Jesus Christ can we please get over the fucking Quade beating? Did any of you actually watch the game last night? Or did you just come to the conclusion that we lost, so it must be Quades fault!!! There are a few on here that will agree that he was far from our worst performer, if not one of the better ones. He mixed it up between taking it to the line, offloading to his backs early and kicking both tactically and for his wingers/ full backs. He created line breaks and frankly did the best you could behind a pack going backwards.
This was far from a single player's issues, it was the whole team and to say he "should never see a gold jersey again!" is just scapegoating when there are others who should be taking just as much, if not more, blame for what happened.
For the record, I don't think he was any better or any worse than To'omua in the second Bledisloe. I think there is still a major selection dilemma there because both have positives and both offer something to the team. Unfortunately, we will NEVER know who is the right choice untill we see them playing behind a pack that at least has parity. It really is as simple as that.
