RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia

[chimoaus]

What is the rule re red cards in tournament, they can’t be replaced can they?

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus nope

[antipodean]

Havili is a fucking donkey. Can't even look good against Namibia.

[kidcalder]

more red cards to come in this tournament - will affect other top teams

[Steve]

Red card for EDG ahahahahahah. Owen Farrell got off initially. Curry gets red + 3 weeks. Taufafenua gets yellow only yesterday. Kriel gets nothing.

The game has no credibility.

Im not defending EDG by the way.

The Allblacks are the most carded international team in the world as it stands and have been since 2017.

[Gunner]

The inconsistencies around red cards is appalling. A real blight on the game.

Roigard x1000 better than Christie.

[Machpants]

Havili is a clown

[chimoaus]

Lomax best be fit for the next game then.

EDG seems to be an absolute meathead.

How is that a meathead? You are committed to a tackle, then the guy gets tackled to change height. It isn't even a shoulder direct to the head, it is a glancing blow and inadvertent. Nothing he could do there, really.

[sparky]

All over. NZ 71 Namibia 3.

Better in lots of ways, but All Blacks discipline very worrying.

[stodders]

@Steve I blame SBW

[Canes4life]

Best three on the park were Roigard, Lester and Dmac

Worst were Ofa, Laulaula and Clarke

[stodders]

@Canes4life Retallick

[sparky]

Cam Roigard.

That’s the post.

[stodders]

@sparky at least Robertson knows he has one decent 9 next year 😬

[taniwharugby]

@Canes4life Dmac was bi-polar in that game, back to his headless worst in the final 15 or so, otherwise very good

[JayCee]

Will EDG be available for the 1/4s?

@Tim said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:

@gt12 Three awful games in a row.

Our props, overall, are a long way away from being a WC group.

EDG has the skill but lacks brains and consistency, Newell and Williams aren’t ready, Ofa and Laulala are defensive liabilities.

None of them can really carry for shit.

[Steven Harris]

@Gunner theres a few back in NZ that are way better than Christie , possibly one of the poorest selections for a RWC squad

Garces certainly opened the proverbial floodgates. And our turning of the other cheek let everyone else ride rough shod over us ever since.
