That work by Sititi leading up to Reece's try made me think that I was looking at Micheal Jones back on the rugby field. And that is the highest praise I think I can give a young fella.
Good summary and thanks Mark. Agree that Sittiti was amazing and has a great future. With regards to the bench - I believe they were solid and effective. Tosi, Tamaiti, McKenzie, Jacobsen, Tuipolotu, Ratima and Aumua all made a difference when they came on. Best impact off the bench in a while..
It is pleasing to note some steady growth in the ABs. We knew that, at some point the ABs will turn the corner. I think winning or losing, isn't much of a point, but the quality of the game that counts. ABs are in a building phase, and the Aussies as well, Joe is doing great work.....👍! The Australian team isn't done yet!
Hi Mark, a bit of AB magic. With BB on 10 and Jordan on 15, like I have said all along, will deliver results. And the bench came on earlier and the AB broke the Wellington and last 20 minutes voodoo. Impressed with the Wallaby growth. Some areas to polish and they will be an acomplished side again.
@tobysmeiman6921 Hola. Thanks for sharing your view. Alternatively I am far from convinced, but more importantly no depth building remains the trend with Razor. Australia are on the bounce for sure.
@TPRugbyfan exactly and it just shows what can happen when you give the young guys a chance, they can blossom like Sititi, Vaai, and Ratima have done. My gripe is, we havent seen enough of those opportunities for others.
@@insiderugbywithmarkAlso Iose. Darry & Plummer needs time to actually grow… I feel there’s a few players who just need to be given a shot on the park and let’s see.
@@insiderugbywithmark So what 10's would you take? I would like to see him make a tough decision, drop McKenzie and take Barrett, Plummer and Perofetta. I think they are a good mix. Even Brett Cameron as one of the newbies, but I think McKenzie has shown he is not the 10 and Barrett can cover 10 off the bench if the younger players are not performing.
Was also at the game- was an amazing atmosphere and glad we turned it on for the ABs. I thought Dmac off the bench did a v good job. Wallace Sititi is a star in the making as we can all see. Will and Caleb did an excellent job in my humble opinion. Can’t believe we have to wait a month for a game, what will we all do 🤣 Thanks Mark 🙏🏻
@rebeccalockyer I am glad that you enjoyed the game. Fear not my wonderful subscriber. There is a ton of content coming here between the last games and the next.
Great work Mark massive committment getting this video uploaded given its the hour of the wolf for you. My take on the test: Wallabies Pros: Building towards the long term and showing hope for the future which hasn't been felt in recent years esp when Eddie was the coach. Schmidt doing a great job. Great set piece, brave defence and innovative attack. Wallabies Cons: Finishing and ball security. All Blacks Pros: Clarke, Setiti, Vaa'i and Williams. They were simply brilliant. Jordan's locked that fullback jersey; its his. All Blacks Cons: Early penalties conceeded and getting pushed around when defending but the final quarter they adjusted and defended well.
@SioneDunk Thank you kindly. Wallabies, 100% very few of us have been beating their drum, but now after these last two performances people are recognizing what Joe is doing and achieving, its only up from here. The more time he gets with them as a squad it will grow.
Was lucky enough to be at the game and for me it’s clear that Barrett is the better fit at 10 with dmac on the bench and Jordan at fullback. I thought Cortez off the bench with his injection of pace was really positive, and I thought ALB was very solid. Seen enough of rieko and Reece, can’t wait to see fainga’anuku back in black
@marlonchung2407 awesome hope you enjoyed it at the game. I wasnt at the game and still feel Barrett isnt the solution for 10 and we havent any depth in that position for starting No 10 at all. Reiko and Reece yes agree, but dont hold your breath.
Barrett was original fly half. Richie replaced him and he went to fullback /utility player. Dmack was pushed to 10 but he was not ready. Beauden at flyhalf made the difference today. Jordan needs to be retained at fullback
@@insiderugbywithmarkmaybe judge bb after he’s had as many games at 10 as dmac. Hadn’t played there for 2 years. He was great, slick passing as always.
Oh yes. McKenzie a bench player. Available guys should play to glue themselves to the starting 23. With Leister and Richie on their way back it might become harder to play yourself into the match day 23.
Ratima didn't inject pace, in fact he seemed slightly more hesitant than TJ when he came on. We will have Roigard back in action next year, that'll help.
Beginning to think some New Zealand rugby fans have no idea what they’re talking about and just hate Beauden Barrett because he isn’t Dan Carter. Barrett was great today but for some reason people are way to critical of him if he doesn’t have a perfect game. The backline looked way better with him running the show with excellent passing. DMac looked more comfortable when he comes on as a secondary ball handler and runner. I’m glad we’re finally seeing changes for this team. Ratima should be starting and Ioane should be on the bench.
@@Youllneverfindmezx well with due respect so they should be as the hate dmacs got is well un called for also. Same standards must apply. BB wasn’t his old running self which is a shame, I’d take dmac any day on that, just the tactics have maybe changed a bit also.
@Youllneverfindmezx why do you have to use the word ¨hate¨ , is it a social media thing is it. An opinion that differs from yours doesnt have to be labelled as anything other than a difference of opinion. Back in the day we didnt even have to explain that, but it appears these days it needs explaining.
@@spottersworld3135 and bb is on last games performance? his stats are shocking, yes he did the basics ok, was fairly calm but no running, some avg kicking to no one, fumbled the ball that the ausies nearly scored off, penalty touch finder kept in, next penalty shanked sideways for 5 metre gain 15 metres out, missed conversion and a tackle or 2, and was pretty soft in his other cou-Le of attempts. Dmac ain’t been perfect either but he’s made metres and at least makes it exciting to watch again, the 12/13 combo outside him has meant he’s had to try create everything from 10 against some tough defence. but every news article or opinion peace is crying for BB to be back in the saddle at 10. No line breaks… he used to be the highlight reel darling, and a fav of mine till the rush defence was perfected. Would have rather seen Plumbs have a run, or someone else if a boring traditional 10 is what’s wanted.. He benefited from having some smarts in ALB inside all game and the ausies were giving us heaps of space for some reason…
Yeah they did pull their big boy pants on and played for full 80 mins. Why wouldn't they win in Wellington with Beauden playing at no 10 with TJ by his side....this is the pairing the caketin approves. ❤😊
@jackiejones690 they played well against the 10th ranked team in world rugby who admit they are still a ways away from being the finished product. A win is a win and good for morale, but bigger challenges await in the not too distant future.
Sititi is our best forward by far.Sititi and Savea played well together. They combine well together.Sititi has highest work rate of any the players. Caleb Clarke is best winger in the world too.
@markrutherford6010 thanks for sharing your view. I think Cheslin Kolbe, James Lowe, Damien Penaud, K.L Arendse, Duhan Van der Merwe, Matteo Carraras might have a word to say on your last sentence.
Fully agree Mark, the AB's have still not addressed some of their key positions. Players are playing out of position, or, just in poor form, by missing tackles and not reading the game. Great commentary on the game.
I liked the game. Both teams showed great character and determination. Congrats to TJP and SC for their contributions to the game. Reiko should be in the wing. Looking forward to the team selection for the northern hemisphere tour.
And Mark do not forget if you have Will Jordan on the Wing and he has to be moved to Fullback for some reason , then you could use Shaun Stevenson and that could be really interesting D Mac, Beauden , Will, and Shaun ,
Suprised AB scrum not more on top .. Clarke is critical for the AB .. heaven forbid he gets injured .. Sititi is just a hurricane !! What a force .. gotta give Schmidt so much credit in turning the Aussies around .. well with the players they have .. taken Razor a while and AB still not really clicking ..
I agree. However as Mark knows and I have said in some of his posts: my EOYT squad De Groot, Taukeiaho*, Lomax Vaai, Barrett Sititi, Blackadder and Savea* Ratima, Plummer Clarke, ALB, Proctor, Ioane Jordan Bench (5-3) Aumua/Bell, Tosi, Williams, Tuipolotu, Papalii Roigard/Hotham*, DMac and Jordie BB & DMac are interchangeable in their 10/15 positions but BB would rather be at 10. DMac always been a 15 in my eyes. Jordie comes in at 12. However, I’d rest BB for EOYT because he will always be a class player. In his stead bring in McLeod, Fihaki, Love. Scrum halves: Ratima, Roigard and Hotham - ALL 3 have different types of game but both provide quick ball. Ireland & France game: Roigard and Ratima; Roigard and Hotham I think Scotland and Japan. If Taukeiaho is healthy then starting hooker. Rest Taylor for EOYT, maybe play him Irish game. There is some nice depth building but Razor needs to play and shuffle a few players around in the match against Japan.
Jordan and Barrett combined well and I think it showed a more stable rather than flashy 10 suits this team. Giving it to the forwards to make ground as Barrett was and then releasing the backs after ground was made worked alot better than the game McKenzie tried to play. Still not impressed by Reece. If Jordan is to stay at 15 then Robertson needs to try Narawa or others on that side. He needed to have used Procter off the bench so he could put him into a starting side in my opinion and Sititi has shown he is the answer at 6. We have 8's throughout NZ who can take that position but no 6's. Blackadder is good from the lineout point of view but he has no penetration and he is not dominant enough round the breakdown. Now Sam Cane has probably gone we are looking more at a 7 such as Lakai or Savea. If Savea goes there then we need a ball player to complement them. Robertson needs to swallow his pride and go to Sotutu. He is the obvious choice.
Hi Mark. 💯 % appreciation for Cane. 👍 to TJ. Well refereed match. Plummer @ 10 , Havilli/ALB and Proctor as midfield trial run. Ruben Love @ 15. If the way forward isn't going to be a trial and error approach I might as well watch the highlights of the matches.
Plummer offers very little over BB or D-Mac at number 10 and thats a fact.He Plummer has done nothing above and beyond to get a start against a top team or an average team .Japan maybe .
Cheers Mark. Mostly agree. I'm unconvinced nz has a starting test level 10 in the squad (and even in the country). I'm more convinced tuipulotu/vaai to start, with a Blackadder 6, Savea 7, Sititi 8 back row. Scott Barrett, who I'm a fan of, has had an off year. Injured during SRP, possibly still unfit? Cane, great servant but reckon he's lost a step. It seemed our breakdown is still being targeted by opponents, and i don't think that's a selection issue. The players are good enough. ALB did a lot, Proctor neeeeeeeds an opportunity. Unsure what he has to do. Very happy with our outside backs stocks. Jordan at 15 😉 Oz seems an extremely well coached team playing above themselves. More experience and consistent selection and they'll be pushing the top 5. They're progessing with their scrum, lineout and kickoff reception (k/off recptn could only improve). Unsure they'll be doing so this season tho
@Thudsrayz hey thanks man. Your back row I agree with. Scott Barrett I agree. Ok, re your Jordan thing. If you have B Barrett and DMAC in the team then as we saw DMAC is better coming off then bench, Depth in the No 10 shirt is non existent. Re Australia, dont think they played above themselves, I think that is their new base line and are getting better and better thanks to Joe S.
Blackadder is not an international 6. Name me a player better than Sititi at 6? If Savea goes to 7 then we need Sotutu or Iose at 8. Sotutu would complement the other 2 better but it's a matter of Robertson admitting he's wrong and selecting him. On previous experience I can't see him doing that and he doesn't have a voice to give opinions now as assistants are just yes men.
@@markreilly105 Sititi looks like the makings of a generational player, similar to zinzan Brooke. That is, the selection policy is simply to get him on the field any way possible, which might mean 6 for now. I personally don't want him tied up in tight defensive works that a 6 is often drawn into, even tho he can certainly do the job. I want him carrying off the back of scrums and linking with the backline. Of the players in the current squad, Blackadder is extremely capable of mixing the tight stuff, long periods of defence, and doing the dirty work shifting bodies at rucks. Imo, Sotutu and Sititi are competing for the same role, classic NZ no8 work, and Sititi is first pick. So I guess I disagree that Sotutu complements Savea and Sititi. I reckon they'd trip over each other. That's just my theory tho
Hi Mark, Awesome Comments. My AB team 2025: 15.Jordie14.Jordan13.Billy.P 12.Quin Tupia11.Rieko10.Plummer 9.Roigard8.Sitit7.Ardie6.Tupouu Vaai5.Fabian Holland. 4.Scott B3.Lomax2.Samusoni1.Ethan de Groot
Sititi has done immensely more in the Black jersey in the 6-7 tests he's played this year compared to the 2-3 years of tests they've tried to get Sotutu to fire in that All Balcks backrow. Absolute night and day difference. Sotutu should look at moving overseas, to be honest, cause it's hard to see him breaking into the squad or getting anywhere near it.
Good assessment Mark. Beauden Barret, ALB, Sititi, Tupou Vaai, Clarke and Jordan played well I thought. Cane, Reiko, TJ, Havili, Reece, Dmac and Jacobson need to go. Bring on the young blood to replace these guys. Crazy seeing Proctor in his number ones in the stands and not out on the field.
An improvement from last week Jorden looking good at full back , Beauden at 10, ALB is in the right position would like to see proctor come in and rico move to the wing - Seve really lucky to be there (Enmoi N and Plumer for the bench)
Rieko Edward Ioane. Ioane has attacking skill but needs a better kick. A good coach can make a solid defensive centre, but no coach can manufacture a Frank Bunce without some intrinsic DNA assistance (meaning from childhood the dude needs to have learned the importance of never missing a tackle). So for me, Ioane is on the wing or gets the fling.
Hey Mark. Really appreciate all of your thoughts and reviews! Think youve made some great points across the Rugby champs! I feel for Razor (even though Im a Bok fan) as its tough to mix building depth and getting results as a new coach! But just looking at a guy like Wallace Sititi and how well he has done when given a chance.. and a guy like Ratima, Id have been encouraged to blood a few new players across the tournament, especially looking at a guy like Plummer or Ruben Love.. if theyre in the squad it would be great to give them more of a chance. But again its a tough balance! Good luck for your end of year tour! The ABs are way too good and way too skillful a team to not get consistent results.
Wanted to see Barrett back at 10, it worked tonight regardless of his overall game. Jordans line off his pass scythed the Wallabies open as happened too often today. That try before HT after the wallabies retook the lead was old school typical ABs. The Wallabies never really recovered from that. No 2nd half revival this week. Im not sure what to think of Wallabies so far under JS. Look better than Eddie but seem no better than Dave Rennie in my view. Look forward to seeing them in the flesh Murrayfield 24th Nov. Cant believe Autumn tests are a few weeks away, Boks for us too this year. Bring it on.
Beauden was great at his job...look back again and you can see he is always there,tackling, feeding and moving the ball where it is needed. Should get more cudos
@@jackiejones690 I wasnt saying he wasnt olaying well, i was just wanting to see if he would have a bigger imoact at 10 than D Mac as i believe he is a better fit if you want a morerisk free option. The forwards did have a bigger influence particularily going forward and ensured a good platform for distribution in the backs. I dont see D mac having the influence in the AB shirt yet he has at club level. I can only go on highlights though for Super rugby as its not feasible being in Scotland to watch games, i will stay up late, get up early for the tests though. So my opinions may be skewed by not seeing either playing 80 mins every week.
Two things - Allblacks need to get rid of the box kicking ,the first one led to an Australian try . Secondly Havilli is not a test player , never has been
Gotta love Cancun! Thoughts… WJ is a great player, he’s a little restricted when playing on the wing as at fullback he has better vision of the game and this is his preferred position. DMac can be impatient at times and he’s the kind of player that is great at impact when he is patient (off the bench) Plummer would be amazing with some ease into the team and would be my preferred, after Richie. Cane has experience, but seems to miss on the big moments. Wallace is the next best thing! The midfield needs Billie and Jordie, Billie will elevate Jordie. It is clear there are some hangover from Fozzie and the team is still growing. They need time together on the field as Fozzie’s over experimentation with players playing out of position and changing teams every week has hurt the ABs. Like your analysis of the games and teams, you present clear and precise. Cheers
@ptdvll indeed gotta love Cancun and do. Ok, going to share my two pesos worth if I may. Will Jordan 31 tries from 33 games on the wing, restricted? DMAC off the bench, yes agree. Plummer yes, would had liked to see him sooner than later, eg..Against Fiji, and Australia. Cane will be invaluable on Northern Tour Im picking Wallace.......so far, so great On Billy yes, not hot on Jordie still. Maybe Ireland will take him and we can have Bundee Aki :-) On the Fozzie point I say this. The day Scott Robertson walked into the job it was his calls. No one was saying he had to do what Fozzie did or have a gun to his head. Thank you for the positive feedback and for your comment
Yes definite improvements. Still concerned that there is no methodical approach to creating a continuous buildup towards a score. Almost all points come from broken play counter attacks. Whilst its great the ABs have the ability to conjure up a try, against better teams learning how to continue set phase play after play and pressure teams repeatedly is something i havent seen yet and will be very necessary come northern tour where teams have better defensive screens and its needed to break them down. Also no set piece play plans, just tap and barge. Missing some attacking plays or ideas. Lineout improved markedly. Sotiti and Tupo vai look finds of the season, esp sotiti.
Mark, I thought Scott Barrett had his best game of the test series this year. Reiko is better on the wind in my view with Proctor at 13. Cortez Ratima sped the game up significantly when he came on. Will Jordan is getting his form back and belongs at 15. Best 80 minute All Black performance of the year with excellent defensive effort of the team.
@chrisfindlay5963 I hear you on Scott Barrett.......I can change my opinion perhaps on Jordan at Fullback, but I can not cross the bridge on Ioane at 13.
@@insiderugbywithmark I meant Reiko on the wing, I think he is a better winger, he is more involved in the game in that he can chase the high ball and his speed and strength come into play more. I don't think he has the defensive understanding at 13 although he is a big guy and can tackle.
Mark, thank you for your views!!! BB isn’t the answer! BB & DMac on bench for Ireland & France games EOYT. I hope Razor can take a 36-man squad with critical positions still up in the air. Locks, loose trio, flyhalf, centres and fullback. Can’t wait for your post when you discuss the EOYT. 5 games left for ABs - will Razor be brave enough to experiment? 🤷🏽🤞🏽
Cheers Mark I agree with you ,I can only imagine if players like Peter lakai,or Duplessi kerifi got some exsposure at this level just to name a couple of young up and comers in new zealand how they would go looking at the success of satiti but I cant see that happening its like to many gun young players is a bit much for this coaching staff or they arent brave enough for change.When they pick the team for the Northern Hemisphere tour how many new players do you think will be introduced?cheers
Frustrating players like Reiko, TJ, BB, do some great things and then do some stupid/inaccurate things. In the past i have defended Reiko but he is so up and down i really think he must be on his last chance - or should be.
I enjoyed the game and it showed that having BB at 10 vastly improved the backline play. It also showed that DMAC is not the answer at 10 but a great impact player. I would rather see a scenario of starting or blooding new players at #10 and having BB either start or come off the bench if things go tits up. BB I don't see getting to the next RWC but it is important to have him in the team just for his experience alone to help guide the new younglings coming through.
Not very happy with the performance , i felt the wallbies should have done more in the early stages and ABs were average througth out the game . lets hope Billy proctor gets a shot against japan
@@allblacks9100 I think you may be pushing it. He will have played 2 games against low quality opposition. Robertson should have had him on the bench instead of using Telea and Reece. Then we could have seen him against stronger opposition.
It's difficult to pinpoint our team's playing style. Our strategy isn't clear. We do seek space out wide, but so does every team. It's difficult to judge us on these two tests against the Wallabies. They're at a low ebb so we should be cautious about blowing our trumpets. What's certain is that Razor will likely select this same lineup for the big upcoming northern tour tests, so in terms of building a squad, that's one year down 2.5 to go..
@Generative_Midi_ yes, in that sense we are no different than Portugal, they play an open expansive game as well. I havent seen any team be able to do that for 80 mins, the Springboks even couldnt do it today for a 20min period of the game.
@@insiderugbywithmark Yep, and just on that utterly predictable result: it's not so much that Argentina can beat anyone on their day, it's that the ABs and the Springboks are able to turn in stinkers. To me it indicates the quality of the international game at this point. There are no genuine champion teams on show right now. It's close between them, but the standard is down. World rugby needs the ABs to rise again. As for Argentina, they're flaky.
Some honest thinking, People forget they are forgetting, for me a world champion during world cup must not loose one game, if loose then champion who have lost. 1995 wc boks beat all, and were worthy champs, but the last two , Having lost a game and u are still champ. Not beating the same team u lost against. The rugby world Cup became interesting
@frankvsnschalkwyk6030 I think the winner of the World Cup will always be the team who reaches the final and wins the final. Cant see much movement on that.
The aussie big boys looked gassed after about half an hour. They were working so hard for their points. They were putting hundreds of phases to get to the line. Nz had the ball for 2 seconds and came away with a try. The fact they kept slugging away is a credit to Australia. Ps Tupoi Vaa'i is another great find IMHO
Thought we were a bit clunky in the first half but give credit to the Wallabies for competing and making the ABs work for it. Beauden isn't the answer at 10 and his goalkicking isn't good enough imo to win us tight games. Thought Dmac was good off the bench with his pace and creativity. Tosi also provided good bench impact with a couple of strong ruck turnovers and carries. Tuipulotu also added some grunt off the bench with strong carries and good lineout work. Cortez definitely needs to start and can't wait to see Roigard back as an impact player. 12 and 13 definitely looked pedestrian and defensively Reiko got caught out on more than one occasion.
I think the score flattered NZ a bit. I hate to think what Joe Schmidt could have done as head coach for the ABs, when you consider the massive advantage NZ have when it comes to cattle and availability of experienced players.
Great game and a big improvement. There are more than a few positives it eg Sititi, performance in the last 20. To be upfront, I think some things came to light. 1. Ioane is not in form - The combo of Jordie B and Billy Proctor I think is worth picking. 2.HB. Time tyo go with Hotham, Cortez and Roigard for the tour. TJ makes too many mistakes. 4. Loose forward mix is a WIP. Blackadder would be a better option at 7 or as an impact player. 5. Aumua is not in the same class as Samisoni Taukei'aho yet. He is more of super rugby player. 6. DMAC looks more suited to being an impact player than a 10. 7. Pasilio Tosi looks more suited as a reserve prop than Newell.
@ManMountain1974 my responses to yours if you are interested. 1. Ioane out to wing. Clarke at 12, Proctor at 13 2. Yes agree 3. you didnt have one 4. Blackadder 6, Savea 7, Sititi 8 5. Agree 6. DMAC bench yes 7. Yes agree
Yes, some good tries, but for me our defence was outstanding. As for 10, Beauden was fine, but he’s not the future. We must use Plummer at least in the Japan/ Italy games as a prelude to the Big Three. Dmac off the bench. Scott B showed a bit more leadership. Still more penalties and yet another yellow card late in the game. But we are beginning to see confidence and at last we played 80 minutes. ALB stepped up which was good to see.
Much better performance from the AB's but for me they are still lacking that clinical edge that we used to see from them in previous times. Sititti and Jordan were brilliant and Dmack when he came on made an impact. Encouraging signs but how will they cope against the likes of Ireland, England and France in November? I don't think either of those 3 teams will ever underestimate them but they won't be too nervous either. Let's wait and see. As for Australia, they put in a good shift but again were unable to put in an 80 minute performance. Joe Schmidt is doing a good job though. It's going to take a wee bit more time and patience but there's definitely green shoots sprouting which is good to see. They'll get there. "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time" - Leo Tolstoy
@vladtheinhaler6579 Tolstoy was under the influence when he penned that quote. ¨Time and tide waits for no man¨, Geoffrey Chaucer is more applicable and the AB´s will need to shift gears to play against Three rush defenses and backlines that will test their ability to cover the field for 80mins.
14:22 hey! Keep going with this channel you are amazing eh! When talking about the bench in this game, I personally disagree here. I thought that tosi, Williams, Aumua, Jacobson, ratima and Dmac all made amazing contributions, I really saw Jacobson get stuck in with his tackles and work around the ruck in a way I have not seen this whole championship. I particularly thought tosi was outstanding especially over the ball - he got 2 or 3 big turnovers and was having a really strong overall game and impact! And I personally believe he is cementing his spot over newel in the 18. Jersey. Keep growing these players, bring in tokeaho and proctor into the mix and I think you have the makings of a defusal to the bomb squad!
I think we saw how much ebtter our atk was with a proper 12 in ALB as well. Jordie hinders out atk at 12. Push JB back to 15, keep Jordan on the wing and bring Beaudy off the bench to cover 15. Hes clearly not a ten anymore.
Its up to the players to implement the plan, so far they haven't been, you can see the frustration on coaches face, we got some awsome youngsters to come and id like to see them all on the park at same time.
I thought this was the only game so far, apart from Fiji, that we could’ve given minutes to some of Love/Procter/ Bell/ Hotham but don’t criticize them looking for selection continuity, cos the team hasn’t been gelling like it did today. Good step up both teams. TJ past his best, hopefully Roigard back for NH Still think our coaches should ban box kick from base - unless it’s for the line. Ban high kick down the middle to hand also - both teams conceded tries to these pointless, giveaway possession kicks. We’ll need to defend high kicks in NH but our dna expansive play needs possession, not the kicking away of it. We gotta aim to impose our running game off the 2 running 10’s we have and was so effective today. Our young forward pack should become ever more dominant over this WC cycle = more set piece dominance, mobility to breakdown /support play and go forward platform for backs to run off to come. We’ match up to NH packs now but will have to match up in discipline v their defences. This is a much better AB’s than lost to Pumas, the whole group is evolving. Vaii, Blackadder, Sititi have been huge emerging forces and Taylor’s mobility and positioning creates a lot. They don’t rate Papalii, need to get Lakai in for NH then.
Hi Mark, agree mostly I'm just not keen to see us build a team around beaudy we have to bring in the young bloods. Jordan will be the ABs fullback, not sure how Reiko stays he's been average for a long time. Was always a better winger. TJ made at least 5 errors but also needs to go and time for Sam Cane to let the new guys in 6 blackadder, 7 Ardie 8 Satiti is lethal. I think our forward pack has been the best in championship overall, its our backline that misfire's. ALB's passing game was on point. Havilli shouldn't be an all black. Plummer and Proctor will start Japan game so we get to finally see the future.
Scooter had a better game but still is not himself. Tuipulotu is a better 4 currently. Against this side, no offence to Joe Schmidt, it is hard to get too excited. We have to remember Australia is made up of Super Rugby players just like us.
For me it was simple. No Jodie Barrette, AB improve we will c in North tour, accept when the back to Three brother Jordie my worry contnue. Question How many times ALB AND RIEKO CENTERS, accept to day and come as sub, we 2 fast critical , forgetting it was Fozzy b4. By the way Mark podcast my 1st and only subs ribe, by the way, me a PhD in math education, thatz why I like numbers to help direct thinking
You state that Rieko Ioane missed 3 tackles in central midfield just in the first half, please can you put the game times of when these misses happened? The match stats suggest that he only missed two tackles all game, the same as Clarke, Cane, Havili and Jordan. Personally, I saw nothing wrong with his defence.

That work by Sititi leading up to Reece's try made me think that I was looking at Micheal Jones back on the rugby field. And that is the highest praise I think I can give a young fella.
@tonylittle3508 exactly the comparison I made.
I agree with you Mark- Wallace Sititi is outstanding a real man of the match performance.He's been the real find of the season so far!
@seanpinkey8798 exactly he has been as he was given a go to show what he has, unlike Plummer, Proctor, Love and Perofeta and others.
Good summary and thanks Mark. Agree that Sittiti was amazing and has a great future.
With regards to the bench - I believe they were solid and effective. Tosi, Tamaiti, McKenzie, Jacobsen, Tuipolotu, Ratima and Aumua all made a difference when they came on. Best impact off the bench in a while..
@AB_Sanj OK, thanks so much for sharing your views.
It is pleasing to note some steady growth in the ABs. We knew that, at some point the ABs will turn the corner. I think winning or losing, isn't much of a point, but the quality of the game that counts. ABs are in a building phase, and the Aussies as well, Joe is doing great work.....👍! The Australian team isn't done yet!
@kennethmacibela4463 thanks so much for sharing your views on the ABs and Australia.
Thanks for your dedication, Mark. Always look forward to hearing your thoughts and analysis after a game.
@isaacu2077 thank you kindly.
Always for the love of the game
Hi Mark, a bit of AB magic. With BB on 10 and Jordan on 15, like I have said all along, will deliver results. And the bench came on earlier and the AB broke the Wellington and last 20 minutes voodoo. Impressed with the Wallaby growth. Some areas to polish and they will be an acomplished side again.
@tobysmeiman6921 Hola. Thanks for sharing your view. Alternatively I am far from convinced, but more importantly no depth building remains the trend with Razor. Australia are on the bounce for sure.
Gosh Sititi has been a find this season ! Huge future that guy. Hope Peter Lakai gets a chance by being picked for northern tour.
@TPRugbyfan exactly and it just shows what can happen when you give the young guys a chance, they can blossom like Sititi, Vaai, and Ratima have done. My gripe is, we havent seen enough of those opportunities for others.
@@insiderugbywithmarkAlso Iose.
Darry & Plummer needs time to actually grow… I feel there’s a few players who just need to be given a shot on the park and let’s see.
@@insiderugbywithmark So what 10's would you take? I would like to see him make a tough decision, drop McKenzie and take Barrett, Plummer and Perofetta. I think they are a good mix. Even Brett Cameron as one of the newbies, but I think McKenzie has shown he is not the 10 and Barrett can cover 10 off the bench if the younger players are not performing.
Was also at the game- was an amazing atmosphere and glad we turned it on for the ABs. I thought Dmac off the bench did a v good job. Wallace Sititi is a star in the making as we can all see. Will and Caleb did an excellent job in my humble opinion.
Can’t believe we have to wait a month for a game, what will we all do 🤣
Thanks Mark 🙏🏻
@rebeccalockyer I am glad that you enjoyed the game. Fear not my wonderful subscriber. There is a ton of content coming here between the last games and the next.
Great work Mark massive committment getting this video uploaded given its the hour of the wolf for you. My take on the test:
Wallabies Pros: Building towards the long term and showing hope for the future which hasn't been felt in recent years esp when Eddie was the coach. Schmidt doing a great job. Great set piece, brave defence and innovative attack.
Wallabies Cons: Finishing and ball security.
All Blacks Pros: Clarke, Setiti, Vaa'i and Williams. They were simply brilliant. Jordan's locked that fullback jersey; its his.
All Blacks Cons: Early penalties conceeded and getting pushed around when defending but the final quarter they adjusted and defended well.
@SioneDunk Thank you kindly.
Wallabies, 100% very few of us have been beating their drum, but now after these last two performances people are recognizing what Joe is doing and achieving, its only up from here. The more time he gets with them as a squad it will grow.
Was lucky enough to be at the game and for me it’s clear that Barrett is the better fit at 10 with dmac on the bench and Jordan at fullback. I thought Cortez off the bench with his injection of pace was really positive, and I thought ALB was very solid. Seen enough of rieko and Reece, can’t wait to see fainga’anuku back in black
@marlonchung2407 awesome hope you enjoyed it at the game. I wasnt at the game and still feel Barrett isnt the solution for 10 and we havent any depth in that position for starting No 10 at all. Reiko and Reece yes agree, but dont hold your breath.
Barrett was original fly half. Richie replaced him and he went to fullback /utility player. Dmack was pushed to 10 but he was not ready. Beauden at flyhalf made the difference today. Jordan needs to be retained at fullback
@@insiderugbywithmarkmaybe judge bb after he’s had as many games at 10 as dmac. Hadn’t played there for 2 years. He was great, slick passing as always.
Oh yes. McKenzie a bench player. Available guys should play to glue themselves to the starting 23. With Leister and Richie on their way back it might become harder to play yourself into the match day 23.
Ratima didn't inject pace, in fact he seemed slightly more hesitant than TJ when he came on. We will have Roigard back in action next year, that'll help.
Beginning to think some New Zealand rugby fans have no idea what they’re talking about and just hate Beauden Barrett because he isn’t Dan Carter. Barrett was great today but for some reason people are way to critical of him if he doesn’t have a perfect game. The backline looked way better with him running the show with excellent passing. DMac looked more comfortable when he comes on as a secondary ball handler and runner. I’m glad we’re finally seeing changes for this team. Ratima should be starting and Ioane should be on the bench.
@@Youllneverfindmezx well with due respect so they should be as the hate dmacs got is well un called for also. Same standards must apply. BB wasn’t his old running self which is a shame, I’d take dmac any day on that, just the tactics have maybe changed a bit also.
@@Youllneverfindmezx Or isn’t from Canterbury?
@@anthonyturner5319no body hates Dmac, he just isn’t good enough to be 10 for the ABs
@Youllneverfindmezx why do you have to use the word ¨hate¨ , is it a social media thing is it.
An opinion that differs from yours doesnt have to be labelled as anything other than a difference of opinion. Back in the day we didnt even have to explain that, but it appears these days it needs explaining.
@@spottersworld3135 and bb is on last games performance? his stats are shocking, yes he did the basics ok, was fairly calm but no running, some avg kicking to no one, fumbled the ball that the ausies nearly scored off, penalty touch finder kept in, next penalty shanked sideways for 5 metre gain 15 metres out, missed conversion and a tackle or 2, and was pretty soft in his other cou-Le of attempts. Dmac ain’t been perfect either but he’s made metres and at least makes it exciting to watch again, the 12/13 combo outside him has meant he’s had to try create everything from 10 against some tough defence. but every news article or opinion peace is crying for BB to be back in the saddle at 10. No line breaks… he used to be the highlight reel darling, and a fav of mine till the rush defence was perfected. Would have rather seen Plumbs have a run, or someone else if a boring traditional 10 is what’s wanted.. He benefited from having some smarts in ALB inside all game and the ausies were giving us heaps of space for some reason…
Wallace Satitti reminds me of Michael Jones
Me too
Yeah they did pull their big boy pants on and played for full 80 mins. Why wouldn't they win in Wellington with Beauden playing at no 10 with TJ by his side....this is the pairing the caketin approves. ❤😊
@jackiejones690 they played well against the 10th ranked team in world rugby who admit they are still a ways away from being the finished product. A win is a win and good for morale, but bigger challenges await in the not too distant future.
Sititi is our best forward by far.Sititi and Savea played well together.
They combine well together.Sititi has highest work rate of any the players.
Caleb Clarke is best winger in the world too.
@markrutherford6010 thanks for sharing your view. I think Cheslin Kolbe, James Lowe, Damien Penaud, K.L Arendse, Duhan Van der Merwe, Matteo Carraras might have a word to say on your last sentence.
Fully agree Mark, the AB's have still not addressed some of their key positions. Players are playing out of position, or, just in poor form, by missing tackles and not reading the game. Great commentary on the game.
@LesBaynes thank you kindly
I liked the game. Both teams showed great character and determination. Congrats to TJP and SC for their contributions to the game. Reiko should be in the wing. Looking forward to the team selection for the northern hemisphere tour.
@RexJebamoney thanks so much for the comment
Joe Schmidt is a perfect fit for Australia.
@Hatunrumioc he´s doing well, yes
Cheers Mark, appreciate your reaction and review of the match thank you
Rieko has always been a weak point for us, there are times he shines, but more often than not he misses tackles and fails to pass when he should.
@ashinch0r many people rate him, many people dont.
Outstanding winger over the years, however a very average centre.
And Mark do not forget if you have Will Jordan on the Wing and he has to be moved to Fullback for some reason , then you could use Shaun Stevenson and that could be really interesting D Mac, Beauden , Will, and Shaun
,
@@lawrenceadams1649 Stevenson is completely useless in defence, will never be an All Black again.
@lawrenceadams1649 many have told me in the past that Stevenson is fragile in defense. Is that the case or ?
Suprised AB scrum not more on top .. Clarke is critical for the AB .. heaven forbid he gets injured .. Sititi is just a hurricane !! What a force .. gotta give Schmidt so much credit in turning the Aussies around .. well with the players they have .. taken Razor a while and AB still not really clicking ..
@Temp-z4u many under estimate this Wallaby pack. There front row is very, very good, two good locks and their back three will become immense.
‼️THIS should be our squad for end of year‼️
Williams, Taylor, Lomax
Vaai, Barrett
Sititi, Blackadder, Savea.
Ratima, Beauden
Clarke, Jordie, ALB, Rieko
Jordan.
Taukeiaho, Tosi, DeGroot
Tuipulotu, Papalii
Roigard, DMac, Proctor
@Lesssvav thanks for sharing your squad. I will put out a video next week with my thoughts around this topic
I agree. However as Mark knows and I have said in some of his posts: my EOYT squad
De Groot, Taukeiaho*, Lomax
Vaai, Barrett
Sititi, Blackadder and Savea*
Ratima, Plummer
Clarke, ALB, Proctor, Ioane
Jordan
Bench (5-3)
Aumua/Bell, Tosi, Williams, Tuipolotu, Papalii
Roigard/Hotham*, DMac and Jordie
BB & DMac are interchangeable in their 10/15 positions but BB would rather be at 10. DMac always been a 15 in my eyes.
Jordie comes in at 12. However, I’d rest BB for EOYT because he will always be a class player. In his stead bring in McLeod, Fihaki, Love.
Scrum halves: Ratima, Roigard and Hotham - ALL 3 have different types of game but both provide quick ball. Ireland & France game: Roigard and Ratima; Roigard and Hotham I think Scotland and Japan.
If Taukeiaho is healthy then starting hooker. Rest Taylor for EOYT, maybe play him Irish game. There is some nice depth building but Razor needs to play and shuffle a few players around in the match against Japan.
fxxxx rieko and Reese must go,
Tosi made good impact i thought. Dmac some good runs. Havili a great pass to no one.
Great match report ,Our half back Penera missed a kick to touch and a crucial knock on from our penalty.Tries by pressure and speed .
Tjoe TJ AND CANE GAVE ME STREZZ, THEY MUST BRING NEW ONE WITH RATEMA
Thanks for sharing
Jordan and Barrett combined well and I think it showed a more stable rather than flashy 10 suits this team. Giving it to the forwards to make ground as Barrett was and then releasing the backs after ground was made worked alot better than the game McKenzie tried to play. Still not impressed by Reece. If Jordan is to stay at 15 then Robertson needs to try Narawa or others on that side. He needed to have used Procter off the bench so he could put him into a starting side in my opinion and Sititi has shown he is the answer at 6. We have 8's throughout NZ who can take that position but no 6's. Blackadder is good from the lineout point of view but he has no penetration and he is not dominant enough round the breakdown. Now Sam Cane has probably gone we are looking more at a 7 such as Lakai or Savea. If Savea goes there then we need a ball player to complement them. Robertson needs to swallow his pride and go to Sotutu. He is the obvious choice.
Hi Mark. 💯 % appreciation for Cane. 👍 to TJ. Well refereed match. Plummer @ 10 , Havilli/ALB and Proctor as midfield trial run. Ruben Love @ 15. If the way forward isn't going to be a trial and error approach I might as well watch the highlights of the matches.
@jameshartzenberg5763 with the schedule to come I dont think we can expect Razor to make many changes, I hope to heck I am wrong
Me too. Rassie played Sacha against the Renowned NZ hé. Fingers crossed
Plummer offers very little over BB or D-Mac at number 10 and thats a fact.He Plummer has done nothing above and beyond to get a start against a top team or an average team .Japan maybe .
@@jonathonmerson93except he will still be less than 30 years old at the next World Cup. The other 2 are getting in a bit
Cheers Mark. Mostly agree. I'm unconvinced nz has a starting test level 10 in the squad (and even in the country). I'm more convinced tuipulotu/vaai to start, with a Blackadder 6, Savea 7, Sititi 8 back row. Scott Barrett, who I'm a fan of, has had an off year. Injured during SRP, possibly still unfit? Cane, great servant but reckon he's lost a step. It seemed our breakdown is still being targeted by opponents, and i don't think that's a selection issue. The players are good enough.
ALB did a lot, Proctor neeeeeeeds an opportunity. Unsure what he has to do. Very happy with our outside backs stocks. Jordan at 15 😉
Oz seems an extremely well coached team playing above themselves. More experience and consistent selection and they'll be pushing the top 5. They're progessing with their scrum, lineout and kickoff reception (k/off recptn could only improve). Unsure they'll be doing so this season tho
@Thudsrayz hey thanks man. Your back row I agree with. Scott Barrett I agree. Ok, re your Jordan thing. If you have B Barrett and DMAC in the team then as we saw DMAC is better coming off then bench, Depth in the No 10 shirt is non existent.
Re Australia, dont think they played above themselves, I think that is their new base line and are getting better and better thanks to Joe S.
Blackadder is not an international 6. Name me a player better than Sititi at 6? If Savea goes to 7 then we need Sotutu or Iose at 8. Sotutu would complement the other 2 better but it's a matter of Robertson admitting he's wrong and selecting him. On previous experience I can't see him doing that and he doesn't have a voice to give opinions now as assistants are just yes men.
@@markreilly105 Sititi looks like the makings of a generational player, similar to zinzan Brooke. That is, the selection policy is simply to get him on the field any way possible, which might mean 6 for now. I personally don't want him tied up in tight defensive works that a 6 is often drawn into, even tho he can certainly do the job. I want him carrying off the back of scrums and linking with the backline. Of the players in the current squad, Blackadder is extremely capable of mixing the tight stuff, long periods of defence, and doing the dirty work shifting bodies at rucks. Imo, Sotutu and Sititi are competing for the same role, classic NZ no8 work, and Sititi is first pick. So I guess I disagree that Sotutu complements Savea and Sititi. I reckon they'd trip over each other. That's just my theory tho

@barryperrins2459 thank you for the feedback.
Also for sharing your team, interesting.
Sititi has done immensely more in the Black jersey in the 6-7 tests he's played this year compared to the 2-3 years of tests they've tried to get Sotutu to fire in that All Balcks backrow. Absolute night and day difference. Sotutu should look at moving overseas, to be honest, cause it's hard to see him breaking into the squad or getting anywhere near it.
@michaelironside8707 thanks so much for this comment, appreciate it
Good assessment Mark. Beauden Barret, ALB, Sititi, Tupou Vaai, Clarke and Jordan played well I thought. Cane, Reiko, TJ, Havili, Reece, Dmac and Jacobson need to go. Bring on the young blood to replace these guys. Crazy seeing Proctor in his number ones in the stands and not out on the field.
DMac was great off the bench 😂 what game were you watching
@hawkprecision7878 I hear you.
@Lesssvav what did he do wrong?
An improvement from last week Jorden looking good at full back , Beauden at 10, ALB is in the right position would like to see proctor come in and rico move to the wing - Seve really lucky to be there (Enmoi N and Plumer for the bench)
@Todd63790 OK, thanks for sharing that view.
Rieko Edward Ioane. Ioane has attacking skill but needs a better kick. A good coach can make a solid defensive centre, but no coach can manufacture a Frank Bunce without some intrinsic DNA assistance (meaning from childhood the dude needs to have learned the importance of never missing a tackle). So for me, Ioane is on the wing or gets the fling.
@Achrononmaster ok
Hey Mark. Really appreciate all of your thoughts and reviews! Think youve made some great points across the Rugby champs! I feel for Razor (even though Im a Bok fan) as its tough to mix building depth and getting results as a new coach! But just looking at a guy like Wallace Sititi and how well he has done when given a chance.. and a guy like Ratima, Id have been encouraged to blood a few new players across the tournament, especially looking at a guy like Plummer or Ruben Love.. if theyre in the squad it would be great to give them more of a chance. But again its a tough balance! Good luck for your end of year tour! The ABs are way too good and way too skillful a team to not get consistent results.
@OnlineSuccessCoach thanks for this, always appreciate and respect your thoughts.
I've been waiting for big Williams to hit that line and score tries.
@ramondrongonui1024 and so say all of us.
Wanted to see Barrett back at 10, it worked tonight regardless of his overall game. Jordans line off his pass scythed the Wallabies open as happened too often today.
That try before HT after the wallabies retook the lead was old school typical ABs. The Wallabies never really recovered from that. No 2nd half revival this week. Im not sure what to think of Wallabies so far under JS. Look better than Eddie but seem no better than Dave Rennie in my view.
Look forward to seeing them in the flesh Murrayfield 24th Nov. Cant believe Autumn tests are a few weeks away, Boks for us too this year. Bring it on.
@saints16o5o87 thanks so much for sharing your views.
Beauden was great at his job...look back again and you can see he is always there,tackling, feeding and moving the ball where it is needed. Should get more cudos
@@jackiejones690 I wasnt saying he wasnt olaying well, i was just wanting to see if he would have a bigger imoact at 10 than D Mac as i believe he is a better fit if you want a morerisk free option.
The forwards did have a bigger influence particularily going forward and ensured a good platform for distribution in the backs.
I dont see D mac having the influence in the AB shirt yet he has at club level.
I can only go on highlights though for Super rugby as its not feasible being in Scotland to watch games, i will stay up late, get up early for the tests though. So my opinions may be skewed by not seeing either playing 80 mins every week.
@@insiderugbywithmark welcome, think i started watching during RWC, your takes are to the point. Roll on Autumn tests.
Two things - Allblacks need to get rid of the box kicking ,the first one led to an Australian try . Secondly Havilli is not a test player , never has been
Ah, but plays for the Crusaders so will be given every chance possible by Razor
@jimdavis762 yes and yes
Gotta love Cancun!
Thoughts… WJ is a great player, he’s a little restricted when playing on the wing as at fullback he has better vision of the game and this is his preferred position.
DMac can be impatient at times and he’s the kind of player that is great at impact when he is patient (off the bench)
Plummer would be amazing with some ease into the team and would be my preferred, after Richie.
Cane has experience, but seems to miss on the big moments.
Wallace is the next best thing!
The midfield needs Billie and Jordie, Billie will elevate Jordie.
It is clear there are some hangover from Fozzie and the team is still growing. They need time together on the field as Fozzie’s over experimentation with players playing out of position and changing teams every week has hurt the ABs.
Like your analysis of the games and teams, you present clear and precise.
Cheers
@ptdvll indeed gotta love Cancun and do.
Ok, going to share my two pesos worth if I may.
Will Jordan 31 tries from 33 games on the wing, restricted?
DMAC off the bench, yes agree.
Plummer yes, would had liked to see him sooner than later, eg..Against Fiji, and Australia.
Cane will be invaluable on Northern Tour Im picking
Wallace.......so far, so great
On Billy yes, not hot on Jordie still. Maybe Ireland will take him and we can have Bundee Aki :-)
On the Fozzie point I say this.
The day Scott Robertson walked into the job it was his calls. No one was saying he had to do what Fozzie did or have a gun to his head.
Thank you for the positive feedback and for your comment
Yes definite improvements. Still concerned that there is no methodical approach to creating a continuous buildup towards a score. Almost all points come from broken play counter attacks. Whilst its great the ABs have the ability to conjure up a try, against better teams learning how to continue set phase play after play and pressure teams repeatedly is something i havent seen yet and will be very necessary come northern tour where teams have better defensive screens and its needed to break them down. Also no set piece play plans, just tap and barge. Missing some attacking plays or ideas. Lineout improved markedly. Sotiti and Tupo vai look finds of the season, esp sotiti.
@runforrestrun1965 very accurate assessment in my opinion, good stuff.
In your last sentence, add Ratima to that list please :-)
Mark, I thought Scott Barrett had his best game of the test series this year. Reiko is better on the wind in my view with Proctor at 13. Cortez Ratima sped the game up significantly when he came on. Will Jordan is getting his form back and belongs at 15. Best 80 minute All Black performance of the year with excellent defensive effort of the team.
@chrisfindlay5963 I hear you on Scott Barrett.......I can change my opinion perhaps on Jordan at Fullback, but I can not cross the bridge on Ioane at 13.
@@insiderugbywithmark I meant Reiko on the wing, I think he is a better winger, he is more involved in the game in that he can chase the high ball and his speed and strength come into play more. I don't think he has the defensive understanding at 13 although he is a big guy and can tackle.
Mark, thank you for your views!!!
BB isn’t the answer! BB & DMac on bench for Ireland & France games EOYT.
I hope Razor can take a 36-man squad with critical positions still up in the air. Locks, loose trio, flyhalf, centres and fullback.
Can’t wait for your post when you discuss the EOYT. 5 games left for ABs - will Razor be brave enough to experiment? 🤷🏽🤞🏽
Cheers Mark I agree with you ,I can only imagine if players like Peter lakai,or Duplessi kerifi got some exsposure at this level just to name a couple of young up and comers in new zealand how they would go looking at the success of satiti but I cant see that happening its like to many gun young players is a bit much for this coaching staff or they arent brave enough for change.When they pick the team for the Northern Hemisphere tour how many new players do you think will be introduced?cheers
Frustrating players like Reiko, TJ, BB, do some great things and then do some stupid/inaccurate things. In the past i have defended Reiko but he is so up and down i really think he must be on his last chance - or should be.
I enjoyed the game and it showed that having BB at 10 vastly improved the backline play. It also showed that DMAC is not the answer at 10 but a great impact player. I would rather see a scenario of starting or blooding new players at #10 and having BB either start or come off the bench if things go tits up. BB I don't see getting to the next RWC but it is important to have him in the team just for his experience alone to help guide the new younglings coming through.
Not very happy with the performance , i felt the wallbies should have done more in the early stages and ABs were average througth out the game . lets hope Billy proctor gets a shot against japan
@allblacks9100 thanks for sharing your thoughts. If Proctor does get a shot against Japan and plays really well, then what?
@@insiderugbywithmark then he should be a regular starter as he is something for the future
@@allblacks9100 reckon they’d make a call like after playing Japan?
@@allblacks9100 I think you may be pushing it. He will have played 2 games against low quality opposition. Robertson should have had him on the bench instead of using Telea and Reece. Then we could have seen him against stronger opposition.
It's difficult to pinpoint our team's playing style. Our strategy isn't clear. We do seek space out wide, but so does every team. It's difficult to judge us on these two tests against the Wallabies. They're at a low ebb so we should be cautious about blowing our trumpets. What's certain is that Razor will likely select this same lineup for the big upcoming northern tour tests, so in terms of building a squad, that's one year down 2.5 to go..
@Generative_Midi_ yes, in that sense we are no different than Portugal, they play an open expansive game as well. I havent seen any team be able to do that for 80 mins, the Springboks even couldnt do it today for a 20min period of the game.
@@insiderugbywithmark Yep, and just on that utterly predictable result: it's not so much that Argentina can beat anyone on their day, it's that the ABs and the Springboks are able to turn in stinkers. To me it indicates the quality of the international game at this point. There are no genuine champion teams on show right now. It's close between them, but the standard is down. World rugby needs the ABs to rise again. As for Argentina, they're flaky.
omg what do you mean?ITS HALF A SEASON OVER GET THAT BIT RIGHT.
@@jonathonmerson93 stop shouting
Some honest thinking, People forget they are forgetting, for me a world champion during world cup must not loose one game, if loose then champion who have lost. 1995 wc boks beat all, and were worthy champs, but the last two , Having lost a game and u are still champ. Not beating the same team u lost against. The rugby world Cup became interesting
@frankvsnschalkwyk6030 I think the winner of the World Cup will always be the team who reaches the final and wins the final. Cant see much movement on that.
The aussie big boys looked gassed after about half an hour. They were working so hard for their points. They were putting hundreds of phases to get to the line. Nz had the ball for 2 seconds and came away with a try. The fact they kept slugging away is a credit to Australia. Ps Tupoi Vaa'i is another great find IMHO
I LO VE YOUR VLOG NO BLINKERS
Gracias
Thought we were a bit clunky in the first half but give credit to the Wallabies for competing and making the ABs work for it.
Beauden isn't the answer at 10 and his goalkicking isn't good enough imo to win us tight games. Thought Dmac was good off the bench with his pace and creativity.
Tosi also provided good bench impact with a couple of strong ruck turnovers and carries. Tuipulotu also added some grunt off the bench with strong carries and good lineout work. Cortez definitely needs to start and can't wait to see Roigard back as an impact player. 12 and 13 definitely looked pedestrian and defensively Reiko got caught out on more than one occasion.
@bokudesu3280 I pretty much echo all you have written, thank you for the contribution
I think the score flattered NZ a bit. I hate to think what Joe Schmidt could have done as head coach for the ABs, when you consider the massive advantage NZ have when it comes to cattle and availability of experienced players.
really? 5 tries to one?
Great game and a big improvement. There are more than a few positives it eg Sititi, performance in the last 20. To be upfront, I think some things came to light.
1. Ioane is not in form - The combo of Jordie B and Billy Proctor I think is worth picking.
2.HB. Time tyo go with Hotham, Cortez and Roigard for the tour. TJ makes too many mistakes.
4. Loose forward mix is a WIP. Blackadder would be a better option at 7 or as an impact player.
5. Aumua is not in the same class as Samisoni Taukei'aho yet. He is more of super rugby player.
6. DMAC looks more suited to being an impact player than a 10.
7. Pasilio Tosi looks more suited as a reserve prop than Newell.
@ManMountain1974 my responses to yours if you are interested.
1. Ioane out to wing. Clarke at 12, Proctor at 13
2. Yes agree
3. you didnt have one
4. Blackadder 6, Savea 7, Sititi 8
5. Agree
6. DMAC bench yes
7. Yes agree
Yes, some good tries, but for me our defence was outstanding. As for 10, Beauden was fine, but he’s not the future. We must use Plummer at least in the Japan/ Italy games as a prelude to the Big Three. Dmac off the bench. Scott B showed a bit more leadership. Still more penalties and yet another yellow card late in the game. But we are beginning to see confidence and at last we played 80 minutes. ALB stepped up which was good to see.
@chill3561 thanks for your sharing, appreciate it
Much better performance from the AB's but for me they are still lacking that clinical edge that we used to see from them in previous times.
Sititti and Jordan were brilliant and Dmack when he came on made an impact. Encouraging signs but how will they cope against the likes of Ireland, England and France in November?
I don't think either of those 3 teams will ever underestimate them but they won't be too nervous either. Let's wait and see.
As for Australia, they put in a good shift but again were unable to put in an 80 minute performance. Joe Schmidt is doing a good job though. It's going to take a wee bit more time and patience but there's definitely green shoots sprouting which is good to see. They'll get there.

@vladtheinhaler6579 Tolstoy was under the influence when he penned that quote.

is more applicable and the AB´s will need to shift gears to play against Three rush defenses and backlines that will test their ability to cover the field for 80mins.
14:22 hey! Keep going with this channel you are amazing eh! When talking about the bench in this game, I personally disagree here. I thought that tosi, Williams, Aumua, Jacobson, ratima and Dmac all made amazing contributions, I really saw Jacobson get stuck in with his tackles and work around the ruck in a way I have not seen this whole championship. I particularly thought tosi was outstanding especially over the ball - he got 2 or 3 big turnovers and was having a really strong overall game and impact! And I personally believe he is cementing his spot over newel in the 18. Jersey. Keep growing these players, bring in tokeaho and proctor into the mix and I think you have the makings of a defusal to the bomb squad!
Hey unfortunately, Mark I use u 4 stats, how many times did ALB and RIEKO PLAY CENTER pair.
@frankvsnschalkwyk6030 I wouldnt use me for stats.........I have no idea.
Big defence step up ! Sititi continues to impress, should of bn proctor replacing reiko
@MikeNEVILLE-xf4bc yes yes yes
Who do the masses think are the " Best All Blacks 15 starting players at the moment & the best 8 bench players at the moment " Thanks 👍
I think we saw how much ebtter our atk was with a proper 12 in ALB as well. Jordie hinders out atk at 12. Push JB back to 15, keep Jordan on the wing and bring Beaudy off the bench to cover 15. Hes clearly not a ten anymore.
@salemmurray711 OK thanks for that.
It feels like Razor is a little bit out of his depth, hopefully he grows into the position. 10, 12 and 13 is the biggest concern for the A.B.s
@spencergay8283 thanks for sharing your view. Lets see what he does for Japan game and beyond
@spencergay8283 Reiko and Barrett come with Foster ,they need to be recycled. Loyalty has a expiring date.
Yes, really don't know about Razors plans.
Its up to the players to implement the plan, so far they haven't been, you can see the frustration on coaches face, we got some awsome youngsters to come and id like to see them all on the park at same time.
@@robertosalsone5655 I couldn't agree more.
Awesome work ABs!!! Cane was immense again. DMac was awesome off the bench. Clarke was brilliant
@ablewilling2778 thanks for the share
I thought this was the only game so far, apart from Fiji, that we could’ve given minutes to some of Love/Procter/ Bell/ Hotham but don’t criticize them looking for selection continuity, cos the team hasn’t been gelling like it did today.
Good step up both teams.
TJ past his best, hopefully Roigard back for NH
Still think our coaches should ban box kick from base - unless it’s for the line.
Ban high kick down the middle to hand also - both teams conceded tries to these pointless, giveaway possession kicks.
We’ll need to defend high kicks in NH but our dna expansive play needs possession, not the kicking away of it. We gotta aim to impose our running game off the 2 running 10’s we have and was so effective today.
Our young forward pack should become ever more dominant over this WC cycle = more set piece dominance, mobility to breakdown /support play and go forward platform for backs to run off to come.
We’ match up to NH packs now but will have to match up in discipline v their defences.
This is a much better AB’s than lost to Pumas, the whole group is evolving.
Vaii, Blackadder, Sititi have been huge emerging forces and Taylor’s mobility and positioning creates a lot. They don’t rate Papalii, need to get Lakai in for NH then.
Hi Mark, agree mostly I'm just not keen to see us build a team around beaudy we have to bring in the young bloods. Jordan will be the ABs fullback, not sure how Reiko stays he's been average for a long time. Was always a better winger. TJ made at least 5 errors but also needs to go and time for Sam Cane to let the new guys in 6 blackadder, 7 Ardie 8 Satiti is lethal. I think our forward pack has been the best in championship overall, its our backline that misfire's. ALB's passing game was on point. Havilli shouldn't be an all black. Plummer and Proctor will start Japan game so we get to finally see the future.
Wht is possibility to get N LAUMAPE (1993 BORN) BACK FOR AB CENTRES
No thanks, not the right guy in my opinion
Up the mighty Abs
@Cssssssst yes
Scott Barrett played very well. Damien McKenzie also played well.
Scooter had a better game but still is not himself. Tuipulotu is a better 4 currently. Against this side, no offence to Joe Schmidt, it is hard to get too excited. We have to remember Australia is made up of Super Rugby players just like us.
Reikos days at centre are over he needs to go to the wing
Mark please don’t forget the South Africa vs Argentina game
Patience Michael, all good things come to those who wait.
That was close.
Was it
For me it was simple. No Jodie Barrette, AB improve we will c in North tour, accept when the back to Three brother Jordie my worry contnue. Question How many times ALB AND RIEKO CENTERS, accept to day and come as sub, we 2 fast critical , forgetting it was Fozzy b4. By the way Mark podcast my 1st and only subs ribe, by the way, me a PhD in math education, thatz why I like numbers to help direct thinking
@frankvsnschalkwyk6030 great thoughts here, thanks for sharing
As i told you Mark the All Blacks will win and they did and easily .They bounced back from a mediocre victory last week .
@jonathonmerson93 well done you. Yes it was a win. England Ireland and France await.
Sam Kane should never been picked again, all he did was giving Australia penalties
@tasivaaulu1861thanks for sharing your opinion
Caleb Clarke at 12.
@DavidJackson-oe9vs would love to see that, brutal
Australia plummets.
@marsof46 Your view, thanks for sharing it.
I saw Scot Barret grabbing the knee of Wallaby front forward injuring him. He is the captain. This is disgraceful !
You state that Rieko Ioane missed 3 tackles in central midfield just in the first half, please can you put the game times of when these misses happened? The match stats suggest that he only missed two tackles all game, the same as Clarke, Cane, Havili and Jordan.
Personally, I saw nothing wrong with his defence.
@babu7141 take another look at the game when you get the chance
Nothing!
@HabitatPaintingLimited Exactly
BB struggled. Dmac is our 10.
@solethesis HMM ok, your opinion counts. :-)
@@insiderugbywithmark yep those who think Plummer is our number 10 have no idea on class and ability .
🤣🙄🤮🤣🤐
Thanks
get reece and mckenzie out?
@jaymanilla289 Yes, best case scenario DMAC on bench
You need to do more homework champ
@rickybretherton2004 happy with my lot thanks mate. You have a happy day, keep smiling
Not a great game
I thought the All Blacks were definitely average.
@maphangamaseko6896 WHY?
@isaacu2077 Imagine if they clicked then
