Plus a good cameo from Ratima. Something for the kid to build from.

@Chris-B Perofeta deserves another start

Agreed.

Start Ratima and Proctor on the bench

I would add finding a way to win two close games on the trot against a well prepared side who would have rated their chances big time, and done while they weren't playing as well as they could. Something AB teams of the last few years struggled to do.

I'm a bit sceptical the whole mind-set has changed and all those years of struggling to win when not playing well and under pressure have been vanquished after 3 weeks and 2 Tests together.

@nostrildamus

Yup, even though Foz was retained after the SA win he was effectively replaced by Schmidt.

Foz was basically an a mascot by the time the World Cup came round

I didn't say anything has been vanquished...

[BerniesCorner]

Restarts will be fixed

[BerniesCorner]

6,8 is a head scratcher.

[BerniesCorner]

Next game see what Sititi and Proctor can do

Agreed.

Start Ratima and Proctor on the bench

That ginger 9 was a handbrake on your attack. I’m not sold on Perenera but the snackhead is a good few steps below. The improvement when the sub came on was obvious.

wil you lend us your 9 then? Much appreciated, old chap!

So far Ive watched the first 50 minutes

Perofeta has been poor
Wings only adequate. Overall the back three needs at least 2 but I would prefer changes to all three
Reiko isn't a centre. Time to move on
Christie is only adequate

Taylor is having a poor game

Lineout is shit

Shit, hopefully Beauden Barrett makes a big impact or we’ll be screwed.

Having replacements come on for Reiko, Perofeta and Christie made the difference

This backline was poorly selected. Reiko if he starts should be on the wing along with Clarke. Barrett is a good sub but who else is there for FB unless they bring Love in. Perofeta isn't the answer at FB

Either ALB or Proctor at centre (both can pass). Ratima starts at HB and find another no 2 if Perenara is still injured.

Taylor had a poor game. Coaches need to take him off earlier and give Aumua more game time when this occurs

[BerniesCorner]

@Winger I'd prefer Reiko on the wing

[BerniesCorner]

We've kinda got a bomb squad now

Biggest concern is our inability to control half way. Our exits and ability to get into the opposition half has been a weakness for all ABs teams of recent years.

It baffles me that this remains the case when we have a 10 and 12 who both have cannons for their right legs. It's less about execution than it is about option taking.
