Franks has been reading the fern ,

Big improvements to his running game

That’s Franks? Shit I thought it was NMS!

Frizzel is looking good when running out wide. NMS is a nostalgic selection from 2015.

Frizzel is no doubt doing what he has been asked to do. Give NMS a chance FFS.

Can't see NZ losing this Championship for at least 5 years, maybe a decade.

How many chances does he need since he last had decent pace?

[antipodean]

Naholo gets a lot of turnovers - a real strength of his game.

I hear Shannon Frizzell's mum has a humble pie stand set-up for the fern half-time refreshments.

For running straight and offloading to an Argentinian?

If you can't see he has had a good work-rate, offered himself in contact, run nice lines, cleared our rucks etc...well there's always soccer to watch.

Yes, Mrs Frizzel. How’s the baking going?

Steady on it’s not even halftime yet

Franks seems to have really expanded his attacking repertoire. Next he'll be bring out the grubber in his own 22.

He still has a hell of a step. Not saying he is definitely the answer, just not ready to write him off yet. You have decided that he is past it and this colours your attitude of everything he does.

At his pace, so do retirees.

[Damo]

Give the try. There is fuck all in that.

[Donsteppa]

That’s a hell of a defensive effort by TJP.

[Damo]

Scratch that. Foot in touch. Well done TJP.

[Stargazer]

Geez, tough call for the Argies. Great work from TJP though.

[Kirwan]

Harsh TMO call IMO

[taniwharugby]

will TJ get done for the kick to the face....

[Higgins]

Touch and go really, I could have accepted it being awarded as in my eyes it was simply too close to call one way or the other.

[Donsteppa]

Now that’s work that I’ll buy big time from Frizzel.

[taniwharugby]

I think the obstruction is a bigger concern there than the line.
