With Clarke, I want to see the hype, I really do......
I want to believe you, I really do......
However your judgment of wing play seems a bit off
@Old-Samurai-Jack said in AB left wing:
The comments on here about Bridge are ridiculous. He has scored tries for the ABs that young fellas like Clarke (a fern favourite) could only dream of at this stage.
@Old-Samurai-Jack said in All Blacks vs Fiji 2:
I am in the pro-Bridge camp. You all create your own reality through cognitive dissonance. Offers a dam sight more than fern favourite Clarke would if he was in the ABs in his present form.
@Old-Samurai-Jack said in All Blacks vs Pumas I:
Bridge played OK. He bumped off a couple of players, was fairly physical....if his last name was Clarke the Fern would be ecstatic about his performance.
@Old-Samurai-Jack said in All Blacks vs Pumas I:
Are you taking the piss? Bridge has a far better nose for the scoreline than Clarke.

Canes were fortunate that Reds completely imploded in 2nd half, not a good sign for the supposed top side in the AUS conference.
Canes achilles heel is 10. Morgan was actually OK without the control you'd hope. I'm surprised they didn't keep Jordie outside him. PUJ has been an AB but I wouldn't say he's an experienced hand. Who is the consistent 10 going forward? Is it Garden-Bachop, Love or Morgan? We saw how a lack of a consistently solid/good 10 hurt the Blues over the years.

@TheMojoman I hope we stay with the PUJ Sullivan 12,13 in terms of 10s I’d rather they rotate between Love and Morgan.

Love is out injured so I don't know if Holland gives him the nod if healthy. Both are very green though

@canefan At least they both have somewhat of a running game as opposed to JGB who doesn’t and besides the more gametime they get the less green they are.
TJP hand holds both. JGB is so limited, he played well off the bench against the Reds. But he has cement feet and can't set our backline alight

Was bloody annoying that the ref pinged us heaps in in the first 15-20 minutes on 50/50 calls, so was hardly surprising the Reds went out to a pretty big lead in that period... at least after that the ref started to ping both sides.

Yeah it was a dodgy first 15 by the refs, I mean how the hell did they miss that crooked throw by the Reds? One of the worst misses I’ve ever seen. What made it worse was that the Reds gained a penalty a few phases later which got them on the front foot.

That's for sure, in the first quarter the ref let the Reds get away with a lot of stuff - gave them a huge advantage starving us of ball... from a penalty they could either have a crack at a 3pointer, or kick the ball out 40-50 metres downfield & then have the throw in to the lineout as well.
