All Blacks vs Scotland

[MiketheSnow]

Scotland only have themselves to blame

NZ bench steadied the ship

[JayCee]

Telea so strong in contact, great debut

[Bones]

Poor Steve P, you almost saw his soul fly away when Sam told him to finish it

[ACT Crusader]

A “famous victory”…. for the ABs

Quite amazing considering how badly BB DH and Clarke played!
Edit: ALB seemed much happier when he went to 12 and Rieko came on to 13.

[Crazy Horse]

Commiserations to Foster. He came so close to another record but the subs let him down. He will be pleased with the efforts of DH, Clarke and BB though.

Rieko, premier midfielder.

Some people on here think he’s not a centre’s arsehole

[Bones]

Telea great debut, gives us an option to drop Clarke now.

DP absolutely devastating.

Perenara may well have broken some bench 9 hearts too.

[Tim]

An awful performance. Chistie, Barrett, Havilli, and ALB all absolute bums.

Talea the only good starting back. Rieko excellent off the bench.

Lienert Brown belongs in club rugby. Horribly overrated player.

I am not sure I will be able to watch the post-match interview with the AB coaches.
Bingo bonus if learnings is mentioned.

[nostrildamus]

I am not sure - during that Scottish yellow card on Dempsey - he was leaning/moving past the AB as if he really was going for the ball as well..

He can be quite an arsehole and he's a handy centre though.

[Tordah]

thought the forwards generally went well, but that was a horror show by the backs (except for Telea, who was good - J Barrett was OK, also) until TJP came on. Dalton's grip on the 7 jersey tightened a wee bit.

[KiwiMurph]

Wow.

Perenara's best ever test. Amazing. What a return.

All the bench were great. Taylor was immense.

Telea well done - huge debut.

But but but Rieko never passes? - sit down.

I'm not sure dropping Clarke is only optional. More of a necessity. Not RWC ready.

I don't care if he doesn't have an arsehole at all if he plays like that.

[Tim]

Lienert-Brown fans: he is absolute shit. Should never be anywhere near international rugby. He's slow, he's a bum. Rieko is 100x the player. Deal with it.

Suggestions for Team for next Week?

[MiketheSnow]

Smith, Mo, Reece, JB, Reiko, Telea, BB for England

[KiwiMurph]

We looked so much better playing off of 9 when Perenara was there vs off of 10 with Beaudy.
