@oleoleole come on, that pass from dmac has horrific, but it’s all on gatland for dropping it?

@arhs I wasn't impressed with the timing of McMillan's substitutions at all. Taukei'aho went off far too early and I would have moved Finau into lock when Brown came on (Ah Kuoi off). Karpik, again, showed he lacks size at this level.
I didn't think Lowe did anything wrong so just sub Wainui.

@bovidae Agree totally on all of that. I hope Taukei'aho can continue his early form, as his hard hitting and hard running are needed for getting the pack moving forward. I wonder if the coaching philosophy is to get players like him and Finau to empty the tank and give it 100% for as long as they can? Regardless, I thought they were still going strong when subbed far too early.
Lowe was very good and should keep his place. I am hoping Trask and Tupaea are back in the 23 very soon and a first-choice backline can get the chance to gel and align better on defence and offence.

Yep. Gatland Jr was standing so flat that DMac had to float the pass and give him time to take a step back.

@kiwiwomble out in the open, little pressure...he should have caught it....yes, the pass was average...but he should have caught it
