Who were the top performers against Argentina at Eden Park?

[ssvoogel]

Every time John Kirwan complains about scrums, the frames of his glasses get thicker.

[angelaweston]

the only guy who is speaking sense here is Mils.

[JusticeFi]

All time Game changer for me: Ma Nonu. Watch the line break against the springboks in 2010. Prove me wrong.

[lewiswilson]

Great comments from Same Cane. Simple rugby frees the mind. I never listened to tactics. Play head's up rugby and trust your own skills.

[johnadams]

Problems in the Australia team is beyond Joe Schmidt IMO

[uChakide]

JK is such a salty misinformation spinmaster

[theflaver]

Jeff touched on a point that I've watched for a long time. Having the backline deeper opens up options against rush defences.

[darrenandrews]

Michael Jones was an absolute freak. What a player.

[Patrick-hfyi]

We are overloaded with 7s. For me Sotutu or Sititi at 8, Finau at 6 and Savea at 7. Thats height and power.

[anthonyhunia]

Question? How can we score 35pts in the first half and only 7pts in the second half? Dominance is an 80-minute performance. Where you totally obliterate their confidence and their will to compete, that wasn't a dominant performance, it turned into an exhibition game in the end. It would have been dominant if they consistently put points on the scoreboard in the second half.

[davidmadani]

Looking forward to the battle ahead. Will be a good benchmark test for the ABs. SA look awesome.

[hohepateika]

Our main concern is our impact off the bench. No match for SA's bomb squad. We need an 80 minute performance. The 2nd Test V Argentina was a huge improvement, but they are no SA.

[theroogie]

JK, the game is being sped up but you can’t get rid of scrummaging, mauling and rucking otherwise it’s not rugby. May as well play league.
And as for the pressure comment - may have worked a few years ago but not today - we accept the challenge

[rorigiles]

The second half was 7 - 7. Poor performance. When Perenara and McKenzie were subbed we lost our structure and direction.

[greenplasticgun]

Wants the game sped up so it's for everybody? The game is currently for everybody. You want it sped up so it excludes, not includes.

[DivinaeMisericordiae]

People keep forgetting that for a small nation like New Zealand we punch well above our weight. Even in terms of rugby player population we are behind Eng/France/SA/Aus. This was even shown in the recent Olympics I think New Zealand was in the top 5 for medals per head of population. Why is that? Well growing up in NZ we are sports mad. Every school is devoted to sport.

[garrytito]

2 tests in Africa then let's talk about this Robertson ABs

[christiancatley]

These upcoming two test matches against
the world champion Springboks team will show
where the All Blacks are really at. Looking forward to it!

[eduardvictor]

South African M Jones is an ultimate hero and someone really to look up to
