@Kirwan You love twisting my words. Why don't you focus on someone else on the Fern for change?
How about stop telling people how to spend their time because they criticise your favourite players?
Just saying "he was shit" isn't criticism, it's just shitposting.
Shit chips to nowhere seem to be gameplan that's why ALB and Rangitoto Beauden were doing them too. RM took the ball to the line well, found his support, and set plays as well as he could have with his halfback being monstered and little support from his pack.
Interested to see if you have any other examples of him being "shit".

Well this was a long time coming. We look tired and slow out there. Flat track bully Mo'unga needs to go to the bench. Most non-Crusaders fans could see that he can't play without front foot ball, get Barrett back at 10 asap with Smith at 15. Hansen really has fucked up with our unsettled midfield and his refusal to bring through Luatua/Ioane at 6, instead trying every other 6 in NZ rugby to avoid the issue in the hope that one of them would come off when most of them were nowhere near good enough. Our tarting props are fucken slugs out there who can hold the scrum up and that's it.
Dare I say Jordie Barrett to the right wing? He's not the most loved player out there but he seems to be the only option so far. He's a safer bet than the other options and I'd rather have him out there ahead of Bridge and Reece.

you know what, i half agree with you. RM was not the reason we lost that. BUT
He is the 10. He is supposed to be in charge of our team. And i no way would the coaches have him in such a tight leash he can only do one thing. He was poor today, really poor. Not all his fault, but he didn't help himself.

What's wrong with Reece at 14?
Terrible defence at SR and NPC level. Caught out of position against Argentina.

Well if that all I was saying you’d be right, but thanks for the strawman.
It’s a failed experiment. The dual playmaker thing didn’t work with McKenzie either.
For all his faults BB is the best ten in the squad, it’s why we looked better in patches when he came up from fullback. When RM is at first receiver, the backline looks terrible.
-
If the BB/RM combo isn't working (for whatever reason) 2-3 games out from RWC2019, it's too late to continue with it.
That's no reflection on the players - it's just common sense.

@mariner4life not for today. For Tokyo. For Barrett's inevitable example setting 6 weeks and because he's playing again and we're fucken pansies at the moment.
The best of a green bunch for 50 minutes -
@Victor-Meldrew I'd say it's too soon to stop. They've only played this combo twice.
I also think our backline would work better with Crotty in it.

And Hall at halfback?
