And some of our props were shown up around the field by their replacements, boy we are lucky to have these 4, now to find more locks..
I’m assuming Newell is a terrific scrummager because he offers absolutely nothing else, even by the less than impressive standards of recent AB props.
When was the last time you saw Ox Nche, MM, Bongo, Dan Cole et al running through, over and around blokes and putting their centres through half gaps off tips?

Calm down Lats, I’m not expecting miracles. Just some basic competency.

yeah, yeah I know that, but MY player was amazing! Didn't you see them!
I thought all the All Blacks played good. But how good was Newell, Williams, Bell, Scott Barrett, Darry, Blackadder, Hotham, Reece

I'm not the one tightening my knickers over FN.

Hardly ’tightening knickers’ Lats, just an observation on a particular player which tends to happen quite frequently on here.

Only watched extended highlights but Proctor's ability to straighten the line and distribute gave me something of a horn.

I really hope Ratima isn’t out for long, he really looks the goods
I think he'll be fine for the Arg test as it looked like concussion not an injury. The big question is whether TJP is fit, as then they have a selection decision to make.
The playing surface (Bermuda grass) definitely played a part in some of the handling errors when the players hit the ground, and it was mentioned was a really hard surface.

So my question above was answered, and it wasn't what most of us would have expected.
Ironically, if TJP wasn't injured in the 1st test vs England I don't think Ratima gets the opportunity to show the difference a quick pass makes compared to Christie.

True, but the fact it happened does give me more confidence in the coaching team.
