@SouthernMann Stoddart add some heft? That might be slightly ambitious
In the loose he would have at least 10kg and probably 10cm on Broughton.
@SouthernMann consider me corrected. Didn’t realise how small Broughton was
-
@KiwiInLondon agreed. It’s a mess. It all looks panicked and messy. No pattern or structure, just throwing it away and then either kicking it aimlessly or bombing it. It’s genuinely concerning to be half way through the competition and putting out a performance like this against arguably a weaker team. Especially coming off a bye.
Huge second half needed here so I can happily eat my words.
@Landers92 dermondy needs to go
-
Some smart work by Fakatava there.
-
Harmon's been pretty good too.
-
Fakatava is putting his game together nicely. Still pretty rough around the edges. Showing good improvement. It is clear the players around Faleafaga don't quite know what his plan is with the ball yet. Often he has been having to take the tackle, when players should have been running off him.

11 phases...going backard
-
Really enjoy enterprising play like rolling mauls
-
What the heck was that re-start?!? That sequence of play is a great snapshot of this game

@SouthernMann Geez that must be frustrating.
-
At least we are ahead of the Crusaders on the ladder. Every cloud eh.

@SouthernMann haha can’t exit after a try. You learn that in under 16s.
Garden Bachop not in position and drops it then camera cuts to him and you see him laughing. Sums it up really. Pathetic.

...well...that was a fun evening at the rugby.....
thinking over the weekend....we just looked soft, ive been joking over the last week our season was over already....but i think the players believe that too based on that game...just soft arms in tackles, receivers getting the ball flat footed...then doing a two step on the spot before ducking the head into the tackle...no speed, no direction, no urgency
-
I thought Kellaway looked really good in this game. With him at fullback it takes pressure off of Gordon too

he's had a good season. Tries his guts out too.
-
The Wallaby fullback position is fairly wide open. Always thought he was a better winger than a fullback but certainly putting himself in the frame
@KiwiMurph right now I would go with a Toole, Kellaway and Wright back three for the Wallabies. All have plenty of pace and are smart footballers which Aussie need. You could put either Wright or Kellaway at 15 because they are both very adaptable in both positions.
