Went for Cane, Smith, Beaudy.

Worst on ground, Sonny Bill. The "awesome athlete" gets cut a hell of a lot of slack for all his brain farts.

Is not a starting 12 and they need to realise that and admit the error of their ways.

Bench is OK but nothing more.

Hard to see him with anything more than a bench role at best in Japan RWC 2019.

I'm not picking SBW, yellow rules him out, but funny you mention how he gets cut slack and then select a guy who kicked the ball out on the full from a 22 kick off and did some aimless bombs. I want last years BB back.

Beaudy had a bit of a strange game. He was a big part of why we were 26 points up but then did terribly when we were a player down. Still SBW has made dumb actions which has severely negatively affected us in two test matches this year. On other day, SBW costs us at that game. For me SBW isn't that much better on attack than the alternatives to override the dumb stuff he does.

@bones He played a great game. Whitelock and beast a little hyperbolic.

@nepia

Yes I am struggling with what to make off B.B. myself. When he is the one who is supposed to steady the ship he sometimes lacks composure. He can kick 100% but game to game you have no clue what you will get. I almost breathe a sigh of relief when he goes to full back. I chose Hames, Laulala and Ioane with Cane and Whitelock close behind. Strongly tempted to have Cane play some at 6 with Savea orTodd at 7.

Bones

@broughie nah

GagaBoy

Kane Hames was man of the match, ruthlessly dealt to the reputedly best tighthead in France. Got him yellow carded in the first half - unbelievable!

booboo

Cane and Whitelock plus one.

I went Taylor over Dubs. .. because PT

ARHS

Cane, Naholo & Whitelock

cgrant

Hames, Ioane and Naholo for me.

@bones Come on Bones. When I think beast I think Kaino, PT and that Georgian prop or hooker with stand out physical imposition on a game. Anyway agree he had a great game.

Bones

@broughie well that's fine if you have a different definition of beast than most people...

I wasn't using it to describe his size or muscles, it's pretty obvious. Even so, what's not standing out for you about a massive caveman looking fella?

I thought Chabal had retired, was he playing?

Bones

@mn5 probably at the end of the era you're interested in, yes.

I'll be up at 6.15 for the game this weekend but only cos it's Scotland.

Bones

@mn5 if you're up at that time, you could probably even try actually watching the match.

Provided there's copious amounts of bacon, eggs and black coffee thats a terrific idea. I might even see a Scottish try if I'm lucky.

Crucial

I'm still perplexed on these polls when BBBR isn't there.

If he was there he would have been MOTM, SBW would have caught that ball and DMac would have completed an audacious chip, catch, swerve, step and score.

But he wasn't.

ACT Crusader

Whitelock, Crotty, Taylor
Next best Romano and Todd.

Cane was ok.

Bovidae

Naholo, Cane and Hames.
