Scott Barrett massive

Jordie direct running is making a massive difference in our attack too

He's solid as a fucking rock.

you again doubters.

[nostrildamus]

yup Cane is always more obvious when he is not there. Our loosies aren't working that well together.
Then again Valentini has been rather good, one of their best IMO.

[Stargazer]

@nostrildamus Yep. You said he looks like a concert pianist, but we here in NZ fortunately can't see - and more importantly - hear him.

Hopefully Jacobsen gets a good run. We are lacking a bit of industry in the back row.

DP has been quiet

He looked to the manor born in Twickenham last year. But seems to have had a quiet super rugby and quiet today.

@canefan

Is Frizzell playing a bit tighter this game? Last week he was a couple of steps wider at th breakdown I think.

He's been that guy since the Lions tour, just no one noticed

ah, sorry. I missed taking a photo of the tv. He is trying to sound clearer but insightful analysis is still a work on.

[voodoo]

Jordie would be an awesome league player

Jordie is a boss. Carries into contact head down and jagged elbowed. A big lump.

The Havili as a test 12 experiment went on waaaaaaay too long.

BB has been looking more active (and more of a -second? 10?) this game. I was critical of Mounga but he has tackled well and had some nice touches/passes. But as a team we are missing something still, is it leadership?

He's not a Nonu. Doesn't need to be. Being solid works for me considering the recent midfield shit-fest.

[NTA]

Prediction: ABs bench accelerates things as their ruck work goes up a notch
Wallabies set piece runs out of puff and 3 quick tries between 50-65 minutes puts it to bed.

Maybe that's a little specific

@NTA I actually commented that before Alan went down thank you.

We are not winning the gain line today. Slow ruck speed.

I farking did. And the insane thing is that if it hadn't been for a freak series of injuries he'd probably still be scratching round at fullback while Haavili mediocres up the midfield.

Yup, good point.

@Unite

Last 3-4 games he's been huge. Engine room work has been outstanding.

Yeah he has been excellent the last few

Scary thought. Foster out
