All Blacks v Argentina II
-
What a shit half of rugby from the All Blacks.
Offside, constant infringing and deservedly with two in the bin.
Sheer luck we're going into the sheds even.
-
Jordie and Ioane have been disasters tonight.

Our lack of speed in the backs is very apparent
Lack of passing skills ... running lines...defensive reads...
It's all about theming under Razor.

Shit, who knew Fletcher had afterburners?!!
Looking at the prop-appropriate width of him perhaps a more apt term is aftereaters.
Clearly reads the fern and got upset at people comparing him to a statue in general play
But just a year or so ago he had the balance of an Easter Island statue and the speed of a George Bridge after breakfast. Really impressive improvement around the field this season.

This is an awful low quality game
I don’t know how many times the ABs and Argies have played in my life time but the vast majority have been scrappy stop start affairs with both teams pushing the play. There’s been the odd fluent try scoring and running games, but they are hardly ever good games to watch.

Bit more backbone when under pressure than we've seen in a while. Some good D when down to 13 men.

Proctor is so at sea in defense. Has no idea where to position himself
Tough when you're defending the 13 channel two men down.
I appreciate that but it is a theme of making poor reads in defence, particularly on off first phase set piece attack

Yeah he can't take the flack there

‘Our discipline has to better’. How many times have we heard that? It’s the rugby equivalent of ‘that’s the last drink, I swear.’ Clueless, gormless, formless, everything less

100% using Proctor as a scapegoat. He’s been one of the better backs on the park.
Ioane and Jordie have been horrible. Expect better from those two.

I do take issue with "discipline" being something thats 100% your own fault too.
You can have decent discipline and fall foul of a knob end of a ref.

Is the game plan about trying to drag the opposition into a game headless chicken rugby ?
That’s the only consolation , they are doing similar things
