Mounga and Barrett both showing weaknesses at 10. Not sure either can step up to play well at international
What don't you like?
I've been really pleased with Richie and thought BB has gone well as well.
Barrett: kicking passing carrying
Mounga tackling, defence and taking the ball into contact. At super and in touch he's amazing@nzzp said in Blues v Crusaders:

Richie knocked down Papali'i - who has 20kgs on him and someone else as well with a try saver - and then got stepped by an elite wing.
Seriously - Jonny Sexton is not going to stop those guys often either.
If we can find a 110kg elite first five I'm all for it!

Crusaders should be miles in front given the YC decisions and refereeing.

Clarke needs to talk to Ardie about leg drive and staying on your feet after contact
Blues need to chill a bit, too many tight passes

Yeah after his great first game, he's fallen (hah) back into old habits of starting to go to ground before the tackler even reaches him.

Wish Mo would give up on those dummies

Heem would be my AB bolter after Stevenson. Be excellent midfield cover for Jordie and Rieko I reckon.
As well as covering the back 3

Rieko had been so anonymous this game, I honestly thought he was being rested until he was mentioned for an error.
Silly hands in ruck penalty 34-28 saders

They never call the tackled player in that scenario.

Sorry I read the score wrong. I thought they were up by 8 -

I just can’t handle Beauden anymore. Looks clueless on attack.
Tempted to think you might say that...
