I wouldn't go that far. He needs to work on his goal kicking and clearance kicks, but he is a more than useful player to have as a bench reserve. -
Nice long range try finished perfectly

Fark you are a broken record...no one has ever, said he isn't a quality player. -

For some reason that reminds me of a story Rodney Marsh used to tell about his last game for England under manager Alf Ramsey<br><br>
"The last time I was picked by him for England we had a team talk before the game and Alf told me we all had to work harder. "Rodney you in particular," he said in his accent. Then he said: "if you don't work hard I'm going to pull you off at half time." And I said: "Christ, at Man City all we get is a cup of tea and an orange."" -

<p>BB's running of the backline looks quite useful in this second half.........</p>

<p>You realise I'm talking about from set play, right? Not just running and passing?</p>

<p>Neither do you and three Wellingtonians, if we have to get to that level of silliness.<br><br>
And Savea scores a try after one of the wobblier cross kicks in test history.</p>

<p>Ha! Did he edit that part out? What a manchild.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice try. Some great hands from Kaino and Naholo.</p> -
Nice handling there by Tamanivalu...switching ball from hand to hand for the fend...a skill not oft seen these days

<p>Should secure his spot for the rest of the season.</p> -
Not only do our bench players add their bit to it, they add some energy to the rest....<br><br>
Wales score as I type -

Even according to the highly undistinguished Donsteppa live feed, he looks like a Cullen in broken play. <br><br>
But if it's hating to want to start Cruden/Sopoanga, and have Barrett on the field always from early in the second half, them so be it. -
Williams, bandy but brave

Well....who got the big don't argue there?<br>
Edit Tamanivalu -

Looks like it was to wake up for the next 30 minutes, but slack off in the last 10
