@rapido Problem is JTA will only be there this arvo, I guess, short turn around
So, really it's coming down to that they should have selected better.
2 THPs. 2 LHPs, plus Ofa T covering both sides should have been the original 5.
So JTA should have been there all week, Perry should be the one on the plane.
Lesson learnt, I hope.
@mariner4life here's some innovation.

Wasn't that outlawed in the early 90s? I remember David Kirk doing that.

the only way we could disguise that is if it was Luke Whitelock beating a guy with footwork. now THAT would be innovation

@mariner4life I know right, all these shit highlanders selected for the ABs from a side that was obviously garbage in super rugby due to the shit players. How'd the Chiefs go again?

Lol fuck it automatically made them ascending bullet point things
A lot of faith being put in Folau there.
@bones said in Bledisloe I:
@nepia I think it's debatable - seems the infringement would be the scrum half making the opposition think the ball is out of the scrum when it's not. However, if the number 8 picks it up at the same time then I guess there's no infringement.
Who's the laws nerd around here? A ref? Maybe they can offer some insight?

finished ahead of the Highlanders. With an obviously inferior group of individuals. Pretty good effort. Imagine how we would have gone if we had 4 All Black loose forwards instead of just 1?

Why are you making me do work! That's the opposite of why I go on the Fern. :pouting_face:
I'd have thought that 38f would cover it? The 9 is well away from the scrum before the 8 picks up.
@bones said in Bledisloe I:
@nepia is he though?
nah i reckon he is all good. You can't penalise him for running with his back to the opposition. Looks like a standard 8-9 except the #8 ran. woo hoo.
