And I missed whiny Smith getting told off by the ref, so good.
Loved that both Smith and White got told to shut it. Cripes they go on!
Loved de Groot giving White the crying face too. If he doesn't like it he knows where to find him
I think Wilson will be looking for someone else to run full steam at in future too.
Holloway will pick his weak shoulder every day tho.
I love Wilson's physicality and don't mind once in a while he winds up and just runs into people. But in general play Holloway's run was superb and much more effective, maybe exposed a technique issue with DeGroot.
On DeGroot, love his physicality and abrasive nature but he looked like he ran out of puff barely 45-50mins into the game? I know frontrowers are only expected to go 50mins max these days but boy if there are injuries and he has to stay on the 80mins he'll be in troubble.

Holloway took the outside line on EDG into space. Wilson had Ardie covering that space. Not like EDG pulled off that hit by himself.

@NTA Wilson does have a tendancy to run straight lines though, as opposed to angles / footwork etc.
From earlier this year.
“My footwork that he (Rennie) wants me to work on is not just an overnight fix,” Wilson said. “I’ve made improvement, which he’s noted, but he’s also wants to see more growth." -

True, but in that case he was against a set defensive line so had to rely on winding up.
Holloway got a bit of a break there as Whitelock stayed out on his man, and EDG wasn't quick enough laterally.

Re-up:
These two videos are both still up. Maybe removing the sound helped?

Apologies if posted previously.
Some very interesting analysis:
Note also some observations about unseen elements of Clarke's and Sotutu's play.
How good was that catch and step in one motion from Jordan.
