I want to see Samisoni, Roigard, Jacobsen, Papalii, Finau and DMAC start in Twickenham.

Jordan at 15 again..... we know what Beaudie can do.

The 80 minutes Finau got today was invaluable.

crushed Aussie souls nicely and got a reality check themselves at the same time. Good test.

When did Newell last play?

So long ago that I can't remember.

Yeah that's what I thought, pretty fucking impressive first game back

Tordah

Replacement front row won that (apart from old man Sam, who was probably ABs best). First half set piece was horrid, second was good, though a competing lineout would have been nice

Steven Harris

Totally owned most of that 2nd half without putting the points on the board
Fletcher Newall earned a seat on the plane .
Great to see SS come back in the 2nd half ,
Richie Mounga no 1 first five no question

Ardie was my MOTM. For a while he was standing alone. How many lone turnovers and barnstorming runs? Superhuman

Whitelock given my eye patch doesn’t have yellow and black

I think we learnt today that A Smith is the heart of this team and will go down as one of the all time greats.

Fletch came in for SA 2 last year when we were in the fucking doldrums. Unassuming player like Moody.

Gets the job done.

LF and Finau earn’t a seat on the plane to France and Newell showed why Ryan rates him as a TH.

Finau over who?

Both Whitelock and Savea were massive in that second half too.
