@jimmyb yeah it's interesting, I'd definitely not rate Carter as a speedster. I'd be surprised if he's not one of the slower outside backs in the squad. Bloody quick off the mark and great anticipation and vision though.

I was always under the impression he was rapid? Ok maybe I take it back

I mean, he could be, but I'd cite sweet feet, lines and a fend as much more a weapon than pace. Jane mkII

He is the quickest in NZ

You're welcome.

Of concern though, he's 26 and a kiwi.

After watching the Boks v Wallabies - it is very clear our kicking accuracy and chasing is not of the same standard as either of them.

I feel we get much more BB dinky kick, low probability bullshit when the 9 isn't kicking with accuracy themselves. Ratimas box kicks need to improve - the forwards have given him plenty to work with and he and BB really need to step up and control the game - not keep rolling the dice and hoping for the best.

Why is the audio of the anthems always so scuffed for games in Argie.

[Yeetyaah]

This horn section is fucking awful they should be tried and executed.

The Argentina Anthem seems longer and with more movements than a Charles Ives symphony,

The crowd are going off there now!

Some stadium

Berry brought his whistle anyway.

1st box kick to deep and uncontestable - I would really like to see us actually clear the fucking 22 normally -- you know like an NPC team..

[canefan]

First box kick our chasers get to the receiver way late, Ratima's kick appeared to be purposefully deep

[African Monkey]

Marshall trying to say for the Argies to not waste their time taking 3s. Pfffft, awful commentary.

[Jet]

Music during breaks in play. Make it fucking stop please.

A blight on the game.

Slipping off tackles early

Jordie does a Luke mcalister chip

[canefan]

More clunky backplay and an aimless poor chip kick

[ACT Crusader]

Jordie, terrible kick.

[Darth Sader]

Jordie showing shit chips are a genetic trait

Yep, some very average shoulders in that opening play.

[KiwiMurph]

We look absolutely shithouse
