How is Black playing?

He could do with a left boot, IMO.

Good enough for the Blues

[Stargazer]

Jules subbed off. Did he even touch the ball?

[KiwiMurph]

Great run Ben Lam. But Jonah Lowe should be playing instead according to some....

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph I would have left Goosen out of the line-up, not Lam.

He's just there to translate the Cheetahs calls from Afrikaans

I really like how Perenara is playing at the moment. Except for the game v the Chiefs, he's been really great this season. Better than Smith IMO.

His passing is still inconsistent. I prefer Smith starting at the moment - giving BB that extra yard of space will be important.

Would be an incredible AB selection to go past an incumbent who is having a massive influence on games.
I'd be shocked if a fit tj doesn't start, he's simply playing better than Smith

Some decent touches in the first 40, but quiet game overall.

[KiwiMurph]

@Siam i think TJP's also better equipped to deal with the hustling bustling Lions pack.

Pretty good crowd at the game considering its the Cheetahs and rough weather in Welly today.

Smith's pass is far superior to TJPs, and that alone has been key to the ABs the past few years. TJP may well get the start but I don't think it's a given at all.

Pretty amazing stat from the first half, Perenara leading turnovers in super rugby by a long way.

[No Quarter]

Fucking Aso again, if he could defend he'd be a superstar.

Laumape has been awesome this year. Such a strong runner - he's doing what everyone thought SBW would.

[hydro11]

Julian was decent today in that he tried to get involved a bit more. He is still a player who you need to put into a lot of space for him to be effective.

Pissed off they still have Aso at 13. Chuck Jordie in at 12 or 13.

Hindsight can be funny

[Damo]

I don't like to see Aso put the ball down like that. Looks twattish and is asking for trouble.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

I really like the look of TTT. I think he has a future. Just needs a bit more experience.

Don't know why they bothered with the Barretts today, although Beaudens kicking warmed the heart.

[Rembrandt]

Laumape continues to impress.

[No Quarter]

The cross kick from the Cheetahs player was awesome, just a terrible bounce.

Fuck Lam has gas when he puts the hammer down.

Not it this case. He's still a crap 13 playing against a crap side. He should be on the wing.

[Gunner]

@Rembrandt beat me to it.

He's pretty bloody impressive in all facets, best of all he nearly always takes the right option.

[Rembrandt]

my memory is rubbish who were the centre combination last year? I remember Laumape was there but wasn't a starter
