The last quarter performance against Australia was a real concern. The ABs faded faster than my marriage.

[TheBarilo]

To us (argentinian) reading the graph "ARGENTINA KEEP TITLE HOPES ALIVE, WITH WIN OVER THE BOKS" is just like an Interstellar movie, such incredible and beyond logic scenario but after all these years we probe doubters we belong to compete the Rugby Championship, wins over the BIG 3 at the same tournament is an incredible achievement.

The 2nd half issue has been coming along for the last few years, and was probably unnoticed. Just think about Bledisloe in Melbourne, the Draw against England, RWC final.. All games where we had a lead and struggled to close the game off. Razor has a tough job of fixing these issues, that stemmed long before he started.

One step at a time as we are off to great starts now and holding off Australia in the last 10 should give us some confidence. As we failed against South Africa. We are definitely getting better.

Taylor is spot on its about physicality. The Boks the French all the teams have huge men

[DrissZyani-bumo]

The same problems continue : ill discipline, last 20 minutes, poor bench . What does Razor and his staff coaching do seriously ? Razor must review this with Wayne smith !

[mikeneemia]

Last 20mins no general on the field to calm the boys down or give direction.

[ShirleyZhang-btdj]

All Blacks, as a team have been steadily going downhill for some time.

[mierypesado]

Great show. Taylah is a good addition, very knowledgable and the host knows how to push buttons and keep it fun. Thanks for sharing!

[arthurknoxx]

South Africa at home will put on their full strength side for thise last game VS Argentina. I am expecting them to bounce back extremely hard

[HarleyButler]

Great show tonight! Tayler, great perspective. Looking fwd to some subtle changes this week.

[Mo-ydxc]

Kirstie is cute. I only watch this show for her and Mils' objectivity. Thank God Wilson & Kirwan are there today.

[khairilhafizi]

Riley Higgin has been fantastic in NPC this season. Get him as JB injury covers!

[alan]

Mils was spot on. The AB's get zero confidence out of this. Ex the first 20 minutes we were TOTALLY impotent!

[Honeygooyumy]

AND THAT COMES DOWN TOO MENTAL TOUGNESS AND FORTITUDE

[ashinchr]

One of the biggest issues we have been hurt from in the second half is that our kicking turns to crap.

[casscassy]

I don’t think any of these top ranked teams are too far off each other.

Saying that, when a team can’t produce in the latter parts of the game, it often comes down to the Conditioning Coaches and other Coaching staff. At the moment the AB’s just don’t have it in the Tank. Saturday’s game against Australia proved it beyond doubt.

[ObiePaddles]

It’s been a worry since before this season. Remember the last gasp draw against England a few years back? I thought surely we can stop the rot with a 14 point lead in the last 5-10 mins…but no.

We are finding ways to lose from winning positions. Hopefully we retain the winning positions bit of the games and then shore it up a bit.

[Damudean]

Rotellick was special but not the first. Did you forget about the Legend? Colin Meads?

[EGM]

Straight up need more Blues guys in the team. Look how they preform under pressure. The most pressure game they pumped the Chiefs who were somehow coming in as favourites after smacking the Canes at home. Get Papalii in starting, get Hos on the bench and get Ricky on the bench. Aumua can go vack to npc and learn how to throw

[fiddledeedee]

We just don't have the players currently. Look at our world cup winning teams, great players galore. Now maybe 4-5 top players
