            I take it that's the first time Punivai has ever kicked the ball. Congratulations buddy, you did it!

              I think Papalii could be a great future 7.

                  Ruru's scrappy defence has been good today.

                  Can’t say he’s been very good clearing the ball though. Seems laboured and making late decisions. Forward dominance means it doesn’t matter though.

                      @crucial thats what you get from Ruru though...good scrapper defensively, but offset by his slower work going forward.

                          'world class centre' ' distribution excellent' are they watching the same game/player as me? One pass that was fine, and he's Conrad Smith? Ignoring the previous fuck up. Jeez cheer leading

                          @kiwimurph I like him and really want him to be a success at centre, but he did nothing more with that draw and pass than I would expect from a 1st 15 centre.

                                  Lower try strike rate too. Another pity of TJ not playing super this year, is that he can't take the homophobes try scoring record this year
