How's the depth? Not bad eh.

Massive improvement in the 2nd half, althoooouuugh it was only Japan XV.

@Tim may aswell start him. Weber is leaving so better to give Fakatava a shot. Lovely try.

Weber’s box kicks were very average.

I think they averaged about 7m

He kicked into the wind, Fakatava with the wind (which was massive). Still, Fakatava had a much better game than Weber, helped by more secure ruck ball, also.

I noted that both Bell and Dyer are part of the squad. Jager injured again?

Ah Kuoi was my MOTM.

Nanai.Seturo for me, only back who basically did nothing wrong and a lot of things right

With half the top side isn't it? And the top coaches.

@Tordah IMO Sullivan was better than Nanai-Seturo.

Loved Fakatava doing his peak Aaron Smith impression.,,

Old Samurai Jack

Thought the lads played fairly well. Do you know how friggen hot it is tonight? The only movement should be to reach for a drink. Luckily though, it could have been worst. Mildish summer so far.
Au Koi was immense and the play/ball follows Billy Harmon all the time. Has a Hooper-like ability to be involved all the time.

Stargazer

Who was the official MotM (if there was one)?

Stargazer

Dumb question maybe ... was this on Stan? ... or otherwise available on the left of the Ta$man?

Stargazer

Watching the replay with one eye while doing something else and just saw that Zarn isn't the only Sullivan with a massive boot. Huge kick from Bailyn a few minutes before Nankivell's try.

Jailbreak7

@Stargazer It helps if you remove the eye patch.

He may have no pace anymore, but man Goodhue still has beautiful hands.

As @Victor-Meldrew observed recently, imagine him with Rieko's pace and you have the prince of centres.

Fuck playing rugby in that. It was a fucking fluffybunny if a day here, hot and muggy and I think felt much more than 29 (my app says we got a bit above 30).
