All Blacks v Tonga

Yeetyaah

Coles bad

antipodean

Jordan not making it easy for people he passes to

It's been obvious all season that Bridge is in terrible form. It's been obvious for a long while he is a very limited option. And yet Foster and Co. selected him on the Left Wing for the ABs. 🤬

If I had to choose between him and Jordie..

Are there no Cantabs on the Fern anymore? Bridge is taking a hammering and there's no one defending him.

I will think you will find some have always had doubts about him. I know I have.

AB's not giving away anything tonight. Same three man groups in the backline.

Papalii a better winger than Bridge.

I think the only All Black that wouldn't be is probably Owen Franks

Frank’s will be spewing he’s not playing could’ve scored his first AB try

antipodean

Can't even score a half century in 40mins against this team. Dreadful.

Stag

The amount of turnovers against this very poor Tongan team has been absolutely horrendous

I'd say Beauden would like to be out there too.
Edit: actually would this not be a perfect warmup for BB?

Yeetyaah

@antipodean I blame Bridge

Jordie can at least beat a man one on one. Bridge is like picking a hooker that can’t throw into a line out.

Nah he's proud as to have so many tests unsullied by scoring, pure front row

I think every AB has beaten a player except Bridge....

Tim

@stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.
