Imagine being so fucking dumb that you select Frizzell, Savea, and Barrett, and a hundred other bums, ahead of Papalii and Ioane, and then not understand why England fucking destroy your garbage forward pack.
Imagine riding Graham Henry's coattails and never learning anything about coaching. What a fucking retard, what a fucking bum.
You're never going to hear a word from me about that semi final forward pack, I was literally sitting in the crowd screaming for SAM CANE from minute 2. Don't forget they benched him that day.
That was weird. GH out thought himself in picking Scott Barrett
Literally the best loose forward we had.
On the bench. -
What’s your current 23 @Tim ?

@tim said in All Blacks 2021:
@canefan Because I'm not an abject moron who celebrates the ABs being flat-track bullies who won a meaningless game, after losing two historically important games against the same team?
How dumb are you that you would raise the WC QF just before we got absolutely rolled? What a stupid post.
You are on fire tonight mate. Hair trigger. It wasn't totally insignificant, if we'd lost we would never have had the opportunity to play the following week

@tim said in All Blacks 2021:
So at 1.39.18, ABs get penalty. TJP tries to get ball off Itoje to get on with things. Farrell gets in to interfere/pull TJP jersey. Whitelock pushes him off and catches Owen's face.
Penalty reversal.
NO. Warning for Owen F not to prevent ABs playing on.
That reffing mistake was fatal.
14-16 and my money would have been on us. STILL haven'd rewatched last 15.

Grace hasn't been up to it this year (he's had a few decent games late in the season like Sotutu) - you'e better off including the Tongan who has had a good season and might finally realise his potential or go with a three sided coin.

With Cane out there's no way this coaching group won't start Ardie.
Ardie will start at either 7 or 8.
At least he can't play both which means a start for one of Papali'i/Sotutu/Jacobson.
I’d say with both Cane and Frizell out that Ardie is a dead certainty to start in the bigger games
-
I'm fine with Ardie starting (though prefer him off the bench), but he'll need a couple of big boppers either side of him.

No big games for a while tho, first 3 aren't
-
Just realized I put this in the wrong thread.
Provided his head is okay, I think Jacobsen should get the spot at 8. Akira at 6 and Dalton at 7 - with Ardie as the impact sub.
I'd like to see that huge Canterbury prop on the bench and Peter Umaga Jensen be given a go at 12 at some stage. -

Super rugby isn't test rugby.
Hah and I'd forgotten about Frizzel. Isn't he injured?

@bones said in All Blacks 2021:
@machpants shit of course, how could I forget player voting is the selection criteria this year.
It's higher than the opinion of someone's who thinks Ardie is not a test match player, he won us a few over the last few years against the boks
-
@machpants won games on his own?

Don't be facetious. He was a major factor, same way as Carter, McCaw, etc can be a major factor; and it would be hard to see the victory if another played instead.

🤣 Yeah good call.
Anyway who thinks he's not a test player? Or are you just making shit up?
