All Blacks vs Pumas I

[ACT Crusader]

Brodie a bit of white line fever a couple of phases there

Huge congrats to Owen Franks for breaking the ( non ) trying scoring record in internationals. 84 and counting !

being a fat prop, he's probably proud of it

Haha, and he was keen on getting that record, too!

Dunno if I'd go for scrum with our reserve front row

but what do I know. Solid scrum and try

[No Quarter]

Two cynical penalties in a row on their own line. I've seen YCs given for much less.

[Tordah]

imagine if that was the ABs under the cosh, conceding all those pens, how quickly would the scribes be all about the "cynical ABs?" doing everything to prevent a try and not even copping YCs?

[Billy Tell]

Another very solid display from the much-maligned Crotty.

Superglue in the midfield.

[Stargazer]

Geezus, Crotty is having a great night. Running a great line, again!

Where is NTA? He'd be demanding it!!

NZ commentator says about Steve Hansen's mass replacements "Do you think they’ve got the message now?"

Heh, heh - if you are not going to play at the very top of your game I have other blokes sitting on the bench who can.

[Tordah]

nice move, that "flat" pass from TJP reminded me of the "flat" passes Genia threw regularly in 2010/11

[dingo]

Ben from Accounts is gold

[Billy Tell]

The decision to pull Aaron Smith was yet another masterful decision from Hansen.

[Mattasaurus]

Ben Smith is lovely to watch

[Tordah]

Ben Smith with his wonky Cullen impression there

[Stargazer]

Glad Benny scored that try, because Dagg had 100s of metres of free space to score it.

[No Quarter]

That was a Cullen-type try from BFA, outstanding.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Damn he's brilliant. A great night for the skinny white boy fanboys

[dingo]

Oz will have watched this and noted how the Pumas have slowed down in the later part of this half. They'll want to avoid being run over in the first half and really run the Pumas around with a view to scoring in the second half.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

TJ has looked sharp. If he can finally avoid being monumentally flaky he's a far better option than TKB. That's a big if though.
