@tim he made some big & crunching tackles tonight.
-
@westcoastie a good first five challenging the line in traffic with pace or good running lines ( Barrett or Cruden ) makes difference

I don't know how people can say Crotty was awful. Sure, he didn't shine, but he didn't do so much wrong either. Not more than many other players, anyway. A lot of players were invisible, Crotty, but also the frontrow, Squire has been mentioned, Dmac. I'm mostly disappointed by Sopoaga, because I expected more of him. Read, Cane, Barrett, Ioane, Naholo and SBW were among the better players; I liked the spark TJP brought when he came on.

@nta what was the half-time possession count?
Felt like the AB's had 25% possession second half -
@westcoastie He absolutely did not. I watched him all game and he made one half decent tackle all night.

@crash I mentioned at the start of the BIL series that I would love to see an ALB/Goodhue centre partnership get a test at some stage this year. Am not convinced of our current pairing either. Tim is also right in stating that the centres had to deal with a really poor 10 tonight.
Have to give credit to clown, though. He has transformed a poor bunch from Super Rugby into a fit and physical team. Can't remember the last time I saw an AB team being physically dominated by the Wallabies like we were tonight. That was hard to stomach.
