Well they won with three yellow cards and only conceded 17 points against one of the better attacking back lines in the world. So that’s a positive.
Negatives is they can’t catch a fucking highball
They played like shit but a found a way thru by individual brilliance. We've seen it in the past with McCaw's
Thing is, we played brilliant rugby in the first twenty.
Scot’s should have had a card.

Well, I'll take that.
Kinda liked how we played in the 2nd forty. First half not so much.
I'm likely to be on the other side of accepted Fern opinion saying that, but they controlled that half pretty well.
Some real poor moments of organisation, or lack thereof (some of the lineout work was shoddy). Ball handling needs work.
Is it coincidental that our backline looked so much better? Or did we swap up tactics?
What's happened to Ardie and who is that guy wearing his body?
I agree mate
The second half was good
Was pretty clinical to close it out - not something we’ve said much lately
That was a pretty good performance
Smothered the Wallabies
They didn’t fire a shot in the last 10-15.
@Chris you enjoyed 39 missed tackles by the aussies ?
What’s Graham Henry doing these days
I’m normally pretty even keeled with the ABs
But this is the worst half I’ve seen since France 99
Heads probably need to roll after this
@antipodean to be fair we don’t have any other options right now

One of the worst AB's tight fives at scrum time that I can remember. Sub standard.
Bring back Cron
There was at least two SA off the balls before this
wTF
Destroyed

The problem is still the paucity of ideas or punch from the backline and the conservative selections. Love should have been given a shot in the second Argentinan test, but Robertson (worried about losing games primarily) appears to be shying away from succession planning. I wonder, too, whether they need to move JB out one to 13 and have Tupea starting at 12. It will be interesting to see whether they use Leicester F in the Wellington test - perhaps off the bench, with Jordan at 14, Love at 15 and Caleb Clarke at 11.
Bob, did you miss the first two tries? Good ideas executed well.
Hardly conditions for attacking rugby

Joe Schmidt seems to be living on pre Farrell Ireland reputation.. hasn’t added much to any team he’s been involved with since then, and Ireland have been better under Farrell. A bit like Plumtree. Posers
Man turning into the English Premier League with this shit
@Tim ones been on since minute one
Leave Roigard on
These pre planned subs are shit
@Dodge yep, still shit though
