Aumua took a great time to throw so badly
No one jumped though. Just piss poor all around. Horrible game overall by the ABs.
Why are people blaming Aumua for a lineout where he had no targets? The whole thing was a debacle and speaks volumes about the coaching and selecting.
Fucking abysmal. At least Fozzie got us to a RWC final.
Because he didn’t throw one straight since he came on.
No. One. Jumped.
What every line out
Too difficult to grasp we're talking about the last lineout?
All 4 Amua fucked up by not throwing straight not just the last one.
Bahaha it wasn’t all Aumua’s fault. How does no one even jumping land on his shoulders. You’re just trying to deflect blame from poor coaching. Taylor was the shit throwing hooker in the two tests in England and we were lucky to get out of those tests without atleast one loss. Razor has a lot of work to do. The honeymoon is over.
He couldn’t hit fuck all tonight had a shocker
Terrible performance like a lot of them
TJ, Jordie just really poor.
Drop them all useless.Drop Taylor and Blackadder aswell. No effect at all. Blackadder flying back like that as our enforcer and then missing a one on one tackle under our posts was just embarrassing. Taylor shouldn’t have been starting tonight, he was garbage in the first two tests. Maybe starting Aumua would have given him more confidence instead of throwing him in last minute when we were already under the pump.
Again, it falls on Razor with shit selections and shit tactics.
He chose not to select the form Super players like Sotutu, Love, Lakai, Ioane etc so he can fall on the sword when it all turns to shit for all I care.

Drop the best lineouts thrower and the leading tackler... ...real smart

As for the game itself
Newell needs to go. Just too limited. I would bring in Williams and Tosi.
Taylor is so past his best now I would prefer RR. With Aumua starting. Aumua is not a great replacement with 15 minutes left type player. Esp with jumper forgetting to jump
Darry was VG. Why was he initially excluded. And why was he taken off?
Blackadder is not the answer at 6. He remind me a bit of a fish out of water
I thought Perenara did well. And Ratima was no better. But would still start Ratima next week. For one to stop the stuck record regardless of how he's playing with TJ
ALB is not a center. I would give Barrett a rest next week with ALB and Proctor starting.
Is it worth bringing Cane back at 7? Dalton is fine but Cane is better
Reece is a fine SRP player but too small and too slow for a test AB.My back three for next week would at Reiko, Clarke and Love (or maybe BB or Jordan). But why Love wasn't in the initial squad and tried before now is a mystery to me. His decison making and kicking for the Canes was first rate. And he's fast and a great step when required
Jordan could come off the bench again. With Jordan, BB and Perenara. Jordie a rest)

I'm getting real sick of hearing players say they've gotta take the learnings. And it irritates beyond the grammar; just why do you need to learn the same dumb shit time after time as professional rugby players?
Does losing actually hurt anymore? I can't imagine a bunch of these players would survive with All Blacks from previous the millenia.

Yeah I’ve been feeling this for a while ,
I’m probably a dinosaur but we have lost our ruthlessness,
Probably left us when mccaw retired and has never returned , he was the last of the old school leaders .
I miss those days when were hated and called cheats .
Now we are mr nice guys . -

If there’s one consolation, I just saw the AUS vs RSA game. We may still keep the Bledisloe.

Ok fellas, bottom line is we lost last night (looked poor), but positive we got Pumas at home next week, and they not really that good so we will win then. So will everything be ok then?
Not sure you've been paying attention, but we just lost to the Pumas at home.

Being a bit tongue in cheek mate, let's face it we all thought a couple of games at home against Pumas was reasonably easy.

Lol the reason he tackled so much was because he kept turning the ball over with shit carries. But let’s just keep ignoring the poor performances of Razor’s mates in the team aye.

Darry did his job well in the lineout but so were the other targets at the time. Did anyone notice whether he stood up in the dark stuff? Did he win his collisions, knock people back? I am not saying he didn't, I just didn't notice because I was looking at other stuff.

@Jet you talk about 2015 stability, but how long did it take to get to that sort of stability? At least 3-4 years.
We are wanting stability when we’ve had another big exodus and that next crop are still very much inexperienced or haven’t been entrusted with the keys (yet).

Yeah - the forward pack that started the RWC final had 518 test caps.
The forward pack that finished last night had 209 - of which Ofa and Ardie account for 143 and the other 6 had 66 between them - and I daresay a good proportion of these have been from the bench.
You simply can't shed that amount of experience 300+ caps) and not expect there will be implications.
Hate to use the word, but there was a bit of a choke in the last 15 minutes once the Argies got their noses in front. We will need to grow some guys.

@ACT-Crusader said in All Blacks vs Argentina I - 10 August:
@Jet everything you have described has happened before in the ABs. And with pretty successful teams.
Gibbes and Collins from week to week. Not the same player or approach to a game by any stretch.
Rodders to Lauaki from week to week. Very different number 8’s that offer strengths not aligned to a single philosophy of play.
I just don’t think it’s panic stations just yet.
Also welcome to the Fern (if you are indeed a newbie….)
We have had Frizell, Finau, Jacobsen, Blackadder at 6 in our last 5 games.
Meanwhile the super rugby winning 6 is at home scratching his bollox.
While I do take your point...is it not fair to say that the allblack selection policy is akin to a Jackson Pollock painting over the last few years? Just fucking shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.

Also welcome to the Fern (if you are indeed a newbie….)
We have had Frizell, Finau, Jacobsen, Blackadder at 6 in our last 5 games.
Meanwhile the super rugby winning 6 is at home scratching his bollox.
While I do take your point...is it not fair to say that the allblack selection policy is akin to a Jackson Pollock painting over the last few years? Just fucking shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.
Some interesting ideas in your posts, Jet - some I agree with, some I don't.
At blindside, though - Ryan has said he was very disappointed that Frizell was allowed to slip away. If he were available, I suspect he would have played 3/4 of these tests. But, he's gone to Japan so a change was enforced.
Finau pretty clearly struggled vs England, replacing him was probably a good idea.
And Jacobson played vs Fiji and was injured - so again an enforced change - had to be either to Blackadder or back to Finau.

@Jet everything you have described has happened before in the ABs. And with pretty successful teams.
Gibbes and Collins from week to week. Not the same player or approach to a game by any stretch.
Rodders to Lauaki from week to week. Very different number 8’s that offer strengths not aligned to a single philosophy of play.
I just don’t think it’s panic stations just yet.

Come on man, if they showed half the persistence with Finau as was shown with Frizzel, I dare say he could live up to at least the same heights.

@Bones Frizell played his first test in June 2018 and his second test in September. Four in his first year. It took him five years to be established as the clear first choice.
Kaino played his first test in 2004, his second and third in 2006, and his fourth in 2008.

Right, so you're saying if they'd have been persisted with, we would have had established players much earlier? Good call.

@Jet you talk about 2015 stability, but how long did it take to get to that sort of stability? At least 3-4 years.
We are wanting stability when we’ve had another big exodus and that next crop are still very much inexperienced or haven’t been entrusted with the keys (yet).
Yeah - the forward pack that started the RWC final had 518 test caps.
The forward pack that finished last night had 209 - of which Ofa and Ardie account for 143 and the other 6 had 66 between them - and I daresay a good proportion of these have been from the bench.
You simply can't shed that amount of experience 300+ caps) and not expect there will be implications.
Hate to use the word, but there was a bit of a choke in the last 15 minutes once the Argies got their noses in front. We will need to grow some guys.
