@cgrant my eyes have been impressed with Beehre's carrying this season.
Like Props, we seem to have some serious depth at lock.
If only the same for 10...

Anyone watching the Wallabies Bok game, the value of a speedster like Toole and Kobe makes the selection of Leroy Carter that much more needed. The Bok are constantly struggling with speed out wide

@jimmyb yeah it's interesting, I'd definitely not rate Carter as a speedster. I'd be surprised if he's not one of the slower outside backs in the squad. Bloody quick off the mark and great anticipation and vision though.

I was always under the impression he was rapid? Ok maybe I take it back

I mean, he could be, but I'd cite sweet feet, lines and a fend as much more a weapon than pace. Jane mkII

Huge congratulations to Codie Taylor on reaching 100 Tests. He's been around since 2015. He watched and learned from the great Dane Coles, worked damn hard and has now become perhaps the first name on the AB team sheet.
Can remember when he was regarded on here with Christie-like reverence.
Classic case of the Fern living up to it's motto
Feel free to actually include some context.
In 2022 Codie Taylor's form fell of a cliff. From memory there was some oil in here that he had some off the field issues he was working through
In 2022 Samisoni had a breakout year and really started putting pressure on
More recently Codie Taylor has hit a real purple patch of form and Samisoni's form has dropped away (though a highly promising display last week).
Samisoni was injured last year disnt play a test

May have been second season syndrome.
I cant recall him being bad but it may have been that he had not seemed as noticeable because he wasnt brand new to the team.
Good to see he is back to playing well

Of concern though, he's 26 and a kiwi.

After watching the Boks v Wallabies - it is very clear our kicking accuracy and chasing is not of the same standard as either of them.
I feel we get much more BB dinky kick, low probability bullshit when the 9 isn't kicking with accuracy themselves. Ratimas box kicks need to improve - the forwards have given him plenty to work with and he and BB really need to step up and control the game - not keep rolling the dice and hoping for the best.

The Argentina Anthem seems longer and with more movements than a Charles Ives symphony,
