    It's been obvious all season that Bridge is in terrible form. It's been obvious for a long while he is a very limited option. And yet Foster and Co. selected him on the Left Wing for the ABs. 🤬

    If I had to choose between him and Jordie..

    Jordie can at least beat a man one on one. Bridge is like picking a hooker that can’t throw into a line out.

    Yes sorry I didn't make myself clear, Jordie looks about the same 'speed' and has much greater impact.

          Dropped passes, bombed two or three trys by just not doing the basics. Can’t beat a man in a game like this is very poor

                  That is being fine and doing a lot of thing well... for Bridge

                    No matter the score in a game like this, can't really take anything from it, good or bad.

                    You saw the ABs intensity dropped about 20 mins which causes those micro second delays in decision making and then accuracy drops.

                      @stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.

                      And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.

                      Fozzie can't risk doing that, remember how much shit Hansen copped in 2015 when they did that.

                              @stag I am not watching so I have no opinion on how he is going. I do suspect it's not flash, but probably not as bad as it reads on here.

                                Imagine what the score would be if Brad Weber could pass accurately.

                                Tupaea has been better than I expected. Papalii and Jacobson have been great.

                                Taavao carved Tonga up and then we see Bridge kicking it away or failing to beat anyone.

                                  He tidied up some ball, passed well occasionally, had ok ball security, has a good workrate. But we won't get many trys from his side and he shouldn't play against the top teams. Am wondering who should be our top 11s.. Big Leicester would have at least one try already IMO.
