[Aussie D]

[Shiggins]

It's a forward pass. But whatever.

I haven’t been able to watch the whole game, but whenever I do Maddocks turns over the ball..........

 

[Aussie D]

has Hooper been replaced?

 

[upthereds#!]

i swear the all blacks don't randomly have halfbacks and tight forwards consistently defending in the 13/wing channel as we do.

Christ, why has Foley been the cause of the 40 points against us? If we want to fix the problem we need to go further than this bullshit singling out one player. Maybe think about a general lack of skills across all Australian teams.

Foley has been a terrible 10 and offers nothing. He made a great cover tackle tonight and made a break that led to a try. His opponent scored 4 tries. The attack starts at 10 and our doesn't start. Keep picking keep getting the same result

 

[Slim 293]

Tui has offered very little

Rubbish.

 

[Shiggins]

The boys tried so hard. I honestly believe that. We just are not as good as the best team ever. End of story

Beauden Barrett scoring four tries has nothing to do with Foley's performance. When you ship 40 points it's not really the attack you start blaming.

Again Pocock is absolutely massive.. fell apart but we just arent as good as the all blacks..

Bring on the Bok

Blow it up. Start again. This is shithouse. How can we be not fit enough? That is the starting point. No farkin excuses.

 

[Shiggins]

Let's see how we go against the boks. That's when we will see where we are at as a team. All blacks are just 3 steps above

The gap is huge. Not even close.

Don't agree with this, not because the ABs aren't very good, but because we make extremely basic errors that we then compound. We don't defend like an international team, certainly not in cover defence, whatever Cheika and Grey had them doing in the Wallaby Camp it certainly wasn't practising defending in broken play. We shouldn't have to wait till the Boks to try and fix basic problems.

 

[Gooddog]

Heads must roll. There has to be accountability. Farkin weak.

 

[Aussie D]

is itwidening or closing though? our backs have beenshovelling the ball for a number of years, yet even their front rowers know how to draw and pass and how to run into space. we keep picking unbalanced teams and players who can't perform the basics of their position. a circuit breaker is needed

I hate watching these games. I get so angry.
