I think he's worth a squad pick for experience but for big games he's better than Dmac

2024 End of Year tour would disagree with you

DMac was sublime vs Ireland

Beauden was mediocre vs England and France. The only reason we beat England is Telea got subbed on for Beauden (and then George Ford shat the bed)

Big game opposition grinning with pleasure at a stunted ABs. Fair play if you enjoy watching that shit show, I wouldn't.

That was DMacs one good game. One. BB was Motm in multiple that year and single handedly responsible for at least two wins.

Is he peak BB? No. Do I wish we had better? Yes. But I don't think Dmac is the answer. BB is better, more consistently until we find the next 10.

Ideally that would have happened 1-2 years ago but it is what it is now.

Fuck! You had me going for a bit, I thought you were serious. Thank goodness.

Segner is not having a good night

Christy is just such a gimp

KiwiMurph

Christe you absolute melt

Sorry, finally succumbed and selected him in FR.

Went with Sotutu as well, hence PT not passing to him.

Bones

Blues jersey is neat.

KiwiMurph

Those Zarn errors creeping in

You cant be doing that

Why are The Blues obsessed with caterpillar rucks?

Since they were talking 2024, for those with short memories England at Eden Park and effectively the reason we won both games.

DMac was poor. Extremely so.

Because they have a 10 who cant punt for distance so they need to kick from 9

Did you see that from Barrett? That was pretttyyyy good

Crazy Horse

BB is like the batsman that keeps finding the field. He knack is uncanny.

Bones

That brilliant experience to know the reds player was going to knock it on and not ground it. Learn from that kids

jimmyb

Segner would be an incredible 7

Don't post this sort of shit when I'm eating my cornflakes. Now I have to clean the carpet again.

KiwiMurph

Another garbage beauden punt

Bones

How about that experience to pop gun it down Daugunu's throat, who returns it back to where it was kicked from.

Was the last pass in a try earlier though, single handedly winning games, beautiful to see.

KiwiMurph

Excellent clear Finlay

His Bobness

The halftime instruction is kick for space and BB just kicks it down the Reds’ throats every bloody time

Which he has done for most of the last decade......

At this stage do we need the words like, .. garbage, terrible etc.... I think its safe to say if BB kicks it ... its shite... or at the very least the wrong option

KiwiMurph

Lovely move

Victor Meldrew

Great move. Equally great defense

Bones

That's the Forbes I know! Basically bundles himself into touch 🤣

Lovely maul, reckon BB was probably watching and breathed in that direction. Amazing talent.

KiwiMurph

Get perofeta on ffs

It’s also the league style passing that has absolutely no benefit whatsoever

Bones

BB looking to create something here.... doesn't touch it for over half a dozen phases.

Bones

BB with the assist, kicked it to touch and got within a few metres of the 5m.

jimmyb

Hahaha dear god

KiwiMurph

Best Blues game Pita Ahki has played

He was excellent

His Bobness

Beauden in his Elvis in Vegas period. Blues better off keeping it in the forwards to spare him having to waste his energy aimlessly punting the ball to the Reds

KiwiMurph

Awful from the Blues

Very lucky

Victor Meldrew

A ginga drops the ball. Unusual

KiwiMurph

Is there not another prop somewhere other than Matega? Surely

Victor Meldrew

That is some try.

Donsteppa

Nicely worked try. At least one bad defensive read ending up in no mans land too.
