How is Bridge not in the All Blacks proper? He’s faster than NMS, smarter than Waholo and not burdened down by expectations like Jordie.

Also from Gisborne and good looking.

And learnt his rugby in Hawkes Bay.

I'm not the best judge of the looks of the players though - but NMS's missus is pretty hot.

@stargazer what about the kick chase and tackle from Bridge..put that man on a flight to London..!

[No Quarter]

Well despite some of our shortcomings on defense we are on track for 80+ points.

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris Yep, if only ...

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Piss taking now.

Not sure why people are stressing so much about the defence. Most of these guys will probably never start another test.

Bridge moving ahead of Naholo, Jordie Barrett and Miller Skudder.

[Stargazer]

Wow, Bridge, so good!!

[No Quarter]

Haha fuck Bridge is having a blinder. He's so far ahead of NMS it's not even funny.

The fact he plays wing and fullback increases his value ,

You can’t have too many utilities,

A wise old Indian once told me that

Bridge has been incredible.

Some nice kicking by Laumape. He's shown he's much more than just a battering ram.

[Billy Tell]

I have never been fully convinced by Bridge, keep having flashbacks to Scott Hamilton, but he's taking his chance with both hands here.

[Stargazer]

Sorry missed a bit because of buffering. Why did Jordie attempt that conversion?

Whole different world ahead.

Yup, good to see Laumape going well given SBWs decline.

[sparky]

Main positives: Laumape, Bridge and Papali'i all look they should be in the All Blacks RWC squad.

Main concern: Can Scott McLeod coach a defence to not leak tries?

A rare combination

[No Quarter]

At least the crowd has had plenty to cheer about.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Leave Naholo there.

[sparky]

Shame Laumape and Bridge aren't on flights to London tomorrow.

[Donsteppa]

Naholo looking increasingly NMS like while Bridge’s stocks rise.
