Jeez fellas. Where the fuck do we go from here?

We are in trouble and could lose every RC game from here on unless we make changes.

What exactly should those changes be?

They’re just so mentally weak

Nah.

We got outplayed. Happens in sport.

[Tordah]

Don't think I've seen a worse performance under the high ball since sliced bread, which was a pretty bad catcher.

[Canes4life]

At what point does SBarrett’s position come under fire?

[jimmyb]

@No-Quarter said in All Blacks v Argentina II:

Also, SBarret is not an AB captains asshole. Should never have made him captain when it wasn't even clear he was the best lock in the country. Stupid decision.

Who’s the captain then? It’s definitely not Savea. He doesn’t have the leadership skills either

We didn’t play anywhere near our potential today

[mencey]

Absolutely pathetic. After that we may be getting the wooden spoon. I never want to C some of these players near the AB's again.

[KiwiMurph]

I wonder if super coach will ever get heat from the media?

Never seen a coach with better PR

I don’t know. Henry completely changed his back 3 because of high ball weakness. But ABs look v vulnerable under the contestable high ball and the Boks will be licking their lips on that.

Why shouldn’t it be Savea? Some of our best performances under Razor have been when Ardie’s been skip.

Gee I wonder what the Boks will do vs us.

Where's Clarke at? He is good under the high ball.

Meanwhile we cross live to Hamilton and Sunday morning brunch at Ian Foster’s home.

Yellow cards killed the ABs today. And the 2 in the 1st half were low IQ plays, especially when TMOs are as invasive as they are nowadays.

Why isn’t it Savea? Some of our best performances under Razor have been when Ardie’s been skip.

The rot in this team has been around for a while and Savea is part of it. Someone relatively new would be nice

[LagerLout]

******* pissed off. Worst Ab's performance in the last 30 years. Couldn't catch a cold. Just pathetic.

Did you not watch Super Rugby this year. Ardie single handedly turned Moana into a proper team.

[BerniesCorner]

SB good player, good man but not suited to captaincy.
Savea should be captain

Yes, one season of over zealous passion doesn’t equate to international leadership skills

Yet he was the best lock in the country when the decision was made. He had surpassed Retallick and Whitelock as the first choice lock in the 2023 season. 2024 he is selected as captain.

Sure, question some of the decision making on the field, but let’s not rewrite history about where his play was when the decision was actually made.
