All Blacks v Argentina I
-
@Chris-B I'm not sure exactly what BB is giving the coaches that DMac wasn't. The last game he started we beat Ireland away,and he was close to man of the match wasn't he? Since then he's not played 10 at all that I can recall. So BB must be an amazing trainer....

@canefan DMac? He's played a whole season of Super rugby at 10. Sometimes not very well.
But, I kind of struggle to see Beaudy as clearly better. But, I'm prepared to be wrong!
I was talking about AB level. In the last 12 months DMac has been outduelled by Plummer (SR 24 final), BB (SR 25 QF) and Reihana (SR 25 F). Obviously it's not all on him. But he had a good NH tour which apparently doesn't count for much

Finally got to finish a replay. From what i read/heard i was expecting far worse.
It's always worse in real time. For a good 10mins in the second half I thought "ffs, here we go again".
That we didn't was a positive for me.
Been a long 2-3 years, but we do seem to be better at digging ourselves out of mental holes

Annoyingly, the AB stats site has degenerated, so you can't readily find out who played in what in the past two seasons.
But, I think DMac helmed three losses and Beauden just one. Seems like BB is probably about 8/9 at present, so it's not too awful.

As a
n International Man of Mysterylevel three coach (that's not true) I truly believe the Beauden of Barretts is implementing the gameplan the coaches want. Theshitvaried kicking is to keep the defence guessing, preventing the rush and as a result giving our super talented backs the time and space to express themselves. -
@Bovidae said in All Blacks v Argentina I:
@Chris-B The ABs were losing to England until BB went off with a failed HIA which meant DMac went into 1st 5 and Telea came back on the field to score the winning try.
So you're saying pick Tele'a?
-
@antipodean They both saved BB's arse.
Robertson too. -

But we undid the good work with our lack of precision
-
@canefan true - if those passes went to hand we'd have cut them to shreds.
But too often they don't.

Yup. And almost isn't quite good enough is it?

@Duluth runs the best site for finding out those sorts of things.

<Days later> This might belong in a grumpy old man-live match reporting thread, but it would be nice, in future, if occasionally people mentioned the score in the live match thread. For those not near the game, the tv, other media. Reading through the thread live it felt at times like the Pumas were leading by 2 tries plus...

Not for player info
rugbydatabase.co.nz is the best for seeing what games people played
rugbyhistory.co.nz is useful for a summary of what position people played in. Although it doesn't have the latest games.. they seem to update at the end of the year
Hopefully rugbydatabase adds player positions to their search results. They have all the info they just need to expose it

You have team sheets and the score, so better than most! I don't bother looking elsewhere nowadays
I'll check that link out next time though.
