Pleased for Cane that he’s had another run after the red in the RWC final. At least that’s not the note that he’ll finish on now

Think he has 3 games to make 100?

I hoped the coaches are relieved but pissed off, as that second half was as shit as the first was jizz worthy

Ardie nails it in the post match comments. Need to bring that first half effort every week.

Darry, Vaai and Mighty Williams

Jordan?

He was mostly very average, sand much worse than that at fullback - he was a liability

Mark Tele'a is a headscratcher, is he fast enough on the wing? Looked faster this week but still not a speedster. But so strong on the ball in the middle of the field, maybe a midfield position suits him?

@Donsteppa Ardie and a couple of the other leaders (old and young) in the forwards really stood up tonight, let's hope the rest of the side follow.

Frank

Very unimpressed with Jordan.
Quick, but dainty in contact.
Rieko to his wing.

KiwiMurph

Very pleasing to see the non established guys like Tamaiti Darry and Vaai step up in the tight 5.

nostrildamus

linebreaks 10:1 is a good stat.

Tordah

Ofa should have done enough to play himself out of the matchday 23, which is good. Good scrummager but oh so many idiocies

It’s like this generation of players can’t stick to a game plan for 80 mins. Instead we loosen up and play rugby with lots of kicking in attacking situations. If I was coach I would be pissed.

Proverbial Game of Two Halves...

Bones

Are we still hot on Jordan at fullback? Two absolutely fucking prime examples of what I keep yapping about.

Beauden suuuucks at first five.

Vaai was great as a loose 6.

Some gorgeous brutal hits from DP.

Good to see Jordie given a game plan that suits him.

Fuck Rieko, a centre's bread and butter pass is the short/medium to a guy in space. Double down on that training and I'm sold.

The penalty for the Matera "steal" should go on the WR site as a perfect example of bridging. Laughable.

Or maybe the opposition have a better halftime strategy meeting?

I wonder what they actually said at halftime. Definitely an improvement on their white flag waving in the first 40.
