I actually rate Hunters game.. no one is going to agree with me. But he is a very good rugby player who tries to see how far he can take every play.

The kicking game is failing. No I don't think is simply a 10 issue. There is rarely a good chase. SO we kick like territory is working for us, then double it up without possession.

Too much fluster from 1 to 15 so far.

I don’t get why Tane is doing the standing high kicks? They are essentially box kicks but easier for the opposition to manage.

Could do with JOC (James O'Connor), Bell coming on. Need one more cool head out there, and someone who is going to tuck the ball and run. Given the possession and territory difference AND the yellow card, you'd honestly just about take a 12 point deficit.

Yep edmed definitely more of a concern that paisama

Will be interesting if he pulls the trigger on JOC (James O'Connor) early in this one

also feels like the type of game that Tate could carve up

Seems like the tactic when nothing is on is pass back to the 10 who is 10m behind everyone else, so no-one is behind the ball to chase, and it just ends up being to easy for the Argies

Lots of people won't like it, but this is why the box kick is plan A for so many of the best teams

In terms of chagnes I'd give Edmed another 10mins after halftime for bit more confidence, and then bring on Tate/JOC (James O'Connor) to take control the game for the last 30mins.

Slipper has put in a solid outing, i'd bring Bell on at half-time.

Hopefully Edmed gets told to shelve the pointless kick. He might as well just pass them the football and wave them through to the tryline

Nothing new there. We have hardly taken possession of a high ball the whole TRC. This match, I don't think we've retained possession on a single kick.

if Williams is replaced will that be such a bad move for the lineouts as he isn't doing that much as happens when he starts ...
need LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on

Toole is great on the kick-chase, but he is losing the aerial battle. Given the number of knock-ons(3 i think?) he has made competing, i would almost prefer he just go for the tackle as soon as they land rather than trying to compete.
