Arg 1/2 back passing has been abysmal. Killing any possession they have.

Barrett and Mo must be under orders for the cross field kicks. Let the players read the game, ffs, Foster.

Are we playing Aussie Rules?

What's with the 50/50 bombs to no man's land?(Jordie)

So far the powerful and well drilled Argentina side is keeping the score respectable.

Modern game. Overcoached players unable to think for themselves even if given leeway to do so.

I like the All Black use of the boot. They should stick with it.

This kicking behind looks moronic, but I guess it has a second purpose of keeping the defence back

Don’t throw it. Kick it at the TV. And in All Black style, you’ll miss.

Yes but it no only exposes us for lacking ideas, it also gives possession away

And to continue the quality of AB kicking, Dick Mo blasts it into the posts.

Stop all the disrespectful comments about kicking. We haven’t seen what goes on behind closed doors and aren’t as knowledgeable as we think. Foster, Fox and Plumtree think it’s brilliant and that’s whose opinions matter [/Cane mode]

The guys should have got more points on the board than that. Might as well tried some long range droppies as a couple of those up and unders. Another 10 meters forwards and they could have had a crack.

I don't think Caleb Clarke gets 30 caps. Not sold on him at all.

It's typical of someone who doesn't, deep down, believe that they are there on merit to micro-manage and impose their will on others'. To remove any doubt, that's Foster I talking about.

Not looking to good for the AB coaching team at the mo but you have to have a time limit to give them some chance. October 2023 sound bout right time for judgements.

He definitely isn't as powerful as Julian or Jonah and he looks a little on the short side imo
