I thought TJP was the best player on the field in the 1st half...for the Baabaas. TKB's service was so much better in the 2nd half.
Sopoaga played poorly in a continuation of his form in the Brisbane test.
Kaino looked well off the pace, and he won't improve without gametime.
On a more positive note, Naholo looked really sharp and Romero was abrasive up front.

Up front, very quiet game from the initial front row and from Kaino. Fifita stepped up during the second half when he made a lot of go forward tackles.
Concerning the backline, Havili, ALB and BB were very quiet, too. Laumape had a better second half. Nahalo has certainly won his place for the French test. -

As far as I'm concerned, RM has overtaken LS as backup AB 10. Sopoaga is just not looking any threat on attack, which allows the defence to freely drift, and it's kills backline moves.

I am tired from work at the moment but who is RM? I can't get Ritchie McCaw out of my head and while that would be a fair shout, I doubt that is who RM is

Not writing Lima off yet ,
But I was always a bit curious, before cruden left , he was part of the squad for quite some time , but they elected to hardly ever use him . There was little indication of him ever moving into contention.
In their minds he was a clear third it seems .

Lima's a new daddy. He's been bleary-eyed distracted the past couple months with diaper duty.
