All Blacks v England - Punters Perspective

A tightly contested match on a cold winters night in Dunedin saw the All Blacks come out victorious by one point over the English team. Join the lads from the podcast to hear their thoughts and opinions on a game that had
so much riding it, Razors first game as AB’s coach, Scott Barretts first match as All Blacks captain and England chasing their first win in New Zealand in 21 years, so lets get into it!

I really would like to see Ratima given some starting 9 time with his Super Rugby 10 DMac. Let's face it though, the current 9's are just keeping the seat warm for Roigard, as the the current 15's are holding the spot for Will Jordan.

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

He got his chance in the 2nd test and grabbed it with both hands.

[@Lesssvav]

I think you’re seriously overlooking Luke Jacobson. He’s a genuine 6, 7 or 8. With the backline - Jordie and Rieko are great players, but they aren’t a true centre pairing yet. Rieko doesn’t distribute well, it’s his biggest work on and Jordie needs to alleviate more pressure off of DMac. That’s half of a 12’s job!

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Rate Jacobsen, said later he added steal compared to Papalii …

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Good observation, as a backline I felt like they didnt really really have an answer to the outside defense rushing up on them. Teething problems which sounds like a strange statement because the backline have been in the AB's for a while now.

[@surendemel8297]

What game were you guys watching? England's blindside was absolutely fantastic. I am sure you're podcast will improve cause it's new, it needs to, The same goes for the All Blacks.

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Do you mean Underhill? What a massive game he had, you're right we should have given him a lot more credit. His defense was super quick.

[@axxey]

Scott Barret walking before half time, completely undercooked compared to his usual high workrate, Savea non existant 2nd half as well.

[@jackdarby8904]

Really enjoyed this and your guys perspectives :)

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Cheers 🍺

[@chasey2327]

no recognition of what the English brought in this discussion - thats not a complete perspective

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

@chasey2327 yup your right being AB's fans we are slightly more interested in our own teams performance but you're not wrong so will make more of an effort this week as the English did play very well. Some great individual performances.

[@HiMom2024]

Razor won us that game. Definitely Fozzie hangover. Razor made early changes and changed tactics on the fly

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Agree 🍺 think they will have continuous improvement under Razor

[@pita3908]

which parts of that game was the Fozzie hangover?? you sader razor diehards need to stop blaming Fozzie, he handed the reins over to Razor at end of RWC, Fozzie got his side to the RWC final, dont count your razor chickens before they hatch, he had enough time wtth his 30+ coaching team to catch a clue! he selected the team, his game plan his set up, his new era!!

[@axxey]

The players won, despite them both. Terrible tactics.

[@nvwcj22]

​@@pita3908totally agree with you! 👏

[@minginit]

Your Dmac take is ridiculous…. He needs time. He was the best under the high ball, carried the ball 17 times. Reiki was to flat and his lines were shite. Perofeta went amazingly for his first hit out… Tj was an issue, slow ball carried to much… I have no idea what game you watched. Our biggest weakness was uncontested kicks….

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Was Dmacs roles to carry that many times?

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Which Dmac take we have a few 😂😂😂😂

[@pita3908]

how much time does dmac need?

[@axxey]

@@Wheres_My_Sports_At cleaning up so much terrible ball way behind the advantage line directly in the face of rush defence. Yes.

[@Trajan2401]

DMac still the man.

[@chasey2327]

U found it 'boring'...don't know what to say other than it was a terrific test match which takes two.

[@pita3908]

DMAC didnt get a run last rwc for this reason, the quicker they bring back Mouga the better,. it was like watching a SR game.

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

It's seeming that way, I really think the guys is talented but he isnt your classic test match 10, be interesting to see what happens with this weeks selections.

[@axxey]

Mo'unga would have been completely smeared, absolutely terrible systems to deal with rush defense, consistantly doing slow 2nd hospital pass deep out the back. Has little to do with the 10 and a lot to do with why 10 is receiving it in that position over and over.

[@jeremyviall4168]

I think the problem was TJ to be honest. His delivery was too slow. Things sped up with Christie from the ruck. He gave DMac more time.

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

@@jeremyviall4168 I think we are definitely missing Smith and Roigard for their snappy service.

[@jeremyviall4168]

@Wheres_My_Sports_At yeah Finlay and Cortez this weekend should show improvement.

[@markrusden3651]

So wrong, to say Tuipolotu had a poor game, hysterical

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Actually we said “A quiet game by his standards” not a poor game ….

[@johngraham5948]

The expectations of some NZ fans far exceeds the reality of the rugby world today obviously how the games went England is a quality team they'll be hurting they let 2 opportunities go then you've got the other 3 top sides France SA and Ireland Razor and his team will find ways to win and don't let Sam Whitelock hear you compare SPR amd test rugby congrats ABs thanks England

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Fair call mate.

[@frankvsnschalkwyk6030]

Think Jordie Barret is good provincial, but national not getting it, Since Lions tour keep making key mistakes, I wish LAUMAPE CAN COME BACK WITH AL BROWN

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Was hoping Levi Aumua would be able to fill that gap.

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Next Episode Out Now on KZbin.

[@moafaagase7937]

I think you need to go back and watch the game! Tuipoloutu was the standout lock. Omg “another positive , Hoskins would not have scored the try that Ardie scored” what a stupid thing to say….. bro, your other positives were Smith was shit and the winger was like in a suit. You really know your rugby said no one ever!!!! And definitely tune in again just for a laugh. Thank you

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Cheers mate, will watch Tuipoloutu closer im a fan of his just want to see that super form translate. Love the passion hoping Eden park will fire up the lads some more

[@bkitch5755]

We have no openside flanker 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Both-Barracuda]

That was my reaction. What's that bloke smoking

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Yup agree with you on this, Papalii is a step down from Cane.😊

[@tclrsons9272]

Luke Jacobson, is a pretty bloody good 7

[@nvwcj22]

​@@Wheres_My_Sports_At disagree! Papalii tackles everything & everyone! He's a beast! 💪

[@DeeSenileba]

Whos that guy wearing all blacks Jersey..garbage analysis

[@patcow9999]

Seemed a very myopic view of NZ this vid and a tad disrespectful of England's performance. Especially mentioning just 2 England players as having stand-out performances, Itoje and Marler (the later hardly on the pitch long enough to have been a standout). True, Maro had a very good game but I think you three missed stand-out performances from our No.9, Mitchell, Feyi-Waboso on the wing, our other lock George Martin was a powerhouse, as was Cunningham-Smith. In the 2nd Test, expect to see no.8 Ben Earl cause mayhem breaking the line for fun, he had a rare off day. I laughed at your observation of full back Furbank, true, he took a massive hit, but he got straight back up! He'll be better next week, he has been outstanding all season, especially v Ireland. Marcus Smith + Fin Smith will also step up. Look, it's Auckland NZ always win, but write us off at your peril.

[@Basketball_Edition_Podcast]

Your 9 was solid, apologies for not getting that mentioned, looking forward to this weekend, love the passion in the comment 🍺 thank you for watching

[@Sunflower-dt6ev]

I hate pundits, assuming they know what I want. I got what I expected. A win. Otherwise, it's mostly a nonsense video.

[@pita3908]

1 point win is s****

[@Sunflower-dt6ev]

@@pita3908 tell that to the Boks who beat Fra Eng & ABs all by 1pt in the knockouts to win RWC2023.

[@VKM33]

Woeful analysis and a tonne of mispronounced names - thumbs down for this vid

[@Wheres_My_Sports_At]

Apologies for that, will address that.

how rediculous, can you pronouce the names correctly?

Win for ABs 70 Eng 3 the English cheating

[@MikeMarlinTube]

World's worst rugby video - and therefore worth watching. Or is it a comedy - a rugby version of the Office perhaps? Could be. Shame that Ricky Gervais wasn't involved. A complete load of nonsense from some barely coherent men who clearly came straight from a very boozy lunch.

[@Trajan2401]

Too negative

[@9Charcot]

Not sure we watched the same game. Your take outs and observations regarding both teams way off the Mark ....DMac not upto it, Perafeta very quiet? England left wing in a dinner suit...won't listen to this channel again....
