Worst ABs performance I've seen in a long time.... 50pts blah blah blah...
It's the 19pts for Japan and the attitude / lack of urgency and not valuing possession at all...

What is it with the current squad and poor second half’s ?

We'll, since the first Wallas test, first Argentina's test...

I really feel this is worse

Bledisloe 2 followed by this debacle is the worst possible prep for whats to come in November.

We are in big trouble.

Tim

How do you not score there? Oh, DMac kicked it away in a completely pointless effort.

No Quarter

Typical final quarter so far

Final 35! Utter wank, the abs are an embarrassment to the Black Jersey

I've only been half watching as the cricket is getting interesting, but yup the exact same problems persist even against the 14th ranked side in the world.

Telea's fault.

KiwiMurph

Looked like a try to me

nostrildamus

how have Love and Laukai looked so far?

Who the f is Laukai?

If you mean Lakai, he’s been solid. Love’s playing on the wing and he just scored.

African Monkey

Nice little crossfield kick there from forum favourite David Havili.

No Quarter

Havili is just comically bad these days, one of the most biased selections in AB history

sorry for typo yes Lakai, did hear about try on radio just meant in general. Perefota sounds up and down and as I type Love gets a second?!

Canes4life

Love in for another.

Victor Meldrew

Move over Cam. Reuben Love is the new GOAT

sparky

A double for Ruben Love. He should have been in the ABs at the start of the year.

Fuck there is some dead weight in this squad, and dead brains in the tactics we are playing

For who?

Frank

Razor will certainly be bringing Mounga back.

nostrildamus

Jordan might have to settle for wing at this rate. But it would be nice to have some speed on the wing.

taniwharugby

def plenty to work on around decision making, particularly when to throw an off-load or kick passes, then there are the unforced errors, makes you wonder if the fitness levels are where they need ot be with such poor decisions as the game wears on

sparky

@booboo Ahead of Perofeta. Easily our second best attacking fullback behind Jordan and the best under the high ball.

I hope so, cos DMac ain't the answer. We'll see next three weeks of Beaudy can run the cutter with a bit more control

Im as disgusted as the next man, but do you blame him.

DMAC and Beaudy are playing like teenagers.

Canes4life

Man I want to see Love and Jordan together but Love at 15 and Jordan on the wing.

Love has "it".

Same as Roigard.

They pass the eye test.

Love could be thrown in at 10 or FB and he wouldnt let you down. Classy.

We need that effervescence in the team.
