Jacomb is fucking average AF
All he had to do was stay on Grace to cover the pass.
I had a good view of that try. I'm not sure why Narawa was always defending so narrow.

Vaa'i has made me eat my words. Never rated him and couldn't understand what he did to warrant his selection in the ABs over the years, but he started looking really good in black last year and appears to have added a physical edge to his game this year that he didn't have previously. Looks like he's put on some size as well.
And hopefully Lord gets a decent injury free run to show what he can do.

Noticeable that some Crusaders weren't retreating. Must be tired.
Our reserve front row have been exposed.
The scrum has been one of the most pleasing things so far irrespective of who is playing. Credit to Dewes.

Whoever is in charge of coaching our lineout needs to go.
Jono Gibbes this year. Some of the lineouts went spectacularly wrong.
Let's just keep it simple as there is plenty of height in the lineout.
Funny, last years U20's lineout was shambolic.

But improved from the previous year. Andrew Smith was very good on NZ's and the opposition's throw.
Bason is like Slater as a lineout thrower - you never know what you will get.

ok this system is stupid. in a game where you get absolutely humped, you will still get 12 player of the day points?
-
Jacobson and McMillan are taking the piss giving loose forwards points after they put 49 on them.

Lio-Willie did get 2 turnovers, and made 11 tackles (without a "dominant")
And Blackadder did make 21 tackes, 2 dominant. No turnovers. Missed 5 tackles as well.But year, those games are the same as 15 carries, 4 linebreaks, 103 metres, two tries. Oh and 11 tackles.
-
I still like this system of doing it. I think the opposing captain and coach, have far more idea who is causing them problems in the game. And as for even losing team getting 12 points, it is supposed to be for best players in that team, if the players who get the 12 points aren't playing the losing team may well lose by more!
I thought Blackadder looked pretty good to be honest. They were just beaten in loosies by a forward pack as a whole, rather than individuals if that makes sense? -
no Dan it does not. Under this system a player who is the best of a dogshit side that gets humped every single game of the season has a better chance of being "player of the year" than a guy in a team that wins every single game. that makes no sense.
The AFL coaches vote on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis but for the whole game. SO yeah, you want to reward Ethan bussing around and getting in teh way a bit? Give him two points. Giving him the same as one of the clear standouts, and more than the actual best loosie on the park is, quite frankly, communism.

@mariner4life maybe something like winning side get 6 points each to award, losers get 4 each.

Beyond that, you get rewarded for being the one good player in your team. So, a player like Sotutu last year probably has no chance as there were others doing great around him. They'll split the points.
I would be betting on A. Savea. In fact, fuck it. I will bet on him, opening the TAB right now.
Player everyone wants to blow? check.
Shit team? check.Super rugby player of the year locked in.
