All blacks with all the rub

In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue

 

[Lightblue]

The star of the show in modern rugby is the referee.

What a bloody sad state of affairs.

 

[Derpus]

Wright, Gordon, Holloway continued selection gets more and more baffling. Wilson and Porecki not improving their reputation either.

Gordon has been fine.

 

[Dan54]

Would be a real shame the NZ tv producers showed us a replay of Foley being taken out after the kick

Um they did, you not watching?

 

[Shiggins]

Whats everyone's thoughts on taking 3 points. In hindsight if we had have taken 3 points it might be 6 or 9 to 17.

 

[Elfster]

Well done Morgan. You have managed to find someone less coherent to interview than Sonny Bill

Wilson has tried has heart out but hasn't been crash hot so far.

It’s hard, he is trying to show he should be in the team. But sometimes trying too hard can create those errors.

 

[Dan54]

Am I allowed to say. although I agree it was a yc, Hollaway I thought was a bit almost unlucky, he was left holding legs when Wilson let go. I know it was early in game but I only post in breaks.

We've been shit house at taking the 3 when on offer for the last 15 years!

 

[Derpus]

Credit to NZ their defence has been fantastic and they look electric on attack.

Ref isn't deciding this one at all. Although that decision against Samu was criminal.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Our Centres are just non existent. Jordan is gliding through and they seem to be able to slice them every time.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Fuck me the look on SBWs face tells me he thinks he’s a fountain of wisdom.

 

[Dan54]

Well done Morgan. You have managed to find someone less coherent to interview than Sonny Bill

We missing it here in NZ mate who was it?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Why do we have to listen to SBW and Mertens? We should only have to listen to them if Phil Kearns is a colour commentator on NZ Television!

 

[Sword of Justice]

Gordon has been fine.

Fine is relative to his net impact on the game which I agree has tended to the positive however my comment is in relation to the alternatives at starting 9 jersey. I do think White and McDermott have a greater upside atm. I'm especially confused as to why he is being selected ahead of White who I believe has been fair to very good for us consistently for the last several years.

 

[Dan54]

Fuck me the look on SBWs face tells me he thinks he’s a fountain of wisdom.

Doesn't he always mate?

 

[Dan54]

Hell no mate, we try to have a little taste, buggered if I know why you have them.

 

[Shiggins]

I think the all blacks defence and our desperation might turn this game into a blow out unfortunately. Would love to be proven wrong.

Was the French bloke the touchie?

Ruby Tui.

I Don’t mind her. It’s just her personality
