    Reiko has the same weakness on the wing that he has at centre.

    I didn't even notice Reiko on the field

      Rieko didn't look dangerous on the wing at all.
      Goes to ground easily.

        Unless I'm missing something, the TMO was Brett Cronin?

            How good is Gael Fickou? Just gets in there with the young bloods and does the work.

              Very confusing when they said Cronin in the first half and Murphy in the second.

                2025 Rieko on the wing is not 2017 Rieko on the wing.

                  The ABs will repeat the eternal pattern of being a bit flat week 1 and then cut loose weeks 2 onward

                    Kind of what I half expected, but hoped for more. I doubted whether there was ever going to be a walkover (even if I wanted it). Was real stoked with my man Holland, and saw nothing to dissuade me of my idea he will be a 100 test AB. The CLW went well. I thought most went ok without setting world on fire. Proctor looked more comfortable in 2nd half.
                    Just saw the interview with Holland, his Dad is just gazing at him with a look of just such pride.

                        No Damon Murphy was Cronin was there to judge whether YCs would be updated. must be a new thing.

                          Hey, at least our win rate against the French is now up to 25% from the last 4 games

                            Wasn’t a vintage ABs performance tonight but they always seem to be rusty in the first one. I feel like a few of the newbies can put their first test behind them and move on. Expecting a much better performance next week.

                                In my opinion the loose forward balance missed Blackadder greatly, either starting or off the bench.
