Lots of work-ons.
1st one, get rid of the ginger

We were going backwards long before he came on TBF.

I need a scapegoat

I can give you 4 or 5...

When is TAB going to start offering odds on ALB getting a YC

Shorter odds than a Barrett getting one

[Canes4life]

Just kick the ball out and call it a day. Painful watch. Disappointing really.

[Darth Sader]

For me, the cream scoreline can’t hide the fact that the milk is a bit sour

[Canes4life]

That last kick from Jordie sums it up.

Proctor or ALB - an underwhelming selection choice.

At least Proctor did a few good things tonight in amongst the poor things. The problem really lies around the fluidity of our backline. Right now it isn’t functioning which isn’t helping newbies like Proctor settle in to their role.

So clunky.

In comes the PR spin.......

[Steven Harris]

All Blacks channeling Sam Nock and Angus Tavao in that last play

[sparky]

Take the win, flush the dunny and move on.

Newell, Savea, Jordan and Sami T were the pick of the ABs.

Holland was good too. Taylor is reliable as ever.

Christie and ALB were awful.

Beauden Barrett is rocks and diamonds. Proctor is unconvincing. And neither of the wings set the world alight.

Anyway, nice to be Number 1 in the World again. Long may that continue!

[Old Samurai Jack]

Vaai was awesome.

[ACT Crusader]

Before every one gets on the scoreline flatters band wagon, our set piece dominated and when that happens you give yourself every opportunity to score.

All the other dropped ball, poor kicks etc is what kept it close.

Proctor has a lot of upside. Stick with him. A yellow card on D is not the worst offence.

[stodders]

All Black forward pack developing nicely. Plenty of depth there too.

Backline not got past embryonic stage. Really missing Roigard.

[booboo]

Flush that dunny

Always nice to be on the right side of it. Just part of me just feels like that's been AB policy since Hansen first used the phrase.

[African Monkey]

I'm not gonna go in on Christie, enough people do that already, but Anton Lienert Brown. What the fuck was that display.

[sparky]

We're Number 1 in the world, folks.

But there's a lot of improvement needed before we can take on the Boks, the Wallabies and the Grand Slam tour with confidence.

What upside, exactly?

[His Bobness]

Plumber needed for dunny.

We have some issues:

Why do we kick the ball away when you have a penalty advantage?

We clearly had the wood in the forwards but didn’t use it until the last 20.

We have to work on our on our aerial game. Someone has to go up. Someone.

[Darth Sader]

Do we have a coherent game plan? Because it all feels a bit disjointed to me. Some great aspects, but not gelling overall (yet). Amazing we’re no. 1?!! Thanks France C
