    The big change was Thompson, midfield calmed down and just made some space for the outsides

    I like rob but think he needs a break

    Gregory exercised some demons

    McKay was good, that’s the kind of play I’ve always liked about him and glad we got to see a bit of it

    None our those guys could have done what they did without smith, d Hunt, frizzel and MMT

      @Bones Ioane’s passing is test level class. It’s quick, he can pass long both ways. It asks questions of the defence.

      Yeah to be honest I think that part of his game shades... well any other kiwi ten probably. Doesn't have the short passing game of some of the others but just gives so much time and space to the wide outs.

        I feel like an alien has invaded his body. Completely different player from the previous few years.

            I think he might just be a bit burnt out, he’s one of the seniors and one of the few constants in the back line this season, think he’s been trying to do too much

              thought you could only go back 2 rucks at most to look for infringements. there was clear 3 rucks.

                He started the season in the same form. If he's burnt out before he even plays then he needs to change something drastically.

                  Well not sure you can have a ruck if it's from an offside play...😬

                      I've never felt this angry after any rugby game loss before. Fuck Gatland and fuck the useless forward subs that came on.

                          We were hammering them.

                          And then we lost.

                              Great game , Chiefs really how the fuck did you lose that
                              Smith what an absolute legend inspirational performance and Frizzell very impresive

                                    Off today's showing, definitely. His decision making and execution was sublime once he had less time....

                                    Going off selection so far though I'm inclined to think we'll see McKay to 12 and Tomkinson shuffled out one.
