Calling from studio is a bit shit as it turns out

Ridiculous amount of tackle breaks from Bell. Got to be close to the most ever by a prop in a test? Sitting down Curry(?) was a highlight.

It's the most by a Tier 1 loosehead since 2010 according to Opta when they started compiling those stats.
All the more impressive considering we're a Tier 2 nation.

Tupou has to be the most overrated rugby player. He never scrums legally and is just as likely to drop/lose the ball when carrying as do anything positive.
Welcome to my club. IMO the hype around him has never been justified. Took to scrumming too late to be thrust into Test rugby. Looks unfit, very slow to get off the ground and loses the ball too often in contact.

I've often used Bell as an example of what I wish the AB props would do with the ball in hand.
Seems a tad harsh. Bell is an absolute freak. Numia is the best ball running prop in NZ but coaches prefer Bower.....

@cgrant always thought Charlie Faumauina off the bench was superb with great footwork before contact and an offload
Bell however is just a big man that just charges into contact like a raging bull , his acceleration off the mark is impressive -

He's also got fast feet near the line. A couple of those defenders are last-step changes in direction as well as running over people

I bet there's a fair few Wallabies fans no longer so upset that Sua'ali'i is getting a motzah based on that debut performance.

Probably shouting the team kebabs with the moolah he's on.
Why tortured commentator 'let rip' in this iconic moment
