    • RE: Final: Blues vs Crusaders

      Great tactical coaching by Razor , change the point of attack multiple times,Read the blues line out.
      Pleasing to see some ABs stand up who were selected .
      But a worry some others did not stand up under pressure.
      On to the test season,Heads up Blues supporters your team has come a long way and will only get better.
      Now to get fucking pissed.

    • RE: TRC: The All Blacks against the Springboks (version 98)

      Big worry for me is Foster has no idea as an attack coach
      We are floundering getting much gain at the advantage line and I dont see what we are trying to achieve with the ball in hand at times.

    • RE: Super Rugby missing the Saffas?

      @steven-harris said in Blues vs Moana Pasifika 2022:

      @chris the question i am asking myself at the minute , given what we saw with the All Blacks last yeat , has our forward play in all the NZ super teams dropped dramaticly since the South African teams have left super rugby …?.
      It well be masking over the quality we are seeing

      I am inclined to think our forward play has dropped off since SA teams are no longer in the comp.
      They gave a point of difference in SR,Australia play similar to us so it’s same all the time.
      Our SR teams don’t have the big hard SA packs to play against anymore.

      Sure they didn’t always get the results but the SA teams many times had to go on 4 or 5 week tours to NZ and Australia which took it toll.
      My opinion the SR comp is worse off without SA.

      @No-Quarter said in Drunk Marshall Abuses All Blacks:

      What a dick lol, I half wish Akira had clocked him to teach him a lesson, but then we wouldn't have him for SA.

      He may be a dick and drunk but at least someone who wore the Black jersey is giving it to the players for a few shit years of bringing the AB jersey down to the level it is now..There must be a lot of ex AB's upset at what is happening to the legacy they helped build.

    • RE: All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider

      Foster quotes from this week

      “This is where you want to be in terms of the excitement,” he said. “We don’t want to lose a test, but we have, and to have a big game in front of us like this means the eyes go really quickly from looking back to forward. We’ve had some big days, but that’s the way it should be. The work that’s been done is fantastic.

      **My Question MR Foster do you need to lose to get excited about fronting up in the Black jersey by losing the week before ?.
      Is not pulling on that jersey enough to get the team excited.

      “I can’t wait to play Ireland. We’re learning … well I think we already knew, but everyone else is learning that this is a high-quality team we’re playing. It’s a great examination for us. So we’ve got to show we’re smart and we’re learning as well.”

      What have you learned in the last few years you have been involved not much that I can see.If you already knew it why did we play so. badly.
      Just more BS Dribble with the same outcomes.

      @taniwharugby said in How many Crusaders in your AB 23?:

      @Damo Codie Taylor was poor, missed a crucial tackle and poor throwing, Ethan Blackadder were anonymous.

      I thought Reece was one of thier better players.

      Blackadder didn't play lol

      Haig looks good Holland I like the look of Te Hiwa
      your academy is starting to get it right.
      You will reap the rewards in a few years.

      @Chris I wasn't sure on that...I had seen a social media post with him in Christchurch but the image stuff used at the airport of the ABs not wearing masks had goodhue in it...and right players in the image...musta been a camp they went to

      Yeah that was in Wellington during the Ireland series.

      Smith, Mo’unga, Clarke, Goodhue, Ioane, Reece, Jordan

      Christie, Perofeta, QT/Fainga’anuku

      That’s might be right

      QT ahead of LF because he’s better midfield cover. RI & WJ both cover the wing from the starting XV

      Except Goodhue is still in NZ,Ennor went over as cover for Goodhue.
