Discarded / surplus to requirements for a lot of those players tbf

Fifita had multiple chances.

Running bigger packs off their feet with hybrid 7s playing in every loose forward position works in Super rugby but not in test rugby.

The Jason Holland philosophy... didn't work against teams not named Crusaders, Chiefs, Blues, Brumbies. So not entirely successful at Super Rugby level is it? Unless you are playing the comparatively unfit & poorly conditioned Australian teams.

Dane Coles is our best hooker right now. Discuss.

i was thinking during the game that was a impressive shift. if only we had that depth in all postions

I saw this on twitter. It's scary when you see all the names listed down. We have so much top class talent playing overseas.

NZ have ALWAYS provided the most players at every RWC, by a factor of 3. No change

You’ve made most of those names up

[Stargazer]

Ethan de Groot's hearing is on Monday.

The independent Disciplinary Committee that will hear the matter will be chaired by Brenda Heather-Latu (Samoa), joined by former players John Langford (Australia) and Leon Lloyd (England).

surely the EDG defence should just be a video of that french fella's yellow card?

Scrum

BBBR and Big Sam are very balanced and powerful engine.

@taniwharugby said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:

This is the most awful part of the game...there is obstruction at every bloody maul

Check out Kitshoff dragging Scots tackler over line when PSDT 'scored'.

[pakman]

@Billy-Tell said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:

Opposition is not very good. But Roigard surely has to be the bench 9. Just takes the right options every time.

IMPACT

[Joans Town Jones]

So just saw the game. What did we get out of it? We still do stupid, dumb, ridiculous and out and out mental shit in our own 22. Cam Roigard is pushing for the 9 jersey? We've now lost another player. Also, do the refs hate the ABs? It's like there's an APB out on them. I know it's only Namibia, but did the ABs do anything to show they will be a threat in the QF?

Yeah, a quick glance and I know the majority of those names. Why only sorta Caleb Muntz? He's Maori. Oh, cos he's injured?

Yeah he was listed but sadly never made it to the cup

Or a video of the Fijian player yesterday when Australia were attacking which the TMO said there was nothing to see there.

[taniwharugby]

@MajorRage yep, several other examples so far that weren't even carded, WR setting themselves up here.

[chimoaus]

McLeod on the penalty count “Not so much a worry, but definitely a focus area for us,”

Fuck me how can conceding what 12 penalties with 75% possession against a minnow not be a worry. Or how about the fact we have had 2 red cards in last 3 games. The fact we seem to give away more penalties then just about every team. If that is not a worry you have got a few Kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

I so desperately want a coach who tells it like it is, holds players accountable and stops sugar coating everything with lessons, learnings and focus areas.

at least we’re not going on a “journey” though

true that, a journey implies direction

[Jailbreak7]

@chimoaus Absolutely agree. The total penalty count for England v Japan yesterday was 12. Six pens each.
England have also had 2 x red cards dished out, but managed to curb the penalties yesterday, so it can be done. Why is this so hard for us to implement. It's not rocket science ffs

Im happy with how we are tracking in that space.
