@Tim How embarrassing. Couldn't be more unbalanced.

Balance = One was good, one was shit and the other had his moments of both. Perfectly balanced.

Good learning experience for the boys. Cane as a captain as well.
I’ve seen us play worst and lost. Video analysts will be working overtime this week because there’s plenty of footage for a lot of guys to show where improvements can be made.

If I never see DMac in black again, I'll be happy.Clearly not based on his performance in this match.
Are the highs worth the lows?
Probably, same with JB.
He had a bad SRA but he’s never been as bad as your publicity campaign against him attempts to make out.

Certainly not as good as his publicist makes out either.

Should be Dmac at full back with Clarke/Jordan on the wings.
I feel Jordies eventually going to get moved to the midfield. Doesnt offer enough as an international outside back and not enough pros to keep out the talented outside backs we have available.
Riekos easily our best center. Been in amazing form, aside from the moronic touchdown.
I don't think so Rieko was average he fell of tackles ,Got out of position on defence butchered a try he is a wing at test level not a centre.
At this point I don't really care who it is, but can we just pick a centre combo and stick with it? In the interests of having some structure and two guys who can actually be trusted then Goodhue-ALB seems like the best option, but if they want to give Ioane a serious look there whatever.

Yeah well you can have Ioane at Centre not me Goodhue,ALB for my vote.

Looking forward to some insightful comments from Joe Wheeler! Is he even more stupid than the CEO?
@Tim He's pretty funny though apparently.....

He'll just say it was a great match and Ozzie turned up.
I'll hand over the deed to my house if he says "clearly the selections weren't right. We'll have some big changes next week".

If I never see DMac in black again, I'll be happy.Yeah me too the bigger physical teams will dominate DMAC
@Chris Like when he was the only attacking threat against England at twickenham 2018 end of year tour where he destroyed them?
Or when he destroyed the Springboks in south africa in his first rugby championship? Which bigger/physical teams are you talking about? I've heard this statement repeated even though its been refuted consistently.

@canefan Nor will you barring some type of serious misconduct
We are stuck with him for 2 years
Losing the Bledisloe would be a fairly major KPI failure - enough to warrant sacking

Clarke subbed on in the 69th minute
5 defenders beaten. The best of any AB, the next best was Ardie with 3
He ran 55m which was 4th best of the AB's (only behind Ioane, Barrett and Mo'unga )

Would have been handy to have another hour of that.

@rotated I agree but I’m not for the one and done option with Reiko. Needs a chance and time.

None of them but it would be nice to see some show big enough balls to actually take it

Should have quoted your original comment. Was referring to your statement on Dmac against bigger teams.

@broughie defence is always tough for a centre, and obviously Ioane has alot to learn, but I think he has the game to make it there
