George Bower
was very good last night,
Gave Honeck a dust up in the scrums and carried well.
Luke Jacobsen
I thought until he got injured was busy last week he looks in good nick.
Tyler Lomax
Pretty good last week scrum went well while he was in for the Canes.Adding a few who haven’t been mentioned.

Frizell was great
always looks the business at super though.
I like De Groot, alot of potential, especially if guided properly, even more so that I know a local club prop that reached out to him on Social Media for some advice, and he responded with a numerous messages, training stuff, advice, encouragement and chat....top bloke!
This is the same conversation every year, definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly expecting different results, use to be frizells biggest fan…happy to look for someone else now
Can I ask why? You must have been the only one other than the AB coaches to see his ability from the Highlanders bench.
I thought he had a fairly busy game last night, but to go all buzz phrase he doesn't really bend the line that much for a guy his size and reputation.
@nepia I didn’t think it was a surprised he is often talked up a few years ago after super rugby, I mean his first game he scored three tries and walked all over the blues, I also didn’t think he was as bad for the abs as some did, I think he was given a different game plan…but, can’t argue ioane (and even Blackadder) often makes a much bigger impact in the black jersey, finally with his drama last year he just doesn’t seems like even a good bloke

I think lots of people were surprised when he made the ABs from the bench. Maybe he was more noticeable to you as he was a Highlander so you were more knowledgable about him. You, @Chris-B , and TJ were probably the only 3 who knew who he was.

@nepia If I’m honest my memory is he was very much starting a playing well for the highlanders when he got picked for the abs, don’t really remember thinking he was picked “from the bench”

Lol. Apart from giving away a shit load of stupid penalties. Jordan does all the RTSv stuff, and can kick

Alex Hodgman played well for the Blues, active around the paddock, solid at scrum time, worked hard at the breakdown with some nice touches with the ball.

And he can ran and catch a ball unlike Moody

He could be by the end of SR, but he's not yet
BTW I don't know what a thrashwank is nor whom you consider "NZs best luxury player"? WTF is a luxury player?

I did wonder if maybe he discovered Wendy's, or some shit that isn't in ChCh, but is in Auckland.
Is there a Wendy's in ChCh?
I don't care. Luke got fat, and WTF? -
Comments from Tom Robinson on Romano:
“I call him the Tyson Fury. He’s not a chiselled athlete but when he gets in there, man, he just goes and goes."
@bovidae haha that is quality

@kiwimurph said in Super Rugby AB Watch 2022:
Caleb Clarke looked much more like the 2020 version than the 2021 version.
I was coming here to post exactly that comment.
The 7s last year was a strategic error - he should have tried to hold his AB spot.
Another problem is that someone like Rayasi will eventually also be too hard to ignore, if he can cut out the silly errors.
If Brudge gets selected in the ABs ahead of Leicester, Clarke, or even Rayasi, I going to lose my shit.
Watching the highlights of Inga and Viduri in the last few days has really hammered home that we need more weapons on the flanks.
