<p>Just saw the highlights but geez what did they put in Birds drink bottle? Whatever it is give it to him every game.</p>

<p>Great first half, crappy second from the Chiefs.</p>

<p>Frustrating for those of us at the game. 5 pts and move on.</p>

<p>As others have said, I have also been very impressed with Bird in recent weeks (I thought he played well vs the Highlanders too). He always had the physical attributes but did not impose himself on the game, so I never rated him that highly. It's very noticeable now with his aggressive ball carrying, cleaning and tackling. More please.</p>

<p>DMac is becoming too predictable on the counter-attack. You can't fault his courage running at bigger players but sometimes a kick is the better option. </p>

<p>Weber took a few wrong options last night when he ignored overlaps and went the wrong way. I'd like to see him take more control at the back of the scrum.</p>

<p>Speaking of scrums, the Rebels especially were feeding the ball under the locks feet. I can't believe the ARs didn't pull them up once - PIckerill was in Gardner's ear all game but ignored the obvious.</p> -

<p>Have to say I thought Weber was fantastic. Passing a bit wayward at times when firing to the typical 10 position but otherwise really key in just keeping the plays going with remarkable speed and decision making.<br><br>
Seu must be in AB selectors thoughts.</p>

<p>Humm. Seu is far from reliable as far as defense is concerned. Can't stop the men running at him in their tracks and always concedes a few meters. Missed his tackle for Harris try.</p> -

<p>He simply needs to bulk up. I believe he's not far north of 100kg, and given how tall he is, you get a sense for much bulk he can add to his frame. Give him a couple of years then he will really be in the ABs sights.</p>
