The first two clips show White’s shocking defensive efforts. He was one of our worst players in both Bled 2 and 3. No game management, standing off and spectating, missing multiple tackles, taking the wrong options, placing enormous pressure on the debutants outside him. I would love to see an article highlighting his failures in these two games, to balance up the highly positive portrayal he has received on here in the past.
I would select Tate NcDermott and develop his potential. White has had his chances.

Clear separation. No try. Coles new it and my Super HD TV showed it. He and the ball are moving forward. It’s a knock on.

Hey Waka. Everything you say, and you say an awful lot, is pretty misguided. FO. 😂

It was a clear knock on. End of story.
The Wrap: Wallabies mauled by resurgent All Blacks
Those numbers are fantasy. RA has inflated our player numbers for years to improve gov funding. 270,000 / 23 = 11,723 rugby teams in Australia. A lot more if you divide by 18 or 20, a more realistic number for each squad. Yeah, right. 😂

It’s 100% his fault when he goes through with it. A smart player would have won a penalty for the bump.

Jacko, that comment disgusts me. Most of us show great respite the Haka, yet you show contempt for a symbolic display for our indigenous culture. FO.

Mate, he still put his arms around the guys legs. I can’t understand how any professional test match player can stand on the ground and tackle a player jumping for the ball in open play. It is just so mind numbingly stupid and always has one of two results: red or yellow.
Then, to amplify this guy’s unsuitability for the role, he lost possession on his next three involvements. Pathetic is the word that comes to mind.

Serious question: What was Nic White’s contribution?

Looks like it will be wet. Back to game plan Bled 1?

That is a very narrow analysis of why we lost. Did you read Nicholas Bishop’s article?

You can’t drop players because they were outplayed by their All Black opponents in one game. Wouldn’t be many players playing two weeks in a row if we did that. Maybe Samu was unlucky to be dropped and maybe he was unlucky not to be reinstated. But now get to see if McReight can produce at this level and the starting back row get a second chance.
I think it was a lot more than the back row or one selection that caused our problems last week. If tackles had stuck, maybe the back row would have done better. Ned did make the break that set up one of our tries.

I am somewhat shocked by the level of negativity expressed in these comments. We have lost our two first choice 5/8s. Rennie has backed the young, emerging options for their replacement. I say great. Can’t wait to see how they go. Cheika would have probably select Hodge or brought back the pop gun from overseas.
Thor to the bench isn’t a surprise. Banks has been safe but hasn’t beaten a single man in a kick return. DHP normally beats a couple and that can set up attack. Ned played very well. As for Simmons, I don’t know, but Rennie is seeing the opinions every day in camp. McReight will make the ABs focus at ruck time and maybe commit more players or at least be slightly distracted by the threat he poses. Tate definitely deserves his chance. Samu is a quality player but in my opinion is overrated by many on here.
I like this team considering the options.

Interesting. Toomua’s strengths highlighted and illustrated. We have seen similar articles on Nic White. I would like to see a similarity detailed analysis of these player’s weaknesses. Not that I don’t want to give them credit where it is due. But something just doesn’t add up for me, especially with White. I saw some very average involvements, or a lack of same, from White in the 2nd Bled. How about an analysis of his contribution in that game?
Why it takes To'omua to tango
I support them if they do. I support them if they don’t. What I don’t support is the immense pressure being placed on these young men by both sides.
The Wallabies taking a knee is a matter of conscience
Thanks David. A truely great Wallaby and an absolute beast at the ruck.
David Pocock calls an end to his spectacular professional rugby career
If players want to ‘take the knee’ that is fine with me. Freedom of speech is vital to an evolving democracy.
But racism isn’t ok. So if you attack and demean black or white people, to me, you are a racist and are part of the problem. Hate begets hate. Love and acceptance is the way to go.
Wallabies unveil new Indigenous jersey but want to attract more First Nations players
Maybe we will play more like the Boks in a Green jersey? 😂
Wallabies unveil new Indigenous jersey but want to attract more First Nations players
I love the indigenous jersey, the concept, and i am in awe of the culture. But, can’t see the point of turning this thread and the indigenous jersey concept into a race war. Why not just express your support? That is more powerful than attacking a certain race and age group. Isn’t that actually the behaviour we are trying to eliminate?

Great jersey. Love the concept. 👍

Absolutely it was a clear win for the ABs. That doesn’t mean the Gardner’s two amateur performances in 2 weeks should not be scrutinised and criticised. The laws of the game are in place for a reason. He must apply the basic rules which include entry through the gate, no hands once the ruck is formed, support your own weight and if you step on the line you are out.
How Dave Rennie’s words came back to haunt him at Eden Park
He was consistent, but bad. I don’t want players to be able to clear out from a side entry or to be able to lie on a formed ruck and reach over and pick up the ball. And if a player puts his foot on the sideline I want the lines person to put their flag up. Gardner is shockingly defective and bad for the game.

The world champions of cynical infringing are the most successful team of the professional era.

That simply isn’t true. Most international standard half backs would have made those tackles by going low.
