Awesome line to draw defence and create space.
You won't see better.

So that "much better backrow" from the North - according to some Ferners - wasn't much better after all. Of the starting loosies, Sotutu had a very good game; but - and I'm far from a fan of Sanders - he had a good game as well. Frizell was better than AIoane, but neither really stood out. Savea was underwhelming, while youngster T Christie wasn't bad at all, especially if you take into consideration the huge difference in experience between the two.

I remember when we used to see Read ranging on the wing, taking contact and popping passes like that....

Great match for the non-partisan.
More of that please.
#NorthVSouth was the top trender on UK Twitter this morning. NZR's sponsors will be very happy.

Random thought on McKenzie. He's had his critics this year and rightly so, but I think he played pretty well, best he's been all year.

@Yeetyaah He does good stuff but I would have Jordie over him any day. His bad pass and Ralphs brain farct gave away points. He is great at times. Having said that Jordie makes the occassionally mistake too
but I like his size, especially at international rugby level. Should have been a half back. -

He is getting old. We need to look forward to 4 years and who will have the job then. He looked good because Mitch Hunt was on the field.

Thought North loosies much more dynamic/balanced when Papali'i (world's largest 7?) came on and Ardie went to 8. Perhaps Sotutu short of a gallop?
Christie was very good. I think he was helped playing in 'Crusaders' pack, whereas Frizell didn't seem to get the opportunities he did so well with at Clan. Sanders also gave it heaps.

Loved the game. Hope this becomes a regular fixture. Jordie is definitely growing into his body, becoming a bit of a weapon.

Height a big plus in modern kicking game. DMac suffers from same problem as Mitchell Hunt.
