K. Beale is a big boy. He should take criticism like a good sport or just quit. He must take some blame but not entirely. But I'm surprised those that made bigger blunders, were in-fact horrendous and don't deserve to be in starting line-up are keeping low. These include N.Sharpe, S.Kepu and D.Dennis. N. Sharpe and S. Kepu combined to make about 10-15 errors in the opening 20 and result score was 18-3. D.Dennis was strolling on the park, thinking he was playing for Waratahs.

I was beginning to think Beale was drunk in the first half, but in retrospect how can anyone play well with such a stupid haircut?

jamietheprop - the biggest problem was a NH ref - slowed the game down to his fitness level and he has so little feel for the game.

K.Beale had a nightmare game ,but the whole team also played badly and didnt exacute even basic skills like passing/catching .The worrying thing is thats 2 nightmare games in a row for K.Beale.Perhaps he started to beleive his own hype ,and thought he didnt have to work on his skills ect .Welcome back to reality mate,your not as good as you think ,and every player has to constantly work on their skills set even legends which your not ,but could be if you ever get your act together.

Beale is never great on one on one last line defence. Play him at fly-half-- or on the wing if not. He Cooper and O'Connor are the rockstar party boys who will it seems possibly waste their talent by not giving it all when it counts. Compare for example Nathan Sharpe who gets every ounce out of himself every time--What a game he played.

Interesting that he makes reference to the ABs only giving away penalties in their own half. This has been noticed a long time ago. They selectively decide when to halt the momentum of opposing sides when they look like getting a head of steam. It is an effective tactic, if an opposition place kicker is having a bad day, it is a free ride for the ABs. If the ABs manage this tactic without making it look obvious, the cards stay in the refs pocket. Expect it to be the new directive from ref's bosses, that they need to pay attention to repeated infringements in defending 22. ABs ahead of the world in mastering the subtleties of 'ref management'.

Poor Dingo, still trying to find someone to blame.
How many penalties were your pups giving away in your 22 so that Dan Carter had 6 shots at goal vs.Headache Berricks 4?
Mind you with the Rolland drive by shooting of the game it's more surprising that there weren't more within range.

JamieTheProp... tad insecure there.

Intrestingly enough, Blaming Kurtley will make a change from blaming Robbie.
Both teams were below par, as was the ref.
Quite possibly the most boring Bledisloe in recent memory.
Bring on Eden Park.

If England played that badly everyone would be bleating on about NH rugby and the lack of basic skills - it would seem that one of the SH powerhouses an suffer the same fate - I think that was one of the worst games i've seen in a while and to blame one player is laughable!

ive lost count how many times ive heard deans say "well be better next time"!.. and to suggest the ABs were deliberately committing offenses whenever the wallabies got into the AB 22 is just laughable and desperate!

Too late Will, I think he's been blamed.
