More lineout practice would be in order for the Argie backs this week.

All Blacks very excited about winning a scrum. Such a common thing down our way we don't even notice anymore .

Well, congrats to the ABs for winning the RC. The game got sloppy and this is a result of giving the depth a chance to play. First half was entertaining.

Ben Smith gives more stability from the back.Naholo is good, but a bit of a fatty. Nothing in comparison to Ioane...
Sonny Bill Williams an improvement at inside centre. Crotty looked better on his outside this week.
Still missing Jaws as the tight five is not as good without him

The game against the Boks will be a dead rubber so we will see what impact that has. Maybe to Boks will play all out and make it exciting. ABs will use it as prep for the RWC.

I thought Naholo has shown improvement overtime, He worked to get involved in this game.

The All Blacks played well, but other teams in the world will see they are beatable. They are vulnerable like other teams to quick ruck ball.
Not a vintage ABS team from 1-15, but lots of strike power to score long-range tries. The whole team competes at the ruck, which can be a major distraction for quick ball retention when teams are attacking them.
The Argentian set piece was the worst it has ever been, with both the scrums and lineouts a shambles.

... i see Beaudy brought his kicking boots with him today thank goodness...great that Hansen moved him to fullback finally so obviously he's getting the message after reading our posts.. but BB looks so much better there and how good was that big hit he put on cutting the poor wee Argie in half...
...a good effort from the whole team though i thought.....SBW and Crotty not too bad a pairing in the centres for a couple that always seem to be injured...and how good is Reiko Iaone, almost another hattrick good...one more scalp left to go next week in SA..
