Reds v Blues
-
Taufa Funaki continues to be the big mover. I hadn't been that impressed with him over the last 2 seasons, but since pre season, has looked every bit a SR rugby player. Don't know if he's in the ABs plans or anything, but he wouldn't look out of place as the 3rd choice on current form. Reminds me of the late former Blues halfback Taniela Moa talent wise, but I hope he works harder off the field than Moa, which held his career back with us.
Akira is a loss, but other than that, it's a good looking starting line up.

Was interesting to hear Plummer say after the game last week how hard Funaki has been working - first to arrive last to leave sort of stuff.
The player Funaki reminds me a bit of is TKB.

@Duluth Yeah covid held him back with the 2021 NPC being cancelled which held his progress back a bit.
I think also being given trust by Cotter has helped him too. Usually he was in for one week, out for 4 then rinse and repeat. Now, he knows he's at the very least, in the 23 every week and with Christie out, know he'll have a decent run of starts.
@African-Monkey blessing in disguise with Christie being out.

@KiwiMurph agree. Great lines on support. We’ve got some great support runners in our halves atm with him Ratima and TJ. Cam R is excellent at this too.

VPN won’t work on this hotel wifi, and I can’t get Sky go to load video. So will need to rely on fern play by play.
@Duluth cough, cough.

Funaki/Plummer axis looked good last week. Be interesting to see how it goes this game.
