@Chester-Draws said in All Blacks vs Argentina I - 10 August:
Two tries let in to being out of position/out-jumped from cross-kicks in a single game is a major issue.
and Sevu Reece got run past in a simple 1 on 1.
It is a holistic assessment. I really rate Sevu, but he is on the small side for Test rugby. Want Caleb back there; his work in the air (particularly at kickoffs) is awesome

Our winger are great at super rugby level but a bit limited at test level
I would prefer Clarke and Rieko. Speed and power. With Love at FB until Jordan is fully fit.

ABs have won 1 of their last 6 tests in Wellington
If they lose this weekend I petition to shift the Bledisloe match out of Wellington....

Even that (1) win was a lackluster result, they only won 26-14 with France playing with 14 men for 70 minutes....
The Auckland & Dunedin tests were absolute routings, 52-11, 49-14.

The cake tin hoodoo is very real.

That was such a shit game, just awful. I was there for all(?) of those games, sucks!

Just think if the 43,,000 capacity AMI Stadium hadn't sunk in liquefaction the All Blacks historical winning record might be a few digits higher with less fixtures given to Wellington.
2011 pre–world cup against SA is the only high scoring performance in the capital since the 2011 earthquake -. 2012, 13, 14, 16, all low scoring wins... since then all loses except for that 2018 test.

Lost to Lions the year before too.
Our record in Wellington is by far the worst in Mz

Last few pages have left me thinking I’m the only somewhat unfit not ripped poster on the forum. Everyone else lifting weights…

Don't you mean solidity?

Brace yourself for the team naming.

I don't get the ALB selection, if Ioane isn't starting then surely Proctor deserves that opportunity being the form 13. I actually wouldn't have minded if ALB and Proctor started again together to send a rocket up J Barrett aswell.

If it wasn't for SBW's shoulder we would have been sweet.
Yeah the ABs don't have a good record in Welly and we can't even blame the poor weather. The last two tests I've been to were perfect conditions and we lost against South Africa in the last second, and then Ireland aswell. Hopefully we can turn it around.

@Toddy I think a lot of people have their eye on the Aus test in September rather than this week's Argies test.

The allocation of tests this year is odd.
Argentina aren't a draw so would have made more sense to move them out of Eden Park and Sky Stadium that already have other big tests.

@KiwiMurph yeah they should have played the Argie game in Chch or another venue. Probably get a similar crowd and it will look better on TV.
Or instead of playing England in Dunners they could have played that test in Wellington and then played the Argie test in Dunners.

@Canes4life Hamilton get no tests....
@KiwiMurph oh yeah that's crazy. Definitely should have shared it around.
