Really good from the starting XV apart from Reiko Ioane
Habullshit.
Or shall we just ignore the lack of change out wide for Argentina, the extra space out wide for black, the fuck all line breaks and turnovers in the midfield?
-
- Mighty Williams was great, could be a signature game. Looked like he belonged
- Vaai and Darry surprised how quickly they have adjusted to test rugby. Doing great
- Ardie did ardie things, needs to link when necessary. Leg drive is amazing
- Great game from TJ but still think Ratima should be starting.
- Criticism of DMac last week totally unjustified. He didn't have a forward pack last week
- Attacking dinks are great, defensive dinks are not
- Fast wings make a difference even in the wet.
- JB is great when composed like this week. Again had some forwards this week
- Our scrum is a weapon and you haven't been able to say that very often

Vaai
Yeah man, really quick, only took him 3 years! Finally having one decent game after that short period he might be an absolute legend in as soon as 9 years.
-
Darry and Vaai as a collective.
I knew a missile would be coming -
You have to admit Vaai has found his feet and is enjoying it. Knows he can do it now.
Love his verbals and grin -

I knew a missile would be comingI'm just not sure about the validity of giving Vaai props for Darry stepping up.

Love his verbals and grinIt's one game where he actually stepped up (and not really as a lock), reel it in a bit.
-
Vaai was MOM material today
-
Vaii's best game as an All Black.
Long term I think he is a 6 who can play Lock, rather than the other way around.

Bones he doesn't just lean in the scrum you know.

It was tighthead going up most of the time wasn't it?

Give up while you're not ahead

Should probably look at whether Eden park should host tests if they're gonna be that far short of capacity when it's a sure thing.

You can't confirm?
No I'm cooking and on NZ Villa Maria
Vaai was good end of. -
Yeah unimpressed with that. Couldn’t get 50. It’s one thing to win super rugby trophies, test match footy is another beast. Really needs a cotter and Schmidt coaching ticket. Savea - hopeless. Need sotutu. Need akira. Perenara - hopeless, ratima should have started. Williams - hopeless. Just a token cantab selection. Need more mongrel and physicality.
-
Love the consistent Sotutu and Akira comments. Two players that never really grabbed test rugby until they didn't play.
