On the positive side, I'd hope this is another step towards getting some new ideas in the ABs

Not many carrying meters from the forwards
Sotutu with 13 & Tuipulotu with 8 are the best. Really low compared to normal
Bower I think literally has no stats. We cant have a LH prop who only scrums.
shocked by the 28 minute maul-wonder if the AB fwds stood up too quickly thinking it was won. Has Patty T been physical enough?
liked JB and big boot v useful. -

Frizell gone well? I have not seen much of him.
I think you answered your own question.

@nepia How many chances does the guy need? He doesn't cut it at test level and we have far better options.

George Bridge: made one tackle, missed two.
Zero run meters. He gets shit because he deserves it.

@gt12 Another one who shouldn't be anywhere near the test lineup.
It's a very average lineup out there.

Blackadder and Frizell are basically the same type of player (Blackadder is probably much better).
We are getting no run meters out of either but very accurate tackling. We can’t have a loose forward trio with two tacklers who font get run meters.
-
Good game so far.
Those Fijian's are big boys and are playing some rally good rugby.
Might need a change of game plan at half time and commit a few more to the ruck as we're struggling to clear the ball quick enough. The backs will do the business as long as they can get quick ball.
@toddy yea Fiji doing what they need to disrupt this soft AB pack, meaning our backs aren't getting any decent ball.

We just lack physicality. Don't think we took the threat serious enough and took the piss with the starting lineup a bit.

In saying that we should still be playing better than this shit.we’re is a game plan or progression from last year .soft forward effort let’s hope COVID keeps SA out of the RC .

Wish we had the Papali’i/Jacobson/Ioane trio out there
Yep, that's pour more physical trio. Blackadder is probably the most physical of the current 3 and his position is less based on using that physicality.

@nepia he is essentially playing out of position too. To state the obvious, this trio is not working.

@gt12 Frizzell is about as effective as Reed Prinsep at test level.

If Prisnep ever makes the ABs I'm going to blame you for making this comment. I'll send @Snowy around to your place for a visit.
