Will Barrett and McKenzie unlock the All Blacks' backline potential? | The Breakdown

[@rewihemara]

we havent seen the best of this new team yet so much improvement needed going forward so lets support our boys and coaches

[@tonyalways7174]

The line out was a massive problem for the match. It created huge pressure.

[@thefobbie0034]

That is because England were getting away with a lot illegal tactics 1) they closed the gap and got their jumpers in front of our jumper to cut off the ball 2) when there was a gap the English were purposely jumping across the line and taking out our jumper 3) that Itoje was obviously set with the job to upset the jumper by way of deliberately sacking our jumper while tackling them in the air OR knocking the ball out the jumper hands!

[@dougsaunders8109]

AB’s have Beauden Barrett to thank for the wins. Each time he came on game swung in AB’s direction. He generates space for other players through his ball skills and attack. One of the former England players joked man of the series for his 40mins . Bloody legend, wish he would retire. Love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Can notice how much effect losing whitelock and retallick have on the All Blacks , we had 2 of our greatest locks we have ever had and now they are both just suddenly gone

[@ManaBlack208]

Time to move on now from that

[@CoolCoyote]

nobody's panicking, but remember how long fozzy took to get any good, we almost won a rwc not even at 100% with crazy ref calls. but fozzy did show he could coach a bit, mixed in with some average performances.

[@Scrotomus]

There is no backline potential with Jordy and Reiko in the midfield

[@CoolCoyote]

dont include jordie in that, riko aint no conrad. canes had proctor and jordie together remember. robertson is looking at the long game tho however not playing proctor was a bit of a lame excuse. but peffafeta was average

[@rchw8052]

Jordy and Reiko seem to be missing since the world cup. They always get locked up.

[@alextaylor6793]

if some of englands subs didnt go off injured that game could of looked very different.

[@shanemorrison9002]

Leave the team to build as is, the Boys get a chance to force their way into the winning starting team.INJURY is the leveler, Razor with humility and humour will reward the Form not the Name.the youug talent has legs,Half back Post SMITH is glaring.that split second pass enable many a man to look good.Ratima Roigard are weapons in development.Jordy and Reiko have been small on big play but Huge in Small play so far,these two thoroughbreds have been locked in the barn,When they get the opportunity they will do what's natural RUN.

[@ashleysoudah]

Itoje gave away 3 unnecessary penalties towards the end 🤦‍♂️

[@ashleysoudah]

Sevu Reece still looking for Ollie Sleighthome

[@theresaswartz7484]

Can the coaches not train them stop that endless kicking.

[@hitstickwear3189]

Reiko has speed and he's good on defence. Both attributes that Telea doesn't have. Sevu at 14, Emoni Narawa off the bench. Beaudy back at 10, Jordie at 15, Perofeta off the bench. Heem and Clarke at midfield Lam off the bench Cortez 9, Finley off the bench Dalton 7, Aardie 8, Finau 6, Hoskins off the bench Jordie and Reiko don't even sync. They never play off each other. It's like oil and water with these two. Reiko can't step, he always crashes and goes straight to ground with no offload game. Jordie's always defusing bombs and plays more like a fullback in the midfield. No one chases kicks except for Beaudy and McKenzie is always kicking straight into the arms of the opposition. He's got a kick I like to call The 'wtf was that?' kick. There.. I said what we're all thinking.

[@Scrotomus]

Reiko is good on defence? He made 5 tackles in the first game against England and missed 3 of them just sayin.

[@vanessamay3689]

Not All.

[@hitstickwear3189]

​@@Scrotomus He's better then Mark Telea 😅

[@user-px5hd2vc9y]

Dear Jeff Wilson. Please show a little bit more respect and consideration in your after-match interviews of an All Black captain. Twice now. You come across as an investigative reporter.

[@dreday77764]

Let’s be honest here. Dmac and Perofeta are only caretakers for Mounga and Jordan when they return. Beaudy will come off the bench

[@brucefale6132]

When is Mounga returning? He has a 3 year contract in.Japan. Try to keep up

[@HarryPottard]

You are so wrong on that one m8.

[@dreday77764]

@brucefale6132 There’s already talks that his three year contract will be cut short so he can return to NZ. Maybe it’s you that needs to keep up. Regardless, Dmac is still caretaker as he is not the first choice 10 moving towards the next World Cup.

[@brucefale6132]

@@dreday77764 thats right.....talks...until theres actually a definite yes or no then its just talks isnt it. Just stick with what is not what maybe. Like i said...try to keep up

[@dreday77764]

@brucefale6132 obviously reading and comprehension is not your strong point. As the rest of my comment stated, moving towards the next World Cup, Mounga is the primary number 10. Dmac is only caretaker. I’ll repeat myself unfortunately.. it’s you that needs to keep up.

[@davidwalker2402]

England still claim they’re in transition after 20 months since new management, in their last 6 games they lost 4 won 2 and one of those was against japan who were just beaten by Georgia . Give it a little time…
