All Black.

It's just who he is. He's not a player who has fast service or an accurate pass.
He is a good defender and a good kicker

He's too slow. And thrn we don't have a lock either. The squad selection is sort of all over the place

I thought his defence was outstanding.
