Great attack though. Squire was a stand out for me, I think Kaino might have to take a backseat, definitely would love Kaino to make the next RWC but, not sure he will have the legs?
McKenzie was pretty good in the first half, made a few inexperienced errors but, to have him and J.Barrett...
I don't hate anyone in New Zealand and I don't give a crap where you are from in NZ. I'm just calling out the obvious bias like the stupid crap you're saying like Moala is better than Fekitoa?
But it does seem like you lot up North have forgotten what it takes to be a real rugby player. They...
Anyhow, we were crap in the last 30 minutes. I can only put that down to being well and truly out off sight 50 minutes into the game, it's only natural to fall off tackles and lose urgency.
There's still problems to our game that we have carried over from the Lions series. Our receiving ball...
It was a forward pass and there was an offside on one of the stupidest tries I've seen awarded. I was actually hysterically laughing how bad Barnes was when the replay was happening and he was saying "The pass is good", when clearly a mile forward and he's getting multiple replays on the TV...
Sorry, it's an absolute load of "garbage" that I've pointed out what has actually happened the last few seasons?
I'm not the one here banging on that they're 103KG of fat and trying to say Laumape isn't that big because you weigh the same as him? You seem to lack basic understanding of a lot of...
Have to disagree with you there. I think we went over this in a previous thread.
Moala only ever showed up vs poor opposition, people always reference that 3rd test vs the Welsh in Dunners when the Welsh were well beaten, tired and had 1 foot on the plane. How about we bring up that awful...
I actually think Buckman would compliment Laumape really well in midfield. Buckman is similar to C.Smith. Rarely misses a tackle, reads the game well and organizes the backline. I'd really like to see him get a tough test match together.
Ok, I think Jones has been peppered enough. We are all entitled to opinions no matter how wrong they can be sometimes lol.
I do think Laumape lacks in defence sometimes. He doesn't read the game defensively. Needs more coaching and development in his defensive game. But other than that he's...
Laumape is like a little rhino, incredibly hard to stop. Nonu was hardly a giant at look how devastating he was. Laumape is our man for 12. 103kg of muscle is far more devastating than 103kg of fat. No idea where you're coming from on that one mate. Also some of our greatest centers have been...
Those are Parsons strengths but, he has weaknesses that make him not of All Black standard. His decision making and set piece are the worst out of all the franchise hookers by a considerable distance. I would actually take Ash Dixon ahead of Parsons simply because his set piece is that bad. No...
Parsons isn't good enough.
Not sure what he sees in Fifita.
I feel the team is a little loose. I'd like us to be tighter in future and respect different tactics and the opposition a bit more.
I think we were guilty of underestimating the Lions. We did have some key injuries but, we should...
Great to see the Lions lose this, undoubtedly an undeserved rigged finals route. They did well to beat the Hurricanes but, played junk more than twice than anyone from the NZ 'conference' and were able to secure an undeserved home final. It's not their fault though, you can only beat what is in...
