Dunno if this has been posted...but it's pretty cool
That annoys me. I really try to dislike BOD based on all the ‘coulda doid’ shit from 2005.
I’ve seen a few clips that paint him in a far more positive light.
Same thing happened with Austin Healy and before him there was Will Carling.
Thank god Jonny Sexton still seems like an absolute cock.

BOD is a pretty good pundit too. Others try to get him to say things to start controversy but he side steps them well. We had him for the QF up here and was really respectful and gave good insight.

Has anyone done a deep dive on Sititi's defence? He's a brilliant young player, who will be in the team for years, his running game is excellent, he's good over the ball, and he certainly has the x-factor, but how good is his tackling? Seems like an area he can improve in. I would back him to go up a level.

Rieko Ioane had to clean up so much shit ball, and managed to quickly recycle. Got a few hospital passes!

People don’t appreciate just how solid Rieko is in defense and how much crap he has to deal with. Not enough appreciation

@KiwiInLondon Great hit from him at 50 minutes that spilled the ball. Nice low tackle from Sititi.

@Tim without doing any kind of deep dive whatsoever, he seems very busy, quick back to position and often well balanced to put in a solid shoulder.
If I was to quantify it with accurate fact, I'd say he's a lovely hybrid of Collins and Sooialo.

@KiwiInLondon Yeah, because of our wide and flat play, he has to hit a shitload of rucks too.

Giving it the big one , because you've executed a 50/22 while 10 points down tells you all you need to know about that mob.
That kick though was a thing of beauty. Jordan did nothing wrong, the idea was good but bugger me, what a response!
Oh come on, how many meek turnovers does this guy get away with under the guise of doing nothing wrong? It was a shit kick when we were hot on attack. Selfish play.
Mate, a few minutes to play, put the opposition in their own 22 for a lineout. Whatever this kid has done to your family, let it go.
They were under pressure, we were running hot, he did his usual schizo and only cared about him so did his cute, aimless dink ahead. Brainless play. Repro has it covered.

@Bones Yeah, that was just a poor kick all round. He should have taken the ball into contact and setup another attack when we had them on the rack. The execution of the kick was poor too. Crappy play. That guy makes a lot of mistakes.

I just don't get the free pass he gets for (fairly frequent to be fair) miracle tries when he surely costs us more than 5 points a game from dismal or brainless play. On defence and attack.

Shit I like this new coaching group. They seem to know what they’re doing after all.
Some of you guys should read back what you write during the games.
