    Not only that, the reputation takes a long long time to shake. Agree that Pat T seems much better this year

    Since midway through last year IMO

    Which is when the ABs adjusted his nutrition plan

    joke in here about stopping beer and chips. Except it's not funny because it's true.

    Mmm. Craft beer.

    edit: I meant random internet person like me. Not Pat T. Pro athletes no doubt eat well

      Well I guess I might as well point out that it's not true. He was scoring well on all the fitness tests but was gassing on game day.

      The main problem was he wasn't eating enough on match day. The opposite of what most people would guess..
      I think Hansen said they upped his carbs as well

                I guess Plummer was only used to give Faiane a rest and to have fresh legs in altitude as well as us having no backup 12s. I'd expect Faiane to come back next week. Glad Perofeta played well too. I think he'd go better at the back in a 2nd playmaker type role as I don't think he's the man to be guiding us around the paddock from 10 at this stage.

                @Dice 2012 was the last time we won there 29-23. Gareth Anscombe scored all our points on debut and I remember Morne Steyn having a shocker with the boot that day too.

                He’s a specialist fullback. I hope all talk of Perofeta as a ten has ended

                  He looked genuinely good at fullback. Can’t wait to see him there on a dry track.

                    His positional play at fullback isn’t too bad and from my armchair he looks a little more comfortable there than at 1st 5.

                    He’s not that much bigger than DMac, so he will be tested on defence. Also what’s his top end speed like? He looks fleet footed but I can’t say I recall him gassing defenders ala DMac.

                      He's quick, but not as quick as DMac. Faster than Duffie, so would an upgrade for the team.

                        With Lamborn only making 1 tackle last week, I'm hoping we put Papali'i at 7 this week. We have to roll out our very best line-up against the Stormers.

                        Hopefully Rieko is ready to go this week.
