All Blacks v Argentina II

[stodders]

Yellow cards killed the ABs today. And the 2 in the 1st half were low IQ plays, especially when TMOs are as invasive as they are nowadays.

Also, SBarret is not an AB captains asshole. Should never have made him captain when it wasn't even clear he was the best lock in the country. Stupid decision.

Who’s the captain then? It’s definitely not Savea. He doesn’t have the leadership skills either

Why isn’t it Savea? Some of our best performances under Razor have been when Ardie’s been skip.

The rot in this team has been around for a while and Savea is part of it. Someone relatively new would be nice

[LagerLout]

******* pissed off. Worst Ab's performance in the last 30 years. Couldn't catch a cold. Just pathetic.

Did you not watch Super Rugby this year. Ardie single handedly turned Moana into a proper team.

[BerniesCorner]

SB good player, good man but not suited to captaincy.
Savea should be captain

Yes, one season of over zealous passion doesn’t equate to international leadership skills

Yet he was the best lock in the country when the decision was made. He had surpassed Retallick and Whitelock as the first choice lock in the 2023 season. 2024 he is selected as captain.

Sure, question some of the decision making on the field, but let’s not rewrite history about where his play was when the decision was actually made.

[Darth Sader]

Razor needs to stop man-managing and actually coach (if he can). Or get out.

[akan004]

Sack Razor right now. Have seen enough. He's been in charge for a year and half and we have not seen one complete performance under his watch. Where's the improvement? We can see it with Joe and the Wallabies, but we are going backwards under Razor.

At least give him a go to find out

[MacDazzler]

Our backline were dreadful and Holland is a dud coach. I mean he was ordinary as the Canes coach.

Discipline also shocking.

[stodders]

@LagerLout short memories here. I can remember a couple of stinkers against Argentina in NZ that would trump this one. This Argentina side is a better one than the ones that beat NZ in NZ.

NZ weren’t good enough against what is, on their day, a very good Argentina team.

Savea is the obvious choice. He’s got the backing of most of the players, not sure Barrett does as captain tbh.

[KiwiMurph]

We are stuck with Razor til 2027 regardless of results. Time to accept it.

He’s been in the leadership group for 8-9 years. He frequently finishes the match as captain. He clearly doesn’t make much of a difference. Different voices are needed ASAP. The old heads are not going to do it

[DMX]

I put a lot of this on Razor, in what world is our back 3 better than any other in the rugby championship?

[BerniesCorner]

Sititi and Roigard will make a big difference
Time for DMac to start

[Victor Meldrew]

I never thought I'd say this, but Finlay Christie was probably out best player out there today.

Hope Ratima, Hotham and Roigard are back soon or with another injury we are in real poo at 9

Like last week when he finished as captain and we dominated the last 20 minutes?

@stodders you must be bloody blind if you think there was a single thing in that performance that was even par. But hey, you kiddos would know.
