Reece was excellent and Pat T
Reece was only average in the first half. But stepped up in the
2ndPT kind of the opposite

He finished the kick pass with a try.
Produced a great 50/22 from a turn and kick under pressure hardly average.
Amongst tidy up some other shit. -

Yuck, didn't see anything encouraging in that performance.
First time out so hard to see anything new I guess

That doesn't make sense.
It's a brand new coaching group, how could there not be anything new?

@Chris Yeah, Reece did all he could in first half. Very good game.
Fucked if I know what some people are looking at.

@chucknz waaaaa
Robertson is inexperienced at international level and it showed. They had a shit game plan and wer almost beaten.
You do want razor to fail, to prove he should've picked Sotutu and Akira tho, admit it - let it out, you'll feel better

As a complete SR neutral, I thought our 6-7-8 were completely outplayed tonight. Some serious thinking is needed.

@KiwiMurph Yes, I am very relieved we won. I've been having a great week, a loss would have ruined it.

Yeah me too feel a bit relieved.

He had a VG 2nd half. His try in the first I could ahev scored. He wasn't poor but just OK

Had we played Tonga and won by 70 we would be none the wiser.
We tonked world No.1, Ireland in the 1st Test in 2022 and no one complained. Worked out well...
Oh yeah I remember that test match because that’s the one where we had Whitelock, Retallick, Aaron Smith, Sam Cane playing. Handy bit of experience to call upon….

Pity we didn't call on for the next two Tests, eh? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

One thing the Blues do very well is close in work close to the ruck with Clarke and Telea. Lots of running off nine close to ruck. I truly believe keeping it tight and direct is the way to go.

This was different as it was a goal kick. A new low…

As a positive
I reckon Narawa or Clarke would have made far better use of the space Telea had.

Yep 100%

@chimoaus We don't have to go full Cotter-ball, but we only used our carriers up the middle about once, and that resulted in Reece's early try. We did not put pressure on the defence with carrying for most of the game. It was side to side.

We did it out the back a few times or one or two from the ruck and just went backwards. Telea did actually do a few pick and goes himself. Clearly it’s a balance but the team needs to adapt.
