All Blacks v Pumas 1

Strange old game, we played so well I thought in the first half. For me it was the subbing of the front row at 44min was the turning point. (Argie hooker got subbed at 75th min!), they were dominating and when they went off our attack changed, going a little wider and playing into puma line speed hands. Codie Taylor, awful and has been all year, so has Coles, who is 2nd hooker? also lack of composer in backs. looked rushed again in all we did and like we didn't have plan.

Their Captain, and hooker, still on.

Out coached by Cheika.

Even worse, out coached in defence by Kidwell who almost singlehandedley destroyed the Kiwis and created the Tongan league team.

Second half issues started when we swapped out our entire front row. Those guys had another 5-10 and I would have been tempted to go deeper with Taukei'aho - he was matching Ardie's energy with ball in hand.

Fuck me, 50 seconds and a guaranteed loss on debut for Periofeta?! that is beyond cruel.

Chris

What did Schmidt bring to the attack nothing.

@ARHS Akira hardly got a chance and was playing catch-up in a misfiring team.

They seem to play alright for the Crusaders🤔

Taylor was average as fuck this year for Crusaders.

Can't have been. He played for Razor the Wonder Coach.

Is that code for, he had a shocker like everyone else 😀

TJ

I'm backing Foster, he's building towards a special loss at Eden park and maybe even handing over the Bledisloe.

Yep. Ioane derangement syndrome. What shockers could he do in his short time on the field?

Well done Argies.

ABs very poor.

Most random reffing performance I have seen for some time, well since that Wales v Boks test.

He's simply not up to standard but he wasn't the reason you lost.

Was a factor.

Take him out and we win.

Not convinced

Ref wasn't committing the penalties and throwing the ball in shit

Ref invented penalties, for one side and ignored the other side.

It created the scoreboard pressure. And subsequent panic.

Sure we did stupid shit too.

But change that factor and put a proper ref in charge and that result changes.

Foster just needs time. They will learn and grow from this experience
