        Good work rate on defence by a few forwards

        Akira 17 tackles 1 miss, Goodhue 15 tackles 1 miss, Robinson 18 tackles 2 misses

          Still keen to see if Sullivan is going to be a running threat at this level, but ball in hand he is almost Carter like in his poise and time. Hope he develops into what he looks like he could be.

                      @nzzp agree. No pressure young fella, but future NZ world cup success is relying on you playing at 10.

                            Yeah way too early to say he is anywhere near Carter's level. He may yet fizz into nothing but it's a bloody good start.

                              @crazy-horse that and Carter was pretty average at fullback.

                                Nice to only play in second gear and still score 48. Probably left 20 out there if we could’ve finished more of the breaks.

                                One brain dead moment apart (and I think the back coach blamed lack of communication for it), Christie is hitting good form.

                                Dalton must have the AB seven sown up, he was impressive.

                                I see there has been some Carter comparisons for Sullivan. If you compare them at the same age you can see some of the same attributes. Great left foot and seems to have a lot of time. Really helps out Black being able to play as first receiver too.

                                  His kicking was outstanding, and the passing was bullets off each hand. Huge capability to work with, I'm on the bandwagon

                                    5 points in the bank despite not being anywhere near our best. Funnily enough, I thought the Waratahs looked good with ball in hand, playing flat with a short passing game where they were punching holes in our defence. Sadly for them though, they were guilty of pushing the pass a bit too much otherwise they could have put us under a bit more pressure.

                                    Massive games from Heem, Robinson, Akira, Christie and Sullivan imo.

                                      @african-monkey Akira doesn't look fully fit at the moment for me, maybe a niggling injury or injuries but he's much easier to stop/drop than he was earlier this season and last season (which is great if he can get back to full fitness, such a point of difference compared to all the other loosies putting their hands up, with his power/guile game).

                                      Blackadder/Grace/Jacobson are all a bit samey in their workhorse, rip shit n bust style, Paps is kinda like a hybrid of that and Cane, Frizzel is kinda like a hybrid of that and Ioane, Sotutu is kinda like a hybrid of Ioane and Ardie, just a bit more skilful, Ardie is like a hybrid of everyone.

                                      I guess Robinson and Boshier stand out a bit in that regard as they're a bit more specialist in 6 and 7 respectively. Robinson really reminds me of Gibbes.

                                        So to sum up, let's see an AB loose trio of Robinson, Boshier, Ioane.

                                        You heard it here first.
