All Blacks MOTM Bledisloe 3
-
@Nepia Frizzel carried alot in the first half, but was smashed by Aus most of the time, but we didnt lose any ball.
He just isnt imposing himself as you'd expect from his physical size, so maybe that might come the more he plays
-
@Machpants had 10 carries for 10m..nothign wrong with his workrate, just lacking a bit of physicality at the moment

Agreed, he's not there yet in terms of physicality. However, his work rate is generally good across the 80, but especially in the first half. And I think he's also increased his physicality bit by bit across the three tests. His trajectory is right, so we just have to hope that he continues to get better and more physical with each hit out.

Frizell runs too upright so is often driven back in the tackle.
I voted Mo'unga, Whitelock, and ALB over Coles.
I dunno about this, I re-watched this morning, and while he isn't making any line breaks, he consistently drew 2 tacklers and always made it a metre or 2 over the ad line. That has some value, especially when the ball comes back quickly.

I think he is playing super tight , doing the hard yards not that 6 who is always ranging out wide. funny some think he runs to upright, I remember when they used to say the same about Kaino.

Yeah, Frizzel really busy tight 6 doing the yards up fat man's ally with Whitelock creating space further out and being a great defender in close as well. Is it a coincidence that Cane is being able to range a little bit wider and become a ball runner?
