All Blacks v Pumas

[ACT Crusader]

@gt12 we'll see about what they do with Ofa now that Laulala has shown his wares. At least for the rest of the season Ofa will get good game time to improve. But when Franks comes back who knows.

[pakman]

@ACT-Crusader Earlier in thread it was suggested that they were trying to make Ofa the new Charlie. I seem to recall Charlie wasn't the greatest scrummager in his early days but to paraphrase Joel Stransky had the potential to become a 10 in a prop's body. Ofa is certainly a physical specimen in the loose.

Laulala is scrumming specialist, so a straight back up for Franks. As are Hames and Moody. Moli seems to offer potential to be another mobile prop who can scrummage tidily.

As long as Ofa doesn't become another Joe McDonnell or Jamie Mackintosh.

Christ on a bike, any excuse to mention SBW as some kind of super athlete as if the rest are beer swilling club players.

Only that link. Strange

I'll have a look at it tomorrow

It's just that the link is missing the '.'

Anyway, high praise for Fifita. Looking forward to seeing him in action.

Ah that was me ... kind of.

It didn't have the "www" for a start. So I edited it to add but put a "/" instead of a ".".

YEah, that was me not fixing it properly..... thought I was being useful, I was wrong

It wasn't you. I took out the www so the link would show

The embedding isn't working. It's something to do with the & getting resolved differently than other links

@Bovidae

I still recall a bemused/gobsmacked media listening to a condescending Mitchell explain why McDonnell was picked from nowhere for his "explosive power".

[taniwharugby]

@Billy-Tell said in All Blacks v Pumas:

@Bovidae

...Mitchell...McDonnell... "explosive power".

[MN5]

Owen Frank's explosive power has seen him carry the ball about 5 metres in his whole career and score the same amount of test tries as everyone else commenting on this thread.

Best thing about this game so far - backs wearing black boots

[mimic]

Nice break by DMac to set up NMS

[Stargazer]

@mimic It's great what the presence of a hooker who runs like a wing can do! The Argies were so focused on him that they left a nice gap for Dmac to run through. Great finish from NMS. Not to forget Fifita's strong run.

[mimic]

Wow.. Fifita..

[canefan]

Is that young Canes star Fifita?

[Stargazer]

Geez, it's great to watch Fifita play tonight!
