[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1099332, member: 65365"] Congratulations argentina, well played. From the all blacks, That was terrible. Worst game of the year. Clearly the relief from winning After all the pressure was not what they needed in order to get up for this game. They looked nervous when they ran onto the field. They are drained. They got flustered. They're a wreck. The attack was the worst it's been all year. What a shame. Instead of building we went back to square one; Schmidt came in and simplified things, probably with an aim to build piece by piece, but would have been better if we had a transition rather starting from scratch. Argentina definitely played well though. But what was that. Disconnection. To be fair it's not like we have the players we have previously had. Sure Clarke and jordan and ione can run. But who can pass? And who can make ground midfield? And who can think? Players in the past have been the product of years of good coaching too; at the top levels and below. But no, it's that calm confidence and cohesion, connectedness; it's just not there. They're going to find it hard to turn around. I don't know how they will. [/QUOTE]
