>brumshits
>>66532930
I just think he's better
Williams/Davies would be a much more creative centre partnership but Gatland will never (ever) drop Roberts and he does offer a lot as a defensive player and bosh merchant
>>66532934
lel at how poorly fitted that suit is
manlets win again
>>66532944
Fair enough. He and Davies were really missed at the world cup.
Seemed like once the ball went past Biggar nobody knew how to do anything other than run straight.

Also all-Brumby Wallaby pack when (minus Alexander)?
>>66532956
Yeah, Morgan will be a really good 13 in a few years but he's not there yet. And North at 13 was a fucking terrible decision (see that 15 mins vs Aus)

BEST KICKOFF ROUTINES
1. Smugkenzie's satanic smile
2. Biggar Macarena
3. Francois Steyn's 1 step 60m kicks
more suggestions pls

>>66532980
Evans literally falls over the moment the screw gets turned and Lee really struggles when a loosie bores in on him. They'll come good in the future but are just not at the required level yet.

>>66533124
>Aaron Smith becomes shit at the end of his career like Gregan
P O T T E R Y
Brumbies 15 looks like he's playing schoolboy level

Aaron Smith has been GOAT for loads of reasons, his offensive running game isnt the best in NZ, though still very good.
His pass won't slow for another 4 years

>shot
why
>>66533172
seems like there's been a head clash or a concussion/concussion test in every match i've watched since the competition started
What's the rankings for the AB hookers after Coles? I honestly have no idea who'll be on the bench
>>66533182
Because there's 20 minutes to go and they're down by more than a converted try you absolute casual.
>>66533182
Because they were 9 behind, there's 20min to go, points on offer and you get the ball back. Pretty basic stuff.
Ref has had a blinder tbqh.
>>66533196
Hika Elliot probably and then no one.
>>66533196
Theyre looking for a new one for the next world cup.

>>66533206
Gardner is easily the best Aus ref atm. Good thing he's getting more international experience

Codie Taylor
>>66533196
uhh
Codie Taylor (Crusaders)
Hika Elliot (Chiefs)
Nathan Harris (Chiefs)/Liam Coltman (Highlanders)
James Parsons (Blues)
Codie Taylor isn't very good desu. But he's in the Dane Coles mold and I think they'll treat him like a project player in the hopes he'll be Coles MKII in a couple of years.

As a Canes fan I'm hoping it's just hangover from celebrating the world cup and then having his wedding/honeymoon. I want him to get his shit into gear asap
>>66533535
Saveas already part of the plans for 2019 he's not getting dropped unless he does something really really stupid. Pains me to say it but he has got bags of experience and big game temperament. You're not gonna see a backline of
11. Lowe
14. Mckenzie
15. B Smith
They will want one huge fucker, and it's gonna be Savea, to balance it.
>>66533568
He'll be dropped by the titans before the next RWC
what are lowe and mckenzie on?
when do you see lowe NOT smiling, or wide eyed?

The All Blacks should always bee moving away from conventionalism and pushing the game into new territory IMO
>>66533577
Here's what can happen
11. Savea
14. Lowe/NMS/Ioane/Naholo (whoever really, they're potentially all fit at 2019)
15. Smith
As the game go on, they bring in McKenzie for right wing. When Smith goes off, Barrett on to wing, and McKenzie switch to fullback. Savea on for entire game to threaten the left wing
Is Melbourne the last hope for Australian rugby lads?
>>66533592
except they're not beating the tahs with a bonus point
>>66533619
we plead with big muscular NRL to have some of their stars and audience
>>66533619
we start hiring coaches from outside australia, and start mass buying under 20 league players.
we want athletes with ball skills. kids that could play league, afl, or cricket professionally. not rejects that live in a private school bubble.
especially league wingers, tall forwards (to become 6 and 8s), and organising halfbacks (to become 10's)
>>66533652
I dont get why Melbourne isn't a Union powerhouse.
You'd think more Melbournians would jump at the chance to jump into piles of sweaty, muscley men
>>66533687
Too busy checking their privilege I guess.
>>66533687
no they could get hurt doing that. they prefer grappling
>>66533680
Poaching requires money, money that the ARU doesn't have. They basically had to bleed themselves dry just to afford Folau
So basically that isn't happening unless you get some sugar-daddy, which I don't see either.
They need to start by fixing up the grassroots. The best thing they could do there is unironically move the Force to Western Sydney which is a massive untapped market.
>>66533651
Don't think B Smith will make it to '19. Definitely the Lions tour. All Blacks actually like 'defense first' full backs in big games. Dagg and Smith are both big, formidable defenders for full back. Remember Andre Taylor? Never got close to All Black despite being top scorer. Piatau would have been the perfect replacement. Honestly the dumbest career move I've ever seen in rugby.
Who the fuck knows where Barretts going.
Out of the backline, I can only say that Savea and A Smith will be there for 2019.
>>66533725
>Dagg
>formidable defender for full back
the fuck you talking about? he trips over his own feet 80% of the time he's 1on1 with the oposition
>>66533747
he's good for fullback. though I only started watching the All Blacks in 2011 so maybe not

Dagg never regained his form after the 2011 RWC unfortunately. But he was rock solid under the high ball and had a good boot
Completely shuts down the SA and England attempts at making meaningful territorial play
>>66533777
>shuts down the SA and England attempts at making meaningful territorial play
This is why Beale needs to be starting in the backrow. His defensive game is also alot better this year despite the memes so i dont see why he cant play wing.

My 'fuck it, its only Wales' XV would have Sanders (Chiefs 6) ahead of Dixon
>>66533725
>Piatau would have been the perfect replacement. Honestly the dumbest career move I've ever seen in rugby.
I agree he squandered what would have been a good AB career and a world cup, but it is hard to turn down a 1 million NZD salary.
>>66533770
mcmahon is leading about 3 or 4 categories in the australian comp, including more defenders beaten, tackle busts, and metres per carry.
frankly i'd have 7 mcmahon 8 pocock. holloway, hooper, gill fight for the bench spot.

Let's just shut the fucking shop lads, Smugkenzie is the be all, end all of /rug/ memes.
>>66533826
McMahon is good, but Pocock is better just for his ability to effect turnovers.
I prefer Holloway to McMahon because
1) He is bigger and can cover lock and is an option and the lineout (big problem when playing two manlets)
3) is just as fast and good on the ball carry
Reason I put Gill on the bench is because he is the only other turn-over merchant. If Pocock gets tired/hurt Hooper/McMahon cannot fulfill his role. This was exposed during the RWC.
>>66533948
>>was in the same class as not one but TWO world famous /rug/ personalities

Infact, are New Zealand playing all NH teams as well? Could be the first time (i think) that >we both complete the Grand Slam in the same year
>>66534031
A lot of the danielposting narrative development happened in /rwc/ though
I remember it because original AMS had a bitch about /cric/ and /nrl/ taking over /rug/ with off-topic shitposting and literally made several angry posts about how he regretted doxxing Daniel because it ruined the enlightened rugby discussion.
>>66534030
doesn't really sound like a dox if they were classmates
>>66534041
He literally supports the cumsaders.
Not as autistically as he supports Durham CCC but he definitely watches rugby and posts here. I remember him being the only other Cumsaders fan bar Davis

official SANZAAR highlight reel is up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5dNfhm0b8
As early as 28 minutes, the Brumbies were so bamboozled they've forgotten how to tackle. Cruden was simply doing a slow waltz in the Brumbies redzone before setting up Lowe for the try
>>66533892
I'd imagine it'll be Robshaw/Clifford with Hughes or Beaumont on the bench
>>66534116
Chufs always seemed to be 3v1 out wide which either says that they were playing the ball way too quickly of the Brumbies sweepers were lazy

You should try and get the full match somewhere. The SmugKenzie hype is real. He was making the Brumbies defence hesitate everywhere. Haven't seen someone capable of doing that in Super Rugby since 2010-era Quade Cooper
>>66534205
