So movement off the set piece sees the ball move wide. Two outside backs in open space with only two defenders in front of them…
And MacKenzie kicks to space.

Superb. Foot was a blade of grass away from being out.

Nice recovery from dirty ball going backwards, good finish.
Uruguay scrum in desperate trouble.

Kiwis don’t tend to holler at the ref. In fact they go out of their way to stop it.
I still remember the ultimate one with Cole’s on Sexton

Mackenzie is not a world class player. He’s very good at an open broken game but gets horrible exposed against any tier one nation.
I'd rather have him on the bench than Havili, Clarke or Fainga'anuku in the crunch games. The latter pair are carthorses on defence.ScarfaceClaw wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:55 pm Mackenzie is not a world class player.

The Clarke call is a low blow. I’d rather have an empty spot on the bench.Gumboot wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:59 pmI'd rather have him on the bench than Havili, Clarke or Fainga'anuku in the crunch games.

Nothing. He’s great in these sorts of matches. ITV commentators (I’m looking at you Jim Hamilton) saying that he’s a quarter final starter. Ireland would take your hand off to have him starting.Enzedder wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:04 pmWhat's he done wrong now?ScarfaceClaw wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:55 pm Mackenzie is not a world class player.

Ah, he's not from Canterbury.

Isn't Southland close enough?

Blackadder’s on
Adding some much needed Canterbury starch to the Waikato flakiness creeping into the game.
